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.

Forged rods & pistons will only help reliability because they are stronger than OEM parts and can take some extra abuse before they break.

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
