orderd parts today

Well I orderd my diamond pistons,eagle rods with arp rod bolts and arp head studs. Look out for 400+whp on track days

Links to where you ordered this from? I want to do the same for my turbo set up.

I called diamond for the pistons and got the rods and head studs local from my budys shop.

oooh I can;t wait, I really need to see this beast.

Diamond and ARP have their own sites... as for eagle

--- ARP
--- DIAMOND


Here is what I collected for the Turbo FAQ that no one reads.

* According to eagle the lowest priced place to get them is importparts.com
* This eagle Rod is a direct fit into the A20A engine. the only change required is to enlarge to a 21mm wrist pin from a 19mm wrist pin. Diamond pistons will accommodate this change here's the eagle part number
* Part Number - CRS5394a3d - Eagle rods

This is old info though, so any new updates in recent years, let me know so I can change the link and info.

400+ whp on an a20?? that should be sweet :rockon:

I thought you got that stuff all thur Shawn last year? or is this a differant project.


Maybe you could get the pistons with a 19mm pin size so you dont have to resize the rods. Save some weight on the heavy end as well and maybe the cost would equal out.

Sean was a joke all I did was lose money through him. I sent money for some stuff but well thats another story.

out of curiosity, are the pistons custom made, and if so, how much did it set you back?

Yes the pistons where custom they where around 580us with shipping ect..

Didn't you get the turbo manifold from sean?

whats so special about these pistons? higher/lower compression? just more durable and made for the HP?

i wish i could sink 5k into my motor rebuild... atleast i can dream:)

btw its www.diamondracing.net thats where he ordered the pistsons. :)

they are custom forged pistons setup with a 21mm wrist pin to fit with the LS rods. also they can be made with any CR that you want, so if you are building NA they can make them high CR, or u can go 8.46:1 like i did for a forced induction project. :) also diamond can hook it up with some BADASS 'power adder safe' rings. :)
