#61011, "eagle h-beam rods"


          

I have a 95 eclipse gs with a hahn stage 2 kit. I am in the process of going to a stage 3 and have the engine pulled apart. What I wont to know is is anyone using eagle h-beam rods and running 18-20 psi of boost and if you are how long have you been doing so? I am also looking at getting wisco pistons becouse thay come in standard size at 87.5mm I already checked my cylinders for ware and thay are ok. So my second question is is anyone using wisco pistons and running 18-20 psi and if you are how long have you been using them? Thanks for all your responses in advance emoji

People have done your setup, I'd reccomend je pistons and doing a .02 over bore. That way you start fresh, you dont want to be doing it again if a ring didn't seal. Do it right the first time. Also people have had quality issues with wisco.

I would strongly advise you NOT to use wiseco pistons. I have run 20 psi on my eagle H beam rods and JE pistons. These eagles are good up to about 600 hp.

I have never heard of a quality issue or complaint with WISECO pistons, many a 4g63 motor has them in it making lots of HP.

Thanks for all your help guys! I have my motor apart but the block and trans are still in the car and I really dont wont to take the motor out if I dont have to like I said in my first post I did check the cylinders and I only got .001 taper. So I was just going to hone them to make sure the new rings will seat.I have another question I have read that some guys are using a ACE stage 3 clutch I called them and thay said thay dont sell one for my 95 gs eclipse. Are thay using a differant flywheel or what. And if I can use one how much do thay cost? Right now I am planing on using a centerforce dual friction. Thanks again for all your responses.
