Pistons and rods Options

[Punisher]

Who here is using aftermarket and what ya got and what did you expirence after the change?

I have a set of Eagle ESP H beams on the way and a set of Arias 87mm pistons and rings.

I spun a bearing on the highway last week.. So I got a reman'd crank.. they put a slight knife edge on it too.. came with matching ACL bearings.. figure now since I have it all out and apart I might as well do some ugprades with the rods and pistons.. having the entire bottom end balanced as well.

ill tell ya this much my friends mr2 has approx. 520 whp and shoots a mean 75 shot of nitrous on the 3sgte and well 1 yr later nothing has blown,.......eagles are beauties, i know cuz i got them myself and im looking for 400 whp, i heard those rods are well built for over 500 whp cars, arp bolts no joke either

Sick.. now that I've got this engine out I'm re-doing a LOT of ****.. let's just say when I'm done it's going to be one serious ****in go-fast car... Once I do a custom intake manifold, fuel upgrade, cams and standalone I'm hoping to be close to 400whp and hoping to do this around 20-21psi.

Weakest part will now be the crank.

dont worry these cranks HOLD!!!!!!! maybe shot peened and heat treated, but itll damn well hold 400 hp, thats what i want too

Well since everything is being balanced there will be a lot less centripetal force tryin to rip the crank apart.. so it'll be good for a lot of horsepower.

When i worked a motorcycle performance shop, we sold and used Carillo H-beam rods on our motors. They are strong and the bolts they used are almost indestructable. That was important for a 1397cc hayabusa reving up to 14,000 with nitrous or turbo, and sometimes both. they are pricy though i will say that

I've seen vids of those hayabusa's with FI... they are faster than superman lol. I road a bike for about a month last summer.. a 92 ninja 500cc... it wasn't all that fast of a bike.. it was rated for a 13s 1/4mile.. but that thing took my breathe away.. they just ****in move so god damn fast.. Too bad I ended up wrecking it due to fuel gumming up and the carbs starving and then out of no where it came back to life again real fast and I went vertical. Oh well... I'll stick to planes and cars
