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.

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

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

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

Re: 2G/1G, piston and rod combo cost.
Econo rods that can handle 600-900whp are like $300-325 and pistons are $450-$550

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.

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