Hello, everyone. One of my stock rods broke and now I have to pull apart the engine and swap rods and pistons. I don't want to replace them with stock. I need stronger rods & pistons for my 3SGTE motor. Any recommendations as to which ones I should get and from where at a reasonable price?
And is 8.5 - 9.0 compression ration good? I'm just above 400WHP... Thanks much... -------------------- I drive a Celica. Anything "less" is just a car! |

My mechanics gave me the same recommendation and the prices as follow: Eagle Rods: $300 J&E Pistons: $540 8.5:1 compression Can I get them any cheaper or is that the best possible price. I am already using ARP bolts. Thanks... -------------------- I drive a Celica. Anything "less" is just a car! |
