blown s15

[lilpiton]

hey whats up guys... i over boosted my sr and i blow my last piston. im gonna go with 0.20 over sized stock pistons, what do you guys think about that?
i still got a problem to solve, the bearing on the rods and the crankshaft and a lil scratched up and the question i have is, will the bearings from a stock USA 95 nissan sentra with the sr fit on a RWD sr???

did anyone do this set up on their sr's???

Just did the some on my s15 sr, ordered my bearings from enjuku racing, yo'll need to take care of the crank and rod though

[lilpiton]

yea i know thats what im gonna do. first im gonna get the pistons and then take it to the shop... how did you blow your shit up? what set up are you gonna go with??

since you're gonna take your crank/etc to the machine shop anyways. if you do get aftermarket rods, have the machine shop spec those out too. about 90% of the aftermarket rods need to be machined. typically the arp rod bolt is pressed in after it's made, or once they're torqued to the 47 ft lb most of them call for, they no longer are a perfect circle. our machine shop (which is next door) actually cuts the rod caps a little and re machines where the bearing sits.

the other thing a lot of people don't know, is that you need to file your piston ring gap correctly... a lot of people throw their motors together straight from the box the parts came in, and then wonder later why it didn't last etc.

just my .02, i wish u the best

im not getting new rods im gonna use the stock once they last up to 550 whp...
i n\would like to know if the us sr has the same bearing or not...

[Z U L8R]

it is the same, but it won't matter if you don't repair your damaged recycled parts.

[lilpiton]

well when i take my block and the crank to the shop they should match up the bearings dont you think so?

how much did you boost it?
