Evo 9 pistons and rod assembly?

[silversgst]

Hey guys im looking to go with an evo9 rotating assembly in my 2g. My question is how much should i expect to pay for pistons and rods combined with 120,000 miles? thanks

No advantages of using evo 9 internals. Stay with stock or go forged.

As mentioned above, stay stock, or go with a built shortblock. Evo guys put rods through the block over 400ft/lbs.

Not to mention cost. By the time you buy some evo rods/Pistons, have the block honed, buy rings, and put everything together, you're only a few hundred short of a basic eagle/wiseco combo.

alright, i'm looking for a semi build. I've heard that the stock evo 9 pistons do come forged and the rods are a little thicker. Hence why i was looking at an evo 9 setup. so does anyone know what they go for? thanks not looking to change setup

Rods are the same as 2g rods and the piston are not forged. The rings are expensive too.

This has been covered in here before. The 8s are cast and 9 are forged and the difference is in that thread. I will see if i can find it. Have a search incase you find it first
