which internals
Right would like a bit of advice my ej22t is at the machine shop being checked over and it's now time for me to start buying some internals do I go 2.5 nitride or billet crank what rods and pistons do people recommend. Or buy a kit like lateral produce. I'm running a lateral 2.1 atm been great for years running 500bhp but want to build a 2.35 running about 600bhp any advice would be much appreciated.

Got ya mate it's just there so many options now can mix and match parts or but a complete kit. Also we sort of built my 2.1 engine bought it as a complete short motor from lateral run it for about 5000 miles then for some reason I got all paranoid about it only having 11mm head studs so took it all apart so my mate could do a 14mm head stud conversion then we rebuilt it with new bearings and rings done 19000 faultless miles since paranoia does mad things to people lol

at the min its gonna be in the low 300's, its in a v5 type R but still on the 5 speed box so keeping power way down rather than shat itself lol. Engine has been speced for 550bhp though

[QUOTE=Tidgy;11778271]mine must be special ones then cos they arn't noisey, nor in my old built 2.5 either.
My forged 2.5 hawk had these and was built by finch Motorsport who are one of the best engine builders around, and it was noisey as ****, piston slap was very noticeable until engine was right upto temp and even then u could still here them sounded like an escort diesel unless u had the temp up to 90c +.

[QUOTE=Tidgy;11779011]The receipt for the build says they are genuine Mahle forged Pistons so I'm hoping they were lol. Not sure on if they were 4032 or 2618 grade. All I know is they sounded like Michael flately was under the bonnet
