bisimoto pistons and rods

[WiKKeDV16]

aftermarket rods.. are in some cases thicker and have tigher clearances with the cylinder wall.. or in some cases actually hit the wall when pre-aseembly is done.

so notching the wall is necessary to provide adequate clearance

like so

o ok i c. well as u might have read i don't have rods. been searching all dayh i think imma go with crower. those pauter and carillo are very expensive. i really dont c the difference in the a, i, h and x beam rods. which is strongest?

[WiKKeDV16]

the lettering signifys the overall design of the Rod.. look at I beam rods.. and look at H beam rods.. and you can see the "I" or the "H" design in it.. it actually looks like the Letter..


any other letter signifys the performance stage of the rod.. that varies with manufacture to manufacture.

now when looking for rods.. i couldnt find crower (For ghostcb7s build) what i found was the pauters.. or carillos..

the brian crowers (B.C) and Crowers.. were for h22a's.. didnt have any h23a.. maybe i just didnt look hard enough.. but totally dont regret the decision.. the pauter rods were great.. and held up to alot of 20psi abuse..

so i would have to preassemble the piston and rod and make sure that they dont tap? how do i have to notch it? would it be with a special tool or anything?

no special tool lol.. dremel is your friend

[Youngill726]

thanks for looking for me. i always found pauter and they are x beam for 900. also i went on horsepower freaks to see the crower rods

[Youngill726]

would it be a good idea to get arp head stud of yea i also went on ebay for the rods.

[WiKKeDV16]

the pauters we have are H beam.. they were about 650ish or so.. close to 700.. no were near 900.. so im positive the pauters your referring to are the 1000hp rated rods..


not really needed.. tad overkill..

ill see if i can find the part number for what we got


yes.. arp headstuds are a must to keep the head from lifting/flexing under high horsepower

[Youngill726]

ok cool man. i just keep coming across those and that price is scary lol. i mean i just spent 500 on pistons then i see that the civic has rods and pistons for 700 and im like damn. you have been a huge help man i would really appreciate your help.

[WiKKeDV16]

first off.. you cant compare the civic/integra market to ours.. their supply and demand is different.. therefore their pricing is different.. you can get pistons and rods.. as cheap as 600 for both.. vs us.. were near 1k for both piston/rod combo.. its just how it goes..

definetly dont mind helping.. Send me a PM with everything you plan on doing

goals..

setup..

power levels..
etc


ill see what i can help with

[Youngill726]

ok i sent you a pm.

Are you planning turbo to reach your goals? I assume so, with 300+hp daily driver goals... If you are planning NA, then DEFINITELY Stop now and rethink your strategy. There's no way a 350hp NA H23 would be a daily driver... and honestly, you'd probably be the first 350hp NA H23 in the world!

[WiKKeDV16]

Yeah its boost... spent a few hrs last night talking


boosted... already been boosted.. but its auto..


so well see where this goes..ive steered him away from making some wrong decisions..


its his "tuners" fault that his engine blew it.. no boost gauge.. doing crazy pulls.. smart...

[deevergote]

Step #1, don't go to that "tuner" again!

[Youngill726]

yea i really am not cause its been headache after headache. oh yea and dollar after dollar but i will get it done but after this is done im going on a car lot and looking for a dd.
