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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
