So basically I spun a rod bearing in my built type R.

It is 12.5/1 compression right now with stock rods and acl bearings.

NoW I am going to just build the motor for turbo I think. Low compression build with H beam rods.

What I need to know from you guys is what's a good brand pistons and rods to go with.

The issue is I won't be going turbo for a while so I don't want to go too low compression and be slow as dogshit so I need insight on what would be a good starting point.

Thanks in advance

 

9:1 is just fine. if the car is NA, it WILL be slow. doesnt matter if its 9:1 or 12:1.

everyone has there own opinion on what pistons to run and probably rods. i like Endyn/Pauter combo, but its spendy and im sure your setup wont benefit from either. just get some Wiesco or CP pistons and Eagle rods.


good luck, post pics when done.

 

Definately will post pics when im done.
