N26 Forged internals Engine build
Just starting my engine build. I'm going to go with Maxspeedingrods connecting rods, cp pistons, and dry cast iron sleeves with support rings for the open deck from cylinder supports system. Just got my connecting rods from maxspeedingrods. Shipping was extremely quick. Next up is ordering the cp pistons

Would you mind measuring those rods center to center? They look like Eagle M5x rods.
Yep so, the rods pictured above are 135mm length c to c. Would need wrist pin and crank diameter but if that's the case, M50 based (m50, m52, s50, s52) rods will work - in which case I would go with Molnar rods personally.

lets you run higher boost without blowing your internals. build can be just bolt ons (hell even rims + tune is considered "build" these days) but forged internals engine build is going big turbo + custom internals so your engine doesn't explode

The reason why I have to rebuild the engine with stronger forged connecting rods and pistons is because the engine will basically self destruct from what I've read with anything around 325-350 whp. I'm going for around 5-600 whp with my set up.

Whats your budget if you don't mind me asking? I'm loving 300hp in this thing but 500 just sounds amazing especially if it can be done safely. And honestly, my car is paid in full and modded the way I want and its already worth almost worth nothing so.. fuck it?

I really didn't have a budget planned just trying to get good parts for as low as possible. I paid $658 for the rods shipped, and just got the pistons with the upgraded rings shipped for $905. With the twin charge setup I have planned, it should put a minimal amount of strain on the engine.

I plan on getting the Iron sleeves, cylinder support rings, and everything installed at cylinder support system. I have to find an engine block now because they're backed up about 8 weeks and I can't have the car parked that long.

On their website - www.cylindersupportsystem.com it says including iron liners . I forgot to ask specifically which brand. I'll call today later on and find out

I'm going to send it to cylinder support system, for $1,245 on their website they install support rings, the iron liners and machine everything to the block.

it's going to get everything else done with them so it's going to be more money. I'm just trying to find a block with a good crankshaft. They told me they’re real busy and I would be looking at an 8 week turn around
