It seems we have everything else covered mod wise for 2.4s but what can we do as far as forged internals?

for all the boosted people that would like to make bigger numbers where are the places we can get pistons and rods? the only one i know of right now is imporperformanceparts.net and it comes with some other stuff.. my only concern is i dont want to drop compression that much. id like to keep stock cr or the lowest 9.5 or so. i need to call and ask if they allow you to have other compression options.




since we have forged rods according to the gm spec sheet i was considering just getting pistons, head studs and getting my rods cryo treated to strengthen em up. i also plan to have a p&p head, 3 angle valve job, supertech valve springs and arp head studs.. i think thats all for now. then ill throw in a larger turbo.. wut are the other small things that should be added when rebuilding the motor and if anyone knows where to get more forged parts for the le5 post it up!

 

not a bad kit price. good find.

 

ya its not bad... if all else fails i guess i could go with this and the low compression.

 

I got a quote a long time ago for custom pistons and they were $600-700 just for pistons.

 

fock.. thats alot.. but like i said.i may just get pistons and cryo treat some oem rods since theyre forged.. im not planning on doing much with the block. so it may cut the price down slightly.

 

someone else has to care about internals.. its amazing how many intake,header, and exhaust threads get more hits than this.

 

I think it was for my ranger so a 6 cylinder. but still high.

 

i wouldnt mind 500... oem rods are like 60 each. i could get em cryo treated for prolly 100.. then call it a day on the block..

 

yeah that is one reason to stay N/A

 

f that.. na is too slow.... the time period between my turbo being busted and driving na for awhile sucked.. now that im boosted again. ill never look back. the only way id enjoy an na car is if it was a high hp v6 or v8

 

Sorry to break it to you but Wiseco doesn't offer pistons for the 2.4L or atleast their catalog doesn't show them. Here is the PDF if you don't believe me.

another member bought that kit that i posted up so ur not breaking anything to me. he got the low compression pistons with it.

 

They do make pistons I've called them n talked to a rep eagle also makes rods for like 600

 

IIRC crower makes rods for the LE5...someone definitely does. And then you can always call weisco and they'll make custom pistons for any application. Problem solved

 

weisco will make custom pistons for any ecotec application in any bore, in any CR. Just gotta call em. Im pretty sure Crower made rods for the LE5 as well...i know someone definitely does (but theyre mad expensive compared to L61 rods)

EDIT: stupid server

 

the crower rods are expensive too? as in more than the $600 eagle rods?

 

might've been the eagles i was thinking of.

 

shoot thats still not bad.. i guess ill save up about another 2k while im cruisin around with 300whp.. get some pistons and rods, and get some headwork done all on the spare motor. then ill be ready to go..

are there any other small things that should be done when trying to build up a motor?

 

We can get 2.4l pistons from diamond, wait time is 2-3 weeks. Price is $40 more than the lsj pistons.

 

thats wtf i like to hear.. lol how come the le5 gets screwed on price? any compression?

and wut would u suggest? i was considering dropping to 10.0 or keeping stock comp. i like not needing alotta psi


edit.. CRAP thats a good price.. i know who's supplying my pistons.
my next question is what other parts should be coupled with the pistons and rods?

 

i'm only interesting with 10:1 at the very lowest

 

sig.

 

dang carillo rods for 1k.. i may have to look into those or eagle..

 

i have a brand new set for sale.. 1ooo.00 total

if i had the cash id definitely scoop that up. looking to build next yr.
