If your getting new sleeves in there, just go with the standard size pistons.

One things for sure though...make sure he torque plate hones the block.

Have you worked out what compression ratio your going to be running ?

Ahh okay, I thought you were getting Axis to do it.

In that case, fuck the CP gear off and go Cosworth love

ASG seem to know how to build a 2.5 that will hang together, so your in with the best chance there.

no i havent yet... any ideas. i wouldnt think that it would be too high as i will be running a fair whack of boost through it...

Joe why would i pay nearly 2gs for cosworth pistons when for less than half that i can get CP ones.. they both do the same job.. hahah

its the same with the rods... pauter rods would do just fine..

I am with Paul on this one Tino.

Don't ask for this sort of advice on here. Leave this to the engine builder as each knows what works for them.

yeah thats right clint, but i like to question the engine builder to see if alternatives will work and why they choose parts and practices.. This is where posing questions can help me out...
