im thinking of rebuilt my motor for safety and i jus wanna do a regular 2.0 built. so what brand of pistons and rods should i get for the built? and what else i have to buy ?

 

Search through the build threads on here and see what others are using..there are alot of factors that go into choosing a rod/piston combo. You are also gunna need rod bolts, bearings new waterpump/oil pump etc. Goodluck

 

I thought you only needed a new water/oil pump if you had an engine failure

 

Major question.... Who is building/machining the motor?
Cp/ Pauter would be my what i use/ suggest to all of my customers that are looking to make power.

 

you dont need a new waterpump.

keep in mind the below is what you do when you have rod bearing shavings in your oil;

front cover and oil pump = yes
oil cooler + lines = yes
hot tank oil pan = yes
new oil pickup / drain tube = yes
inspect turbo
flush oil feed and return lines
clean / inspect head
inspect cams for damage
oil filter housing = no but recommended


pretty much anything oil hits you inspect or replace. it is not a fun process and it is very expensive. dont ask me how i know.

 

actually the most important question should be whats he doing with the motor? because if he wants rods to withstand 9500rpm+ rev's and etc that will be a factor in his purchasing.

 

im runnin je pistons and crower rods which some would say isnt good, but when you have acl race bearings, and arp everything internal should help withstand anything you through at it, im only on a version 1 fp red turbo, and block is rated for 750 at the crank, even 40 psi i wont get there on my red...its called planning ahead and leaving room to grow into the power, instead of one hero pull and pulling out your dick and comparing it to everyone elses hahahah im kidding but id talk to your tuner...

 

what crank, pistons, rods would be best for a 2.3 setup? and should i elim the balance shaft while there?

 

yes remove bs's and manley turbo tuff are good rods

 

how much power are you trying to make ? that should help us out. most if not all forged pistons will do the job just make sure to get larger wrist pins if you are going for some crazy amount of power as for rods pauters or manley turbo tuffs work great and you can always get upgraded rod bolts for them as well i like cp pistons or the weisco hd 1400 and turbo tuff rods most of the vendors here could point you in the right direction and help you with whatever plan and budget you have.

 

Wiseco 1400HD pistons / Manley Turbo Tuffs,... Nuff said.

 

+1

 

i jus wan a bottom end that can handle 500-600whp or over 30 - 35psi with no problem... and it has to be 2.0... i dont wanna go for stroke..... can any of u give a list of part (brand) +price? (all the parts that i need to buy to rebuilt bottom end)

 

Who's going to be building the motor?

Honestly after everything is said and done (parts, machining, balancing, blueprinting & assembly) you'll save a couple hundred bucks by going with an already assembled shortblock from a reputable vendor such as MAP or Buschur. A lot of vendors subsidize the cost of parts as a "package deal" when building a shorblock.

 

so basicly all u do is drop it in?
