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.
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.

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

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. :)
LOL Thanks Chris I used the same pistons as Chris I think we will both have some big power cars when done.Quote:

damn, i cant let you guy get too far ahead of me
you guys got their number? Did you guys go stock bore or oversize?
877-552-2112
i went .050 over
im debating wether i wanna just yank my head and oil pan in the turboaccord, deglaze and pop in new standard size forgings without going overbore. The engine runs great right now and i think the cylinders are pretty fresh... Weve done it before with good results but what do you guys think? My only fear is that they will get scuffed.
