Fitting Nippon Pistons to OEM Rods

[@markwallace5274]

That’s the way I do it also I will sometimes put my wrist pins in the freezer for a min just to help not always and I was always told you have to remove about 1 mm off both sides of the small end when using LS rods with any of the R pistons gsr type r and CTR But B16A pistons will work fine

[@badguysworldwide]

yea it was just over 1mm

[@hdrenginedevelopment7507]

So how much rpm are stock rods and pistons good for if using ARP rod bolts? I'm running a P08 D15B and a B20 soon to be GSR head swapped, both still on stock rods/pistons with ARP rod bolts. I'd rather not find out the hard way...lol

[@badguysworldwide]

we have sent stock ls rods with rod bolts to 9200 rpm but its sketchy lol

Badass what u building bro

[@josephdegoma1518]

are thos free floating pistons?on press fit pin rods?

[@qwerty9031]

What’s the $$$ of a work like this?

[@DistortedApricot]

i want to use my stock gsr rods with new nippon gsr pistons

[@adieselcotton]

I have some maxpeeding rods and Nippon racing floating pistons and I need the small end of the rod machined to the overall width of .700" am I able to send them in to you for the service.

[@badguysworldwide]

yes i can do that for you

[@adieselcotton]

@@badguysworldwide thanks I emailed you

[@nehasucambel9996]

[@descolero1]

What's the hp limit on the LS rods with the arp bolts?

need to not over heat them if thay cool and stay a blue color ur fucked thay loose clamp force

[@badguysworldwide]

the shop i learned this from has done probably 100,000 rods in over 40 years of machine work and have never had an issue with blue-ing the small end

[@thedistance8843]

Yea I've had a similar issue were I had a wrist pin shift and gouge a cylinder from re-using rods. Not sure if within time from heating them up and putting about 3 different sets of pistons onto them, if one of the rods lost its clamping force. I now always use floating style with circlips to prevent any of these mishaps.

@@thedistance8843 its not reuseing rods its not useing the proper way of installing it u heat rods in hot oil and dry ice pins rod oven damages them RTFM
