Default Stock pistons, and eagle rods?

will my stock d16y8 pistons fit on my eagle rods? or does some sort of fabricating have to be done?

Downpipe is right. pistons are usually the first ones to go. if u can only afford one, i suggest better go with Arias forged pistons and use stock rods.

Yeah, since you have the pistons and rods out, might as well put in forged....they are not that expensive.

You should have done the B16 rod/Supra piston thing instead.

Buy one of my spare sets of LS rods for cheap and then you'll have the money to get some forged pistons
