KA24DE piston and rod combo help for 500whp?

[lilbnort93]

Okay finally decided to tear apart my ka and build it for some decent power.
Now my goal is anywhere between 450 and 500whp this will be a weekend car but I want to be able to daily it with no issues or worries whatsoever.
Ive been doing some research on this and heard many different things so I want more answers.
My thoughts were Supertech pistons and Eagle H beam rods
but ive heard they were not the greatest for my power goals, now I don't want to break the bank but I don't want to cheap out as well.
So if anybody has any help id greatly appreciate it.
Any info will help.
Thanks for looking,
Brian.

Well, I had similar power goals and I ended up with CP pistons and eagle h beam rods. I just finished my engine and its running great, just waiting to go turbo. For the rods, Eagle says that their h beam rods are rated to 600+ hp. Not too sure about the pistons but I think that as long as you have some decent forged pistons with correctly sized piston ring end gap, you should be fine. Just do a little more searching I guess but I'm sure it would be fine.

what turbo are you going with? also what is your cr? if I may ask.

i`m planning on doing a ka24de build also with a gt3076 turbo. i`m looking at Wiseco pistons at 90mm, 9-1 compression and Manley H beam rods. according to the seller, Real Street Performance, this combination can handle up to 700hp. my goal is about 450-500 whp. i don`t like eagle rods because i seen a few of them fail. and i had no failure yet on the Manley rods. i also plan on going e85. i had Wiseco pistons on my last 7MGTE that made more than 500WHP with no problems on the pistons. if you can spend a little bit more, go for a different brand rods.

Im going e85 as well, and for the price i would spend on cp pistons 9:1 CR and eagle h beams i could get wiseco 10.5:1 which i kind of want to do higher compression and manly h beam rods for 819 from RSP

I have super techs in my build and they've been running great 15psi daily. Martin (Rs Enthalpy) has taken them along with eagles over 600 and said nothing but good things about them.
