My friend got a 200sx with an turbo'd SR20 in it. The engine "Ate" piston 3 since the prievious owner didn't know what he was doing.... Anyway, When the piston exploded, it damaged rod #3. He's looking to buy a single or a set of rods for this engine.

Also, I'm not sure what this engine is out of, so I don't know what bearings to buy. The block has 53J stamped on it and the head has stamped 94Y with L2 stamped below it. I take it that the engine is an SR20DE as there aren't any oil squirters. I just don't know what I need to worry about when buying new rods/pistons/bearings for it. Can I run DET pistons for a better compression ratio since he plans to turbo it?
