Setup for an all motor build?
I need some help on an engine build. I have no idea where to start. I am going to be getting the eagle H Beam rods w/ the arp rod bolds.

I would like to go for 11:1 compression, I'm just not sure what I would need. Also, I'm not even sure if they make 11:1 pistons for the sr20de engines.

I need alot of help. If you have any ideas, let me know.
Thanks

Wow, man thats a pretty negative response. I'm all for criticism but that's straight up nasty.

OP: Honestly, we need some more info, and you probably should get a better idea of what you really want out of this car / engine. Different people go with different builds for different reasons, and it's all geared toward the individuals wants and tastes. Some guys prefer high-comp, some turbo, some nitrous. I will say, Eagle makes good all-around rods, but depending your goals, current budget, and what you have now, there might be better options or better rod/piston combinations to look at.

When embarking on something like this, it takes a decent amount of time just sitting down, looking around, and building a list with ideas of what you want done, and checking the approx. cost to do it. I've had my 2nd motor on a stand for months and months, I've torn it apart but still don't know how I want it back together. Thats why it's my "project". I don't expect it to ever be finished, honestly, but oddly enough thats part of what makes me love working on it. Right now, for me though, it's only been on paper for the last 4months or so, I haven't even gone into the realm of purchasing, much less serious wrenching.

Take your time, you'll be glad you did. Worst thing you can do is rush into it and then find it's not what you were looking for, or get suprised by something you didn't think of. We're always here to help, but honestly, you need a bit better of an idea of what you want before we can be really useful.

The basic Z32 NA pistons ( 11:1 ) , balanced internals and S4 or better cams is pretty fun ... If your looking for more power and want it bullet proof or higher revs , then the rods would be a good idea ... we put over 100K on the 11:1 SR ...made 186FWHP and ran it hard .... Track days, drags street abuse ...

That was with stock rods, crank etc. ...

I am sorry you said you spent 100k and only made 186hp did you type that right?
