im using tuner toys h beams with vitara pistons and im havng a little problem. the pin is juss a little larger then the hole on the rods. where the wrist pin connects the rods with the pistons. i was wondering if i could juss bore out the hole to make it fit. i wouldnt be taking a lot out. i could get it in there with juss a little force but that would take away the whole floating factor.

 

Yes you could take the rods to a machine shop and have them resize the bushing in the rod end.

I am not familar with the Vitara piston setups. Ceck in the FI section for more info.

 

You should check the Vitara/GE combo thread. Its like 5-6 pages long in the FI forum. Its usually for D series. But that thread will explain what to do. I think it was something to do with the pin itself and not the rod. But cant remember.

Hum, my eagle/vitara combo went together like a glove. I wonder if its not the Tuner Toy rods that are the issue. Did you get the pistons from FJT? or are they from a different maker/model.

 

yeah they are from FJT. yeah i think thats its the tuner toys rods but i dont no.

Give them a call, i know the vitaras slipped right onto my Eagles... so i'd check with them.

 

the TT rods, eagle, scat, and crower econo rods are all made in the same factory. they are then shipped to the individual companies to re-sell for various prices. hmmm thats strange.... up to a $200 price difference for the exact same item.

anyway, theres probably nothing wrong with the rods. dont they have to be installed with a press?

I'd love to see some proof of this... people are always saying this and this are made in the same factory, but barely anyone offers any evidence.
