Weak link in boosted engine
 

hey i just wanted to know what usually goes first in a boosted engine, should i invest in rods first or should i get a set of pistons, or should i just ------- go wild and buy both.

Re: Weak link in boosted engine
 

what engine are you working with? that will help us a bit.
Really you tune will determine how long your engine lasts.
But if you have the money, obviously you should buy both.

I know cfm sells focus rods and pistons for a decent price last time i checked. I have herd that stock focus motors can only take about 15psi and thats pushing it.

Re: Weak link in boosted engine
 

Don't waste your time only doing one and then the other becuase you will waste money replacing bearings / gaskets ect twice, do them both at once.

im driving a 2.0L zetec, i just wanted to know if you where pushing 15 psi on stock internals what is the most likely part to fail.

Re: Weak link in boosted engine
 

Your goal should be Hp, not psi !

Re: Weak link in boosted engine
 

i doubt any one else here has a focus to tell you about the strength of the internals....but like above, get both or dont bother getting either imho

Depending on what your hp and 1/4 mile goal is, you might beable to run a stock block.

Sounds like your weak link will be lack of knowledge.
