Bottom end build???

Got myself a spare engine to rebuild been looking at parts and doing some research on bits, im basically not going for mega power but want an engine that will take some abuse:eyebrows:

just been reading up on rods and pistons, come across these two on ebay

cant believe the price, I have done a search on the eagle rods which has come up with mixed opinions but mainly due to the studs snapping but these have been fitted with arp, to be honest you cant please every one these days.

the only thing im unsure of is the piston side of things, my dad has been rebuilding motobike engines with wiseco pistons for years and swears by them but on search theres no one using them on here:search: I cant find much on the JE pistons either

crank side of things do you just have them balenced or knife edged aswell?

uprated oil pumps but some have said stay with the oem one????

any help on the bottom end would be great also on piston and rod choice, like i said im not after big power so dont want to go over board + im not made of money

I know a guy with this setup in his T88 supra..

It really does sound sweet and recently made 630bhp

think I read some where might have been chris wilson who had a problem with arias pistons. But can throw them in for discussion aswell

I have always thought that eagle rods was good aswell but check what Dusty says about them

cant see why every one is slating them as I cant find any one who has had one fail

Yea true... i went through all this when doing mine and in the end took the advice of dusty and went with cp pistons and carrilo rods.

I'm running eagle rods with arps',

so was was Terry S. no issues to report

Have a chat with Migster - he's pretty hot on these things :)

The Eagles are weaker than Carillo's...but they are lighter too.

I think the eagles are for

JE Pistons will do the job just fine.
