As the title says are 7A pistons and Rods the same? Can these be used instead of my pitted 3B ones, Wab thinks it's just the rings which are different, this would save me a fortune if it's ok!

Think the rods are the same.
Unfortunately the piston are bigger bore for a start (82.5mm vs 81mm), have different compression height (increasing compression ratio), probably different construction and material(cast rather than forged). -
No, 7A pistons have a higher compression ratio, there basically flat top with no recess. 10.3:1 vs 9.3:1. They are also a wider bore, i think there 82mm vs 81mm on the s2.
Rods are also different, not as strong as S2 items.91CQ20v - Gone to a new home

I have an AAN bottom end which I was going to put rods into.
What is the problem with your bottom end?
I am going to rebuild the AAN anyway so I could do you an exchange and re-build yours instead.Kingdoms are run by Kings, Dictatorships are run by Dictators.

Originally posted by newtAnd finally some pictures of the prototype stage I kit:
The turbo kit's been on for over a month now, daily driven to work on 91oct and stock compression thus far, stage Ic ECU. ~7psi of boost, turbo is alive by 3k and pulls nice right to redline.
Car's got the power it should have had stock. 8)
