I am in the process of rebuilding my B18c1 and want to due a cp piston and manley rod set up. Im looking at pushing about 450-550 whp. So I was just wondering what you guys thought of this buy from this website?

Or i need to know some good after market head studs and main studs. So if you know of a company to go with let me know.

CP pistons and ARP studs are what most people use, I'm not sure about Manly rods, but I think they're pretty darn good too

Lol 94VTECoupe, i swear you answer all my questions in the threads i make... Im just going to start PMing you lol... Thanks bro. But i heard ARP are not that great. I heard from a local friend, but idk how reliable his statement is thats why im asking.

first off arp are grate studs and second off you will have to do more then pistons and rods to get that kind of power you first need to send youre block off to get it sleeved like dart or golden eagle then look for pistons and rods

arp makes the best bolts in the business. cp and mahle are popular because of the 4032 alloy. you don't have to run slap happy piston to wall like you do 2014. manley always has made a killer rod. if you build this on a stock block it will live awhile if you set the bearings up on the loose side. still with all the money in other parts a dart block would be the way i would go. you could sleeve and save a few hundred but resale is higher with the dart and so is quality.

My block has already been sleeved by golden eagle. But now im definitly going to go with ARP head and main studs.

Wow man, 450whp is insane. I've seen a done out one pushing 335whp that gave an E46M3 a good run to 100 mph, thats awesome, power to you and good luck!

Whats your guys take on Wiseco pistons? Ive been thinking about running these instead of CPs. Any advice on Wiseco?

Yeah, I've been on an internet peak the last week because I'm trying to avoid studying for my finals...

Keep us updated, I always like seeing a build

same thing in a different wrapper. 4032 alloy. cp, wiseco and mahle are all like this.

Miracle11

Yea i understand the alloy, but i wasnt for sure if there was a big difference between them. I think im going to run the manley and wiseco setup.

racebum

not much of one. you could line up all 3, close your eyes and point & be totally content with your choice. mahle is the least expensive if you buy from maw products. cp is the most. mahle is famous in can am and gt racing. wiseco in nascar and motocross and cp is made by carrillo which also makes an insanely good rod

I just bought from those guys, great service and fast delivery. I bought the 85mm CP and Manley rod combo, haven't installed as of yet.
