b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

i went out and got a set of eagle hbeam rods. i took them to a shop to have my factory pistons put on them. :6 break..... so tonight the guy at the shop tells me that the pistons will not go on the rods because of the bushing thats in them and i need pistons with snap in pin to hold the piston on the pin. is this true? or is there a way to put the b18a1 pistons on eagle hbeams and he just doesnt know it? need help asap thanks guys.

Read that thread and shut the ---- up. Your machinist always know what fits and what doesn't. It's their ------- job.

im pretty sure stock honda pistons use pressed in wrist pins, whereas ur eagle rods most likely have full floating wrist pins.

Way to faill...... :1

even if they would go on, WHY?? H beams and stock pistons= mega fail :3 you can get srp's for like $300

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

Go Nippon, they are not that bad $150

So you want to not break rods but break ringlands?

Note to you, bitch
People come here to learn and share. Not to be force fed the information into their head.
You start as a shitbag and work your way up. This isn't H-T bullshit here.

lol im glad u know how to play nice. but no seriously i had searched for probably an hour or 2 and found nothing about it thats why i posted, then i went and picked up the stuff today and saw what he was talkin about and figured it out. the way he explained it to me was all ass backwards, but its cool i got it now. now just starts the quest to find pistons at a decent price.

Sift through the HT classifieds, but that will require you to read a few FAQ's on basic search engine usage. Even Joseph Davis can use google, and I hear half his brain don't work...

I scored a box of brand-new Wiseco pistons for $300 to my door after looking for a week, along with two 3" elbows - awsome deal. You can always be cheap and get used pistons then toss new rings on them - the cost-benifit info is all in that link above. Right now a lot of the people out of work need to sell stuff dirt-cheap, and their loss is your gain.

yea ive seen like 3 or 4 sets on g2ic for like 295 to 350 shipped. so it will end up being like 2 weeks before i can get them, but like u said a lot of people dont have money which means they dont have money to spend either lol. plus some of the ones i saw were like 10.5:1cr lol and thats rediculous on an ls for turbo. im lookin from 9:1-9.5:1.

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

10.5:1 is very doable on a turbo setup. get a good tune, and youre golden with crazy boost madness

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

really? i thought thatd be a little high for a turbo set up. i know higher cr puts out higher hp but damn lol.

Jealousy's a bitch, isn't it?

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

U probably will make under 300whp and wasted your time/money on rods and pistons :8

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

yup should just boost stock motor not go crazy like my dumbass

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

na ive already got my mind set. im not going to pay 350 for a set of rods only to have them sit around and take up space. im going to put them to use, so im getting pistons for them, and the right bearings because slow boy racing doesnt know a type r or gsr from an ls and apparently a dseries from a bseries.

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

slowboy racing is nothing mor than an internet merchant who have a hardon for dsm products, but decided to branch out and overprice their chinese turbos with re-worked american turbo parts on the compressor side, and mark them up 90% from china with $30 invested on top of initial purchase

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

Slowboy, home of the intermittant scam.

theyre 45min drive from my driveway, ive always been tempted of ridding the world of their existance.

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

they are even closer than that to my grandmothers, but anyway i got the little problem with them figured out. the sent me bearings for a dseries and type r/gsr, and they wont return them because its open package and restocking fees and all that bullshit, but im getting a new set for $51 then putting this motor back together and selling the car and going back to the dsm :). getting a 90 gst >:D

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

Sounds like you don't know what you're doing.

DSM = crazy talk

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

oczc pistons work well on egale roads

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

dsm is not crazy talk, its big horsepower talk. and yes i know what im doing. rebuilding the motor, puttin it in the car, selling it, and going back to dsm's.

Re: b18a1 pistons on eagle rods? please help if u have any info
 

I like 4G63's, but nothing else about the cars are up to big horsepower. The drivetrain isn't up to moving a full weight DSM, the wiring substandard (but better than Toyota), and the MAF setup (or MAF-T) isn't anything I'd have on a car of my own.
