oh, if you want to hold on to your stock pistons and rods and not seperate them. I have a set of stock rods with cooked pistons I’d sell you really cheap.

you dont honestly think that a na b16 is going to over power an oem rod do you?

putting anything in there that isnt lighter than stock is taking a step backwards.

toda rods are forged and lightweight. Besides, I’m going to send my motor to kingmotorsport for a full engine build.
