So a machine shop needs to do the work to enlarge the wrist pin? which would cost an extra $100 or so at least.
SEAN - what kind of power do you expect the motor to be pushing out before it REALLY needs rods and pistons? I'd like to boost, but it'll be a while before i can afford the new pistons and connecting rods. You've been running on bone stock internals for a while so i imagine it wont be super necessary until we get crazy high boost going through it. Right?

eek! very nice :cool:
Sean I need some advice from you. I have a set of 10:1 JE's. Do you think that I should use them and get the wrist pins modified to fit these rods? Or should I get some lower compression Diamond pistons? I think it might be cheaper to go with the Diamond's because the cost of machining and the new wrist pins it could get pretty expensive. Please let me know what you think.
hmm id find somebody doing a N/A build up and sell the pistons. or a low boost motor. the diamonds are fairly inexspensive and come ready to put in. they also have been informed of the 19 and 21mm wrist pin varietys of rods we will be dealing with.the price does not change for either wrist pin size. also the 21mm wrist pins are tappered wall tool steel. good stuff.

and the eagle rods will fit the diamond pistons?
when you order the pistons you tell them what wrist pin size youll be using.

With all this talk of beefing up the internals, will the rod bearings need to be addressed as well or do you think they will hold up?

Done!
ACL Bearings (http://www.hondasaverracing.com/category.i?catid=7:7)
$125 for the set
only one snag. they only make the bearing sets for the b and h series motors. so were stuck until i can find crank bearings. rod bearings can be had at the dealer. and why is everything Honda so fucking exspensive i can get clevite z series bearings for any V8 engine for like $75 a set. there twice as many bearings to

Well from what I read many times is that is it perfectly ok and sometime better to use the Honda bearings insdead of paying more for aftermarket.

ACL's are actually cheaper than OEM honda bearings. But does it really matter if you save a few bucks on such a vital part of the engine?

Yea I would rather pay more for stuff like that, so I can more at ease about my engine not blowing up.

"Kamikaze headers offer the most power from any header available. With their unique vehicle-specific designs, Kamikaze headers make 4-5 more horsepower than DC Sports headers. "
-- is that BS?

Where did you see that?
I'm not saying Kamikaze is good but in general, DC isn't hard to beat, all you have to do is tune the header for your motor... DC is the basic bolt on header it needs to meet carb requirements and be able to hook up to the stock exhaust system.
They have bolt on stepped header designs that will outperform DC in a portion of the powerband, but different headers make more power in different rpm ranges.
But like I was saying if you move away from street legal and more towards a custom set you'll gain more hp then either.
Also you should compare the torque #'s. There should be a good balace between both. I'd rather gain 5hp and 10 ftlbs of tq then 10hp and 5 ftlbs of tq.
