2G/1G, piston and rod combo cost.
 

How much does it cost to have 2G pistons put on 1G rods?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Re: 2G/1G, piston and rod combo cost.
 

My engine builder said it'd be about $200 to modify the rods.

This is a great question!

Who around here is proficient at doing this? I know a few guys are running them, mara's car was for a long time (still is? idk). A lot of people question not just putting in a set of weiscos but for factory reliability, this is a tough combo to beat.

the talon's old engine (now in the 93 mirage) has this set up as does the 89 hatch.
I had the talon done over 8 years ago now back then it was 100.00 to do them all. The engine is still going strong today

Holy crap! $200 to bore out the rods 1mm and press four pins in? I just had Wagamon Bros do mine for $100, it took them a month to do it though.

Might not be the most cost effective thing nowdays. We used to do it, because the cheapest rods were $700+ and pistons were $600+ back in the day.

How much for a built set of R&Ps now?

Re: 2G/1G, piston and rod combo cost.
 

Econo rods that can handle 600-900whp are like $300-325 and pistons are $450-$550

Oh ok thanks. So if i can get a set for sub $200 its not a bad deal.

Re: 2G/1G, piston and rod combo cost.
 

Yeah, if you can score a used set of aftermarket rods and pistons in the right bore size, you can get a new set of rings for around $100.

i was talking 2g piston & 1g rod combo. I was looking to build a stock bottom end to try and chase Brad but it looks like everyone wants to swear off a 2g piston/1g rod combo, plus I would only do it if the motor needed it.

I'm hoping to get it together asap just to work out bugs.

Re: 2G/1G, piston and rod combo cost.
 

Brad's on low compression 1G pistons. Must be why he can run 38psi and a 100shot of nitrous and not knock.

^Thanks for clearing that up big guy.

Re: 2G/1G, piston and rod combo cost.
 

Just stick with 1g pistons d00d.

Re: 2G/1G, piston and rod combo cost.
 

Don't forget an amazing tune ;). I've never ran more than 32/33psi and 100 shot though. I'm a wuss:nod:

I guess never above 33psi or whatever with the nitrous. :)

And resize for ARP rod bolts, forgot to mention that.


It's $165 at thedsmgraveyard.com
