Piston/Rod combo?
Hey
Am looking to buy the piston set from Diamond, in stock CR and bore size. Was wondering what rods would work seamlessly with these?

Sure..
Luckily I have you non turbo people :~) That means companies like Hahn and ZZP make quality, T3/T4 exhaust manifolds so I can choose which turbo I want to throw on :~)
Stock Turbo. It's a TD04L-14T, i'm looking into the Hahn manifold, with possibly a GT28 or GT35R to push me. Though, that's a 3" Downpipe and high flow cat from BSR
Right now i'm running at about 16psi, with meth/water injection coming in at 10.5psi

JBP rods are identical but most expensive.
Eagle:
CRS5765C3D
C to C 5.765"
Bore ?
Pin ?
Crower
B93731B-4
C-to-C 5.767 in
Bore diameter: 2.047 in
Pin 20mm
Pauter
C-to-C 145.5mm (5.728 in)
Bore diameter: 52.1 mm (2.051 in)
Pin 22mm
I could never find specs on the stock rod though to see how these compare

As it is, I paid $785 directly from Pauter and then I paid shipping/taxes and duty on them.

Boy, it was a pain in the ass to find parts for the LSJ.

good to know. When I emailed a distributor for JBP a while back I was told they were exact same size as the stock rods. When I called pauter they said "we have about 6 different sizes we do for the LSJ but here is the most common one"
Boy, it was a pain in the ass to find parts for the LSJ.

Pauter does many rods for the "Ecotec" and unless the specifically have a part number, they seem to get confused.
Pauter also has the HD rod for the LSJ which cost the same as the other billet rods. The HD rods are the ones we are using in my 2 engines.

Williamsburg, if you know about that massive street show that happens down at Home Depot every Saturday night (About 930) Then you'll see me there, or at Bass Pro. (Talking Newport News/Hampton now). Before that we all meet up at the sno zone on 17 at 730.
Got a 437bhp Neon, S2k (Not entirely sure what he's done, i'll talk to him next meet), the Saab, boosted honda, A 240SX with the SR20DET drop in it, some Civic with a 54 trim in it (insane, havn't seen it though he just got it running). Then some other random cars.
So the consensus is that the rods are good for 400bhp? I want them to be reliable as well..I don't want to rebuild my motor more then once (or twice, but not because I blew it up)

Then again, you are already inside the motor.

You are probably right that they aren't really handy but neither are Diamond pistons. Only certain #'s are made at a time.

I was waiting to see a part number, don't remember him posting one. I asked him about them and he said that they were full custom and hopefully they would add them to the catalog seperate from the other Ecotec rods but I don't think they ever did.
If he did post a number I'm probably just missing the post.

I know the HD Pauter rods, I had made, come with a part number.

The crower rod I used is part # B93731B-4 which is listed for engine "Ecotec 2.2L/2.0L" but it is not a drop in replacement for the LSJ. My builder said the length was different and the pin size was different I think

Magnus Uhr is telling me that my block should be reinforced for that kind of power. And with a Swedish guy named Magnus Uhr..I don't know if I can deny.
What do you guys think?
