GUys I recently threw a rod, and since this am looking for some forged gear since the motor will be outa the car.

Can you guys suggest brand & price for forged pistons & conrods and where they are available (shops) or if anyone has any available (laying around the house)?

Cheers & thanks Guys,

How on earth did you throw a rod with 200rwkw?

If you don't plan to do much more to the car, just get another RB25 engine, a lot cheaper and no mucking around.

Cant quite explain that one.

Who knows what the guy did before me with it. I just thought since the motore will be out may as well do right from day one with forged gear and if I choose later down the track for some higher Hp output i know i could handle it..

Seen many 25s throw rods even at modest power. They snap at the Oil squirter boss and often do little or no damage to the block as the rod still attached to the crank is short. Some totally destroy everything. Most brake when you lift off after a high speed run, The combustion load stops excessive rod stretch at high rpm till you close the throttle.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
