Question Which Internals!!!!

Hey guys,

I am looking for the best combo of forged internals for my 2.0L Build.
Please do not consider money in your suggestion. Maximum reliability is my primary concern.

My options for pistons are:
-JE
-CP

My options for the rods are:
-Manley I-beam turbo tuff
-Crower Rods
-Carrillo H-beam

Do not feel limited to my options, please feel free to suggest something else if need be

Thanks in advance

Respect
Moose

I think the most common combo I've seen is Wiseco pistons and Eagle rods... can't go wrong with that.

What makes those items worth twice the price of the most expensive american product? does the performance/reliability justify the price tag?

check www.500whp.com if you wanna know what i am talking about.

if there is something exceptional about those brands, other than that they are made in japan, i would get them in a heart beat.

thanks

WHEN I SPOKE WITH BUSCHER, HE SAID HE WAS USING JE AND CROWER. MY PERSONAL CHOICE, CARILLO H-BEAM AND CP PISTONS.

If you want to eliminate the guess work run what the fastest run, Ross & JE pistons along with Oliver and Crower rods.

If they made products for a evo im sure someone would back you up on that.

Just buy a block from BR and call it a day.

Oliver and Crower are both awesome rods. Ive had issues with the Manley rods were the big end of the rod was machined wrong.

Ive been using Arias with great luck.
