Alright so while my motors apart. im gonna put in new pistons/rods/studs.

i was wondering if i should buy this combo

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CP-Pi...QQcmdZViewItem

seems not bad. How strong is this setup. Can i push 600whp out of it or should i upgrade the rods to pauter.

also, i will probably go with 8.5:1 CR and 96mm bore.

 

also, whats the diff between the L19 studs and the regular arp studs. Just stronger? Which one should i go with, with my power goal.

 

pm sharif@forged....he can do better for ya....
i went with pauter rods but people have pushed the eagles to 600rwhp....for pistons i suggest the arias extreme hd...they r the best hands down...
the l19 r just stronger....good to be safe imo...if u got the money get the upgrades....good luck!

 

i pmed sharif but he takes like a week jus to reply.

 

CP pistons have always been a top of the line brand. Most people go with 8.5:1 with a .020 overbore.

The Eagle Rods should be good for over 1000whp. They are rated at 250hp per rod and I have never ever seen a failure. They are also lighter than Pauter rods.

L19 head studs are made with a material that allows them to be torqued down to higher specs, and don't require the holes on the block to be machined out. I'd definitely go with them and an HKS head gasket.

 

^^^

did u use eagle rods ?

 

CP pistons are fantastic. Just look at the list of winners who use thier pistons.

 

Do the half inch head studs all the big shops recommend they Im telling you if you go with the regular you will have head lift.

 

Also another thought if your block is apart instead of buying everything seperate why not ship it out to one place like GTM and let them do everything at once

 

Not true. The majority of the FI builds use L19 or the standard studs. Theres no need in going 1/2 inch, unless your planning on going over 800hp+imo.

 

Injected's 1200+whp drag car is running L19 head studs.

 

Yep.

 

Eagles and CP here. 4k of 19psi torture.

 

Exactly. Stock size L19 head studs.

 

I am using Eagle rods, no issues as of yet, I am only at 1200 miles though, lol. I am using the L19 head studs as well.

I am at 16 psi and beating the sin out of it!

 

hahah....it's not a week...it takes me 24hrs maximum. You should see my inbox!

For customers that are ready to buy, we always answer the phone as well. PM sent.

 

+100000..

thanks injected for proving them to over 1000whp...so we can lol at those getting bigger/moreexpensive ones for 550whp builds




....
also to taurran for showin, once again, the eagle rods are quit a bargain for their quality

 

Im still using L17 at 600 wheel and there holding good.

 

for now...


jk


but ya guys. i think im gonna go with the cp pistons/eagle rod combo. Im also gonna purchase the l19 studs. HOWEVER, this is my plan ONLY if everythin else is good. If i need headwork and only one piston ring, then that comes first. im just hoping everything else is good so i can just build the block.

 

Why overbore the block? I wouldn't do any machine work if were talking about a motor that did not have a failure. I would just deck the heads, and go with new bearings. As far as the CP pistons and eagle rods thats a great combo. I have the Eagle rods as well and 565whp. You'd be better off buying from one of thevendors here on the board. The Performance Factory is big on CP pistons. Give them a ring.
