I'd personally go with JE Pistons and Pauter Rods, add that to your choices above. . .Eagle and Manley Rods are so so, and I wouldn't go with anything other than JE. . .maybe Wiseco. . .why? Previous experience in non-Evo car. . .

 

We have cosworth rod bearings as well as 1.3mm and 1.5mm cosworth headgaskets ready to ship today.

They are more affordable than you think!

whats the stock head gasket thickness? i dont want to lower my compression any more.

 

I believe stock is about 1.00-1.10mm.

Difference in compression is minimal and will in turn allow more boost to be run. Just think 1g DSM piston compression on the 4G63 was 7.8:1.

If you have purchased wiseco pistons, they are off the shelf at 9.0:1, whereas stock is 8.5:1. So effectively you end up with similar if not slightly greater compression than stock with the 1.3mm headgasket and 9.0:1 piston compression.

 

if im not mistaken, stock is 8.8:1

 

1g 4g63 7.8:1 90-94
2g 4g63 8.5:1 95-98
Evo 4g63 8.8:1 01-06 VII-IX

 

eagles because of lightweight and strength as long as your tune is good.

Wisecos because they've always worked for me and perform great!!
