D15b7 Rods and pistons?
Hi,
I'm going to build a turbo Mini me (b7/y8). I'm hoping for ~210hp. The botom end I have in now is old and worn 230k miles. I know the rods are pencils and the piston rings need to be replaced anyways. Are there any oem rods that I can use that would be stronger than the b7's. In addition are there any oem pistons that will lower my CR to ~9:1, yet still be strong. I know that if I really want to build it go with eagle or TT rods, but I dont want to drop $700 or wait several months.
