I want some recommendations on what pistons and rods would be best for the LS bottom for turbo. best as in quality and price.

 

Arias, JE, SRP pistons with Golden Eagle rods

 

alot of ppl get good results with arias ,cp, and weisco pistons on EAGLE rods. dont think that golden eagle makes rods i think the name you were looking for was Eagle Specialties.

 

my friend is using eagle h-beams and arias pistons in his 1.85l b16...but its all motor tho and they were custom for his setup, so they werent cheap

but they seem to be working great so far, 50 miles and untuned

how are crower rods ?

 

do some research, Lowest compression possible for a turbo setup

you do some research...you dont want the lowest possible compression...sure, you want lower than an all motor setup...but for a street driven car, i personally would rather need less boost and still make the same power lower in the powerband..ie stock compression

 

I had good experiences with JE pistons and Eagle rods. I built two other motors as well, but using SRP pistons. They seemed to make the same power. JE's were a little quieter when cold and seemed to use a little more oil....but that might have been a shoddy build job by me.
