2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

    cryo vs. forged

    after looking at the high prices of forged components i was wondering if....

    i was to get new pistons and rods and had them cryo treated would they be safe up to 15 psi? or does it just seem like a waste of money

    this is for my f22a6/f22b1 project thanks

      my boss says that cryo'ing the rods would make them too brittle. shot peening is another option, maybe even cheaper.

        would getting 280-300 only be possible with forged internals? i guess i should have said those numbers earlier

              either way a good set of rods will be needed. forged pistons would be nice with a ceramic coating so you dont burn them up :o

              crank should be fine.

                A magazine I just got a couple days ago had an article in it about this guy that owns a place that does cryo. He has a fully built S2000 that he uses to show off the cryo treatment, and he hasn't had any problems with things being too brittle or anything like that. The article didn't mention anything about cost or whether its stronger than forged stuff or not, though.

                  Not that I'm supporting cryo over forged, just adding a little more info to the Sandman's post. I'd kinda like to try boosting my spare F @ around 8-10 psi with hp goals pretty much anywhere above 200 hp. 200+ hp might be a little more safe (but possibly more boring) goal to hit with cryo. But its up to you. Its just that forged components have such a good reputation that its kind of hard to go with anything else.

                    Thank you. I get four car magazines that just about come in the same day every month and sometimes I forget which mag had which article.
