#319180 i am workin on a 85mm b20vtec for my coupe. I already have eagle rods and im thinkin about 11.5:1 supertech pistons. the car will be dyno tuned and on a 75 shot. also it is my daily so it will get drivin. i dont plan on sprayin the car much just on weekend track days. but i was wondering if havin the eagle rods and forged pistons would cause any reliability problems.

#319201 from my point of view the only thing that causes unreliability with a built motor is when the builder cuts corners to save money/time

thats what i figured but i wanted other opinions. there deffiniately will be no cut corners in this build.
