does anyone no if the je pisons will work with the stock rods? thanks in advance for ur time and attention...

draxcaliber

the question i have is why would you use stock rods if you are replacing the pistons anyway? i mean, your already right there to replace with some nice forged ones to take the punishment. why not take advantage of it?

es_05

well do you no who sells rods besides dezod?

Soulquarian

Another question, are pistons and rods all you need to run higher boost safely?

Dezod
Ptuning
Jotechracing
Race Engineering

Just to name a few. I'm sure Todd from TurboToyotas does also.

Way not Dezod?


Please whatever you do don't change the pistons without changing the rods. It will give you nothing but a false sense of security.

Soulquarian

So pistons and rods are all that's needed to run higher boost safely?

boostedbox06

they are low compression right? Be sure of that of your gonna boost high amounts.

Soulquarian

Yeah

satoman44

don't forget the bearings right?

Soulquarian

Ok, I want to build the motor to boost more.

What are all the things I should get?

Pistons
Rods
?

Piston, rods, and bearing are good to build the short block and that should take you to 400hp with no problems. If you wanna be safer or go more power then sleeve the motor. If you want to get crazy then do all of the above and build the head too so you can rise the rev limiter.

Soulquarian

Sweet. I'll probably be fine with 400hp :p

KILLERTC.COM has the best prices I've seen for rods & pistons other than on ebay.

I would go with headstuds too since you're going to have to replace them anyway (stock aren't reusable). And Carillo makes the rods I have.

Mightygnu

Easy way, just talk to Paul over @ Dezod. He will be able to set you up with everything!

redrumtc

killer tc has the internal on a sale and there dirt cheap

I didn't think their prices were that cheap.

Stock studs aren't reusable? What makes you say that or why aren't they reusable? I'm not reusing mine but I don't see why they wouldn't be reusable unless I'm looking at the wrong studs.
