We are looking for a base lancer that we can fab a turbo kit for. We have for the evo already but would like to get something going for the lancers also. If anyone is interested in details please let me know. I am posting here because it would be nice to have a built motor for the piece

Hey Andrew,
Bro were not going to be able to complete your order.
After pricing things out and finding out that JE is so
backed up that it would be at least 2-3 more months
before they can complete a mold, it makes more sense
for you and your crew to go with Road Race for the
pistons and contact Crower directly for the rods. To be
honest, things are so busy right now that I just don't
have the ability to give this project the attention
that it would require. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please let me know if there is any thing else that I
can do for you, and I'll make sure that you get hooked
up. Thanks
Shaun

Ok, so big thanks to Gabe at RRM. 
Placed my order for pistons today. No coating, but I think I'll live. 
I'm going to keep looking for rods, but things look grim at this point. 
I'll keep everyone updated in case I can find anything. Otherwise looks like I'm going to be stuck on stock rods...which I'm less than thrilled about.

As for the rods, We have pauter rods that we deal with and use on our EVO motors. If anyone is interested please let me know.

Just spoke with a/the import tech at Crower and placed my order. They do have the specs. Price was about the same as Billy's (around $700) and they required a deposit. Not like I really cared because I'm not cancelling unless they totally dick me around. 4-6 week wait. I guess I can consider reopening the GB, but right now I don't know if I have the extra time to arrange this. If anyone wants to help me or take over I'd be happy to lend what time I haveOnce I get a little more into the semester I'll have a better idea of how much free time I will have.
Andrew.. im going to contact them as soon as I get my W-2 form back becuase im getting pistons/rods either by myself or if we can arrange a group buy now that ill finally have some cash.
crap ghost, why did you have to bump this thread? makes me tempted, but i shouldnt right now.
sorry if this has been answered but how much boost will the rods and pistons be able to handle from crower?

I don't need to spend the money either, but I also don't need to cut corners this late in the game.
