I am looking for some pistions and rods for my DET. I dont know were to start looking for pistions and ROds. Also I dont know what kind. Can someone help me out thanks....

Richie

I have J@E pistons for the SR20DET motor. They will cost you $630 shipped to your door. That includes pistons. rings and piston pins. The sizes you can get are 86mm, 86.5mm and 87mm. I do not have rods.

Thanks Andreas Miko.

what size is the best to get? I dont know anything about rods and pistions. What compression are they too also? I will hitting the nos too.

Richie

It's really up to you what size you wanna use Richie. 86mm is stock (121 cu. in. or 2.0L). For the 86.5mm, you'll have to bore your block .5mm (or .020") which will give you a displacement of 123 cu. in. (or 2.02L). 87mm is a 1mm overbore (or .040") which will give you 124 (almost 125) cu. in. (or 2.04L). I'm not sure what compression Andreas has these at (too many variables to try to guess at it), but sizing is really up to you. The JEs are of very high quality too, btw. BTW Andreas, you might wanna change your title from Profit to Prophet; sorta gives the wrong idea the way it is now :D :p

Well what is the best mm and compresstion can I do? As far as pistions I am looking at the JE(might be getting them from Mr.Miko) and some weisco pistions. HOw about some Rods???? My car will be a daily driver? I dont know anything about MM and commpresstion. Should I go lower or higher on my compresstion? Sorry dont know anything about pistions and Rods.

Richie

Do you mind if I ask why you want pistons and rods? Because honestly, unless you're going over 400 wheel HP, you don't need them. There have been a good number of cases where people have done over 400 wheel HP on a completely stock *DE*, never mind a DET. I'd say don't spend the money unless you really need to.

All pistons are 8.5-1 compression. You will not need to get rods for your motor because SR20DET rods can take about 450 plus HP and SR20DE rods can take about 400 HP.

NSRACER thanks for showing me the spelling error.

So what you are saying that I just need pistions no rods right?

Richie

Right. If you don't plan on your car being a drag car, aftermarket pistons and stock rods should be fine.

No problem Andreas (hoping you didn't take offense because none was intended).

Well I am going change out the Rods. I dont want to go into the motor again. SO what kind of Rods should I get? Also Are the pistion forge? Also if I do get the Rods will I have a problem using the stock main and crack bearings? Also do i have to worrie about the space between the valves and the pistions? Just trying to do more resecch before i make my mind up.

Richie

JWT sells Crower rods. They also sell forged pistons.

If you buy JWT's pistons, you will have to have your block overbored, as their pistons are only sold in 87mm.

Need more info

First of all, what are your HP goals? As mentioned before, if you don't plan on more than 400whp you don't need rods.

I guess my goals are 400+hp...... going to change my Rods while the motor is apart.
