thinking of going this route with forged rods, but with stock p72 pistons, i heard that the p72 pistons wont fit with the forged LS rod because of the wrist pin? only the b16 will fit or type r.....the rod im going with is the eagle h-beam any input will help thx u

SlowReaction

why are you going to use a stock piston on a aftermarket rod?

bummmmmmppppppp

why would you run stock pistons on a forged rod?what is your ultimate goal?stock gsr pistons arent the best to handle boost and the compression isnt the best for an na application...gotta have a goal in mind otherwise your just wasting money

HiProfile

It should be safe to assume you're going with boost, as this is FI.

ALL Honda OEM cast pistons will take a **** (ringlands) before stock LS rods, let alone GSR rods. So I will present this question again:

yes turbo is my goal, looking to daily drive on 10 pounds reason why i was going with the stock pistons was because this is a budget build. what pistons do you suggest?

spgcuantik

oh ya stock bore just rehoned

mportracer33

just do stock rods and stock pistons if its a budget build...On 10 pounds the rods won't let loose.

doood

dont get stuck on a psi number. set a hp goal. 300whp on stock internals is perfectly doable with a good tune.

OR just run stock ls pistons with ls rods (aftermarket or stock) and ls crank on a gsr block.
