Default Can this be done?

Can you use stock pistons with eagle rods? If so how is this done and how much will it set me back. How Reliable will this be? This engine is a b18a1. Will be runing some sort of t3/t4. How much boost/HP can this setup take if it can be done?

It can be done, but its pointless even more if you are boosting...
The pistons needs to be machined to accept floating pins

its not really worth it...but it can be done from a machine shop....ive never had it done but i think they have to either rebush the rod or machine out the bushing thats in it...and since youre planning on boost,if you run a little lean you'll probably break the rings lands on the pistons and scratch the cylinder walls,and have to hone/bore out the sleeve and replace the pistons anyway....you can use srp..they're a little cheaper than je..
