Need inputs on my piston/rod choice
Looking for inputs on the pistons and rods that I am planning to get for my build. I also plan to have the rotating assembly balanced.
Wiseco K444x3903 pistons:
- 2618 alloy
- dish -11 cc (60cc heads .04 gasket. Shooting for 10:1 for future 8-10 psi)
- 1.300" compression height
- 3.903 bore
- 3.622 stroke
- .927 pin
- 6.125 rod length
K1 012AE25613 rods.
- 6.125 length
- 4340 alloy
- .927 pin
- 2.100 rod diameter

Sounds like a recipe for a boosted application and there's nothing wrong with your parts selection. I would look into the TSP Super I-beams, a better block and a good forged crank if planning to boost.
Plenty of people have run more than 8-10 psi with blowers on stock cranks without issue. I ran 15 psi with s procharger and nothing was wrong with that short block when I pulled it.

The crank doesn't know PSI lol. I wouldn't sweat it as long as you're not going crazy with the power, but that 2650 will make quite a bit of lowend torque that is going to stress the bottom end. It's not a centrifugal where power/boost is linear.












It's still going to make obnoxious lowend torque.
