I just bought the K1 forged Rods on my N/A (Naturally Aspirated) SOHC 4G94 (A/T) for my (CS6A) Lancer ES 2002. I was researching on RPW & RRM on Pistons but, they don't say any part #'s from CP pistons. Does any 1 know where I can find the correct pistons for my K1 Tech. rods. (High Compression) thank you.

Goals:
Oversized RRM TB (Throttle Body)
Oversized RRM IM (Intake Manifold)
RRM Lightweight Pulley (Crank Pulley)

Own:
Mirage 4G93 (Camshaft) Already Own
Fidanza Cam Gear (Sprocket) Already Own
ARP Head & Main Studs Already Own
K1 Technology Forged Rods

 

I'd skip the 4g93 cam unless you want endless cam and/or crankshaft position sensor codes... works fine for me but that dang code!

 

Yeah I hear you on them Error Codes. I haven't installed them since I want to build it right. I must go w/ the camshafts that are meant for our 4G94's (A/T) RRM or RPW.. Thankx for the reply.

 

K1 rods huh? Welp I hope you're ready to grind into the bottom end of your block to notch for clearance.

Shoulda researched first! Good luck with the N/A build bro.

 

He's right about having to grind the block with the k1 rods, I literally just had to the other day. The only clearance issue is the oil galley on the 4th cylinder intake side. I ordered my pistons through venolia. They were custom ones, but I used the original pistons as a template. There's a lot of calculations that need to go into it. Like are you decking the block? Boring the cylinder? I would talk to your machinist then get a hold of venolia or who ever you want to make them.

 

Im going to rebuild my engine this winter also and i was looking at the k1 rods and cp pistons package....how much do u have to grind off for the rods to fit? do u have any pics of that?

 

You dont grind the rods, you grind down the fourth cylinder oil galley on the intake side i think. Your gonna have to take off like 20 thousanths*

 

I dont have any pics but I can take some for you.

 

Im curious why you are going high comprensión? Is it because of the new cam?

 

Yea in know u have to grind the engine block and not the rods haha but it almost fits then if its only 20 thoulsands...
