wiseco and eagle, I think that is the common piston/rod combo.

I got mine from www.importperformaceparts.com (IIRC)
there are many other places to get them too, one other guy on this site, but I can't remember his name.



not to be an ass or anything, but have you considered a eco swap.. or is the 2200 turbo your goal??? many have done it with great results, but you may consider looking into a swap, do the cost benefit/potential.

I stuck with the 2200. with the amount of money u put into swapping, u could turbo your car. and then ur faster than an eco or 2.4. but its all about what u want. i stuck with the 2200 just because i didn't feel like doing the swap. and i don't have one regret. currently the only thing holding my car back from meeting my 350hp goal is mainly a bigger turbo and two other things.
