rods and pistons

[QuattroFever]

hey lads and ladys,

I want to invest in a set of rods and pistons to sort the bottom end on my ABY S2 at the end of this month.

Whats a top choice for a bulletproof engine?

What bolts should I go for?

sell lots of bits but Corey at Quattronics is UK importer so will have some parts in stock I think!

We can do JE pistons and either SCAT or Eagle rods also.

Shoot me a PM and we'll work you out a good price.

>>>> ARP Head Studs and Main Bolts

ARP head stud kit washers have too small diameter. Raceware is better.

We just installed one set of ARP studs. The washers are indeed very small. We used the old original washers. They just have to be machined to allow slightly larger stud.

i have used arrows and cp pistions, and beaten my car for over 2 years, no probs.

works fine, with 2,5 bars of boost...

more expensive, then others, but bullitproff...

[QuattroFever]

whats the deal with carrillos and verdis, they seem to get quite a mention on here for some reason?

cheap or steep?

good or erm wood?

Arrows titaniums look good, bet the price doesn't!!

carrillos are very good but expensive pauter are very good but not as expensive

Just for curiosity, how often (km and years) do you open the engine bottom to taste the condition of beaten parts ? Or what is the planned time to open it again for rebuild ?

[palles2]

hi

we think the engine will do about 30.000 km, with full trottle.

i only use my car for drag use, an small tours.

we are thinking about getting a gt40 or gt42 on for next year.

i have heard bad about je/pauter/weseco that thees are discount!!

but i am nor sure...

i would rather pay a littel more and my car are bullitproff...

[Sweeper]

verdis are also very expensive but very good =]

I bought mine about three years ago, I think I paid around £800 or so for the steel Arrow 129's back then, although they are now going for £960 so they are not cheap.

I asked Arrow about ti rods, and they didn't stock them for the I5 application although they would make them for a price.

I-beam
H-beam

Well, with shipping I guess it's the same price that Verdis cost here, without my discount of course... And the Arrows are I-beam, which I heard should be better?

I wonder what price...
