pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

looking for forged rods and pistons for a b18a... lemme know what yall have........ thanx

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

hmm i have barely used forged srp pistons with brand new je proseal rings. Pistons are 10:1 b16 pistons but fit the b18a/b fine and yield about a 9.4:1 compression ratio. Also have arp rod bolts, clevite 77 rod bearings, mr.gasket stock 3 layer head gasket, and a goodyear gatorback timing belt. But another guy has first claim to the pistons and rings, just waiting to hear back from him within the next couple days. (want $250 for the pistons and rings -- rings alone were $80, and I bought the pistons used for 220)

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

are those rods forged???? how much u want for everything????? give a good price please :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

i don't have rods, just the pistons, rings, rodbolts, rodbearings, timingbelt, headgasket. I'll give you package price once I find out whether the other guy is going to buy the pistons n rings

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

oh ok... ;D

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

Might wanna recheck that...not trying to kill your deal or anything, but those b16 pistons in a b18a1 or b1 block will raise compression, not lower it. Example...I'm building an ls/vtec using my b16 stock pistons. Granted the head accounts for almost an extra point, but I will be very close to the 12:1 mark in my b18 block.

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

so which pistons are the best for my block???

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

IMO you should stick with a piston designed for that block. Most b-series pistons are interchangable, but unfortunately most of them will raise your compression, not lower it, in a b18a1. I'd go for a slightly lower than stock c/r, say like a 9:1 forged piston.

thanx man :y

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

Thats what i thought, but i checked the specs from srp on the pistons and compared them to stock and used a compression calculator, and I thought it came out between 9.4 and 9.5:1. Someone else should probably check it to be sure i suppose though

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

Post up the specs on them and I'll take a look and see.

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

This is for the 10.5:1 so the 10:1 would obviously be a lower compression (i think the dome cc's was a 4.x), I can't find the 10:1 but i know i did before so i don't know if they just stopped making them and only list their current product specs or...??

i have low compression ~8.5:1 used wiseco pistons 81mm with brand new rings already on eagle rods with arp bolts. car ran fine with them in there no problems. 520shipped obo. message me if you want some pictures

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

hmm i went through with the compression calculator again and using 4.5cc of piston displacement I got around a 10.7:1 compression.

Re: pistons and rods....... pleaseeee
 

give me a better price pleaseeeee
