Re: Pistons,Rods,Cams for FI Engine

Click the turbo project link in my sig, that should get you started.

The run down is this though:

CP pistons 9:1 CR forged pistons complete with rings and wristpins - $1100
6 take-off STi rods - $100
Cometic headgaskets - can't remember, I think they are like $130 now

Unless you want to rev a lot higher (which there's really no reason for) then that should do it.

You can also get Eagle H-Beam rods for a reasonable price, but you will have to contact them and get a balanced set of 6. They were unresponsive to my emails though.

I emailed them and asked if they had any and he hooked me up. Try to get some eagle ones first, it's the only place where I "cheaped out". I think you should definitely be able to run 12 psi with that, that's around what I'm aiming for.

Manley makes rods too, that's what is in Jack's EG33 Impreza.

Re: Pistons,Rods,Cams for FI Engine

OK I want to make sure I got it all...and where to get it from.

Cometic head gaskets - http://www.cometic.com
ARP head bolts - ??? (required?)
CP pistons - http://www.cp-carrillo.com
Aluminum crank/rod bearings - ???
Rods - rallispec.com (eventually)

as far as head work I think im going to rock the stock equipment. I haven't found any threads that says it wont work.

I may have found some STI rods for next to nothing. From what I read they are forged..if they come on a stock 300hp engine I think they will work just fine for my application.

You can buy them directly from Cometic, at $126.00 EACH, or from M.A.T.
for less than $200.00 a pair.

This is my thinking as well. If 4 of them are good for 300hp, then 6 ought to be be good for like 450. From what I've read on the impreza forums, the rods are not exactly the weak point of the engines either.

If you don't need stronger rods, then stick with the lighter ones. Depends on what you're planning in terms of power. It seems like you're capped to 12 psi, due to the pulley setup. Maybe some ARP rod bolts are a good idea.
