Well, to say we are inundated with Gen-4 engine parts these days is a bit... of an understatment. With the boxes of good OE rods and pistons laying around, it had me thinking:
Would anyone be interested in a very basic rod/piston set for any of the generations? Using the Gen-4 connecting rods, which are decently stout and with full-floating, we could match a set of lightweight X-Forging style pistons, for a very economical lightweight rod/piston setup, similar to what the ACRX's run, but custom tailored to each application. I would estimate costs to be ~2500ish, all in with rods, pistons, pins, rings and bearings. This would be ideal for N/A track day cars, head/cam cars, and low-boost forced induction <800 horsepower.
Any interest in something like that? I could probably assemble about 6-10 sets as it sits out of shelf parts.
