Where can I get some pistons, rods and crank so I can forge my motor it will see no more than 700hp to the wheels I don't want to cheap out but I don't have too much money to blow.

I Will be running a turbo so I need low compression.

Those are the two main ones I know. There are a ton more though. I personally bought from MMR (1st website) and have had great luck with them

I'd run stock compression. 9.5CP is fine. you can get it lower through MMR for sure though.

Modmax or Excessive motorsports...dont go through MMR

Depending on the goals/turbo sizing. A smaller turbo making more boost down low needs less compression.

Why not MMR, Ive seen a lot of good things from them on this forum. And for the price you cant really beat em. I spent the money on a Livernois block and it was nothing but problems. I could have bought 3 MMR blocks for the money I paid.

bc they are engine builders but engine assemblers. They dont have a good rep in the STL area and rightfully so

curious to what problems poeple were having with MMR because i was looking at there blocks, i have also heard good stuff from modmax.

1. Well they put normal gears when the customer asked for billet so that engine blew up.
2. Another guy had a longblock built by them built for 800rwhp and he had valve float at 5200rpms bc they put stock cam springs in the heads and not 125lbs springs.
3. They suggest moly rings for higher horserpower cars
there is more but I cant remember all of it

And they say 3 technicians sigh off on all of this?? please.

good to know, thanks.

Thank god I didn't go with them!! I ha about 5 ppl tell me they had major issues too

 

[03redgt03]

Just dont let them assemble anything, order the parts and do it yourself. Also OP, if you dont mind dealing with a craigslist type webpage, Corral.net is a good site. Gotten many things off there new and used (including forged rods,pistons,and crank.) No problems so far.

LOL Hater. There are many places to get a forged rotating assembly hell even Ebay has some eagle kits on it right now.

 

[Scott2001GT]

damn straight! ha

 

[sharkbait]

Just call up RGR and have a quality engine built.

or go buy one on ebay.

Just dont buy one from MMR

 

[SSG Pate]

Did you have an issue with an MMR motor?

 

[sharkbait]

I havnt personally, but several of our customers have experienced issues with their motors.

 

[SSG Pate]

Any perticular issues that stand out?
