its fnally that time... Engine rebuild!
So, long story short, I got my Evo paid off not long ago and have been waiting for it to break... (you know when they say the minute you pay it off it will break)...
So, I throw a rod the other day and that's why I have not been showing up on meets and all that goodness... good thing is I made a lot of good events this summer and met a few good people... and now I have all winter to build this engine...
Here is the thing, I have not done too many research on engine internal parts for this car, due to my baby due date near by and lack of research time, I am asking the best internet researcher from the NW to help me out.
In todays market, when it comes to 4G63 pistons and rods, who rings supereme? I know cosworth is on the top of the list and so are their prices... So the question I have here is, what would you do to your engine internal if you have to rebuild and have a butget of $3000+/- (for part only)?

Well I know a popular mid budget setup is the Ross pistons and Eagle rods. With your typical clevite bearing and ARP hardware. IIRC Paul ran that setup with his PT67 setup...I am not 100% sure on that though. Anyways its a fairly good route if you dont plan on insane horsepower. I believe AMS likes this setup...I think they even sell that specific setup with there Ross pistons. Hope that helps some...

I second db's list. JE Pistons are pretty good as well if you want a different flavor than Ross. Eagle rods are the only rods I put in to built motors; I've had nothing but good experiences with them.

So here is a list of what I have in mind.
Brian Crower EVO Pro Series Connecting Rods
Brian Crower EVO CP Shelf Pistons
ARP EVO Head Studs
Cosworth EVO High Performance Multi Layer Head Gaskets
Brian Crower EVO Stainless Steel Valves +1mm
Plus machines work... would that be a OK set up, or the ross+eagle is still better? Please reply with reasons?

Well I don't know how high you plan to go but I know the Eagle rods and Ross pistons are good well over 600whp. There is an article in Modified mag I believe that had AMS put this in there evo and they have like 200 some dyno runs and many drag passes on a 700hp setup. But I would def. get ahold of Paul or Lucas because they have alot of experience...I would expect Arias to be very good too like Paul said. Not sure about the BC stuff but I am sure its good.
Edit: One other thing I forgot was the megazine evo did have the head o-ringed to help since they were going to be running 40lbs or more boost. That may or may not be something to have done also just for extra insurance if you plan on a big turbo.

I have been in the engine build process like yours since may. I have acidently spent well over 3k easily. That is very easy to do if you are not watching every part you buy. Best of luck to you!

I just like the Eagle rods because of my experience with them. I have yet to have one fail and they've taken boost like a champ (30+ psi).
Paul would definitely know some crazy combos for high HP levels; the man is sexy when it comes to the Evo.
Also, no need for a super fancy headgasket. The stock one is a multilayer gasket and it'll work just fine.
