7afte pistons and rods, time to rebuild Options

[edo17982]

If you gonna go N/A route, then this will be the best bang for the $. Get some ITb's, good cams, fuel managment and you will gain more then 20 hp for sure.. But higher octane will need to be used..

yes doggy i do know how to lower it with the 4agze pistons 2mm headgasket should do the trick

but i'm thinking of getting these for an N/a application since i have to relace rings

i'm sick right now but still waiting to hear from PSI racing on the cost of the rods and pistons

[edo17982]

Hey Nick whats up, yeah I am sure I can offer you a better deal from the quantity order, but I will leave the responsibilty in your hands that we receive the full amount first before we place the order, we can get any compression ratio you want and any bore size, just so you know. Also, yes they would be forged billet pistons not coated, let me know what you think, and if we can receive full payment from the other related customers.

Thanks Nick,

I've been looking everywhere for those specs... I don't have them in my database...
As for fitment... gotta do live measurements... compared to the block. The 7A has a larger stroke than the 2ZZ also... so this might not be so good...

i'd say lets run a GB for rods and piston kit....
i want a ruff compression of 11:1 or so cause i wanna keep NA
with the proper fuel upgrades this is
and as for RODS what would be options and such?
i'm not familiar with rods and specs

If ya just want 11:1 CR ya can do like I've done and simply get Arias pistons foe 4AGE, rated 8.9:1 bored to 82mm and like me ya can get 11.06 CR. Ya won't need rods

[doGGy]

Well, if we could get some how price to 600$ im would be intrested for 100%... but now... 650$ + shipping will set me at 700$... so

Back in the day I was in contact with Ray Hall who built the 20valve 1.8 7age turbo. He had a custom rod made and I have over the years been in contact with this company. I am pretty confident that I would be able to set up something in the price range that would be less than 600 per set of rods. Depending on how many people I would think something like 575 or so maybe less. If I where doing something cost effective then Gze Pistons with stock 7afe size rods (but aftermarket) should go for about 800 or so for everything. This way everything will bolt in with no modifcation. If you guys are serious I could look into it further.

yes, we are serious on this, i was looking for somthing that is not too pricey over the year now..... and only thing that i found was crower and pauter, and both they charge 715$ per set + shipping......

So if you can get 575$ for the set, i would be in for sure.........
