    Yea I've been looking into rods but I'm not sure if I want to go with the fjr custom length I-beams or with a stock length rod with the vitaras.

    Compression with this kit on the D16Y8 engine will be approx. 8.74:1
    Using Std. Length Rods (137mm) will drop the Compression Ratio 1 full point.
    It's 569 for the kit above with the rods and I think it comes with arp rod bolts too

    I read it's a pretty noticeable difference in power out of boost with the standard rods. Also kinda skeptical about the whole viatara's having piston slap because their 75mm pistons are actually 2.9475" so around 0.0045" undersized. The service limit for a D-series is 2.9517"
    This is my first build so guidance, comments, criticism are all welcomed...

    Being that tuner toys went out of business... (i just found out) While your block is at the machine shop have it notched for H- beams and get some Eagle H-beam rods.
