which turbo pistons and rods
which turbo pistons and rods I am rebuilding my motor for my turbo build and I am stuck on which pistons and rods to get. I am looking for some reliable ones because I am going to be running between 700-800rwhp all the time and try to get up to 900-1000 later on. I have seen the scat i beam one for about $400-500. I found some eagle H beams on there site for 609$ and it says they are good for 1400hp. I might get those, but would rather spend the least amount. I am Keeping my stock crank and want my compression ratio around 9-9.5:1. Any input would help alot, thanks
Spend your money on the pistons, and make sure to get a 2618 alloy piston. Rods and Crank arent quite as important, but don't get ebay special.
Mine is a 2618 Diamond piston, Eagle Rods and Crank.

I have callies rods and wiseco pistons.I have used wiseco in my talons before.
Only thing is don't like have some pretty loud piston slap when car is cold but it goes away when warm.
I hear the diamond dont' slap much if at all? I am pretty sure that do have my car set up pretty loose as did tell builder that I was going to run around 1000rwhp with combo of spray and boost.
I think might try another brand though next time around.

Bob from exotic performance plus, who I was talking to about pistons and rods said this: I would go with a set of 72cc heads so the piston can have a thicker ring land. would I have to change any measurements on piston or rod specs to havef thicker ring lands or what? i.e. center of wrist pin to top of piston length?
