what conrods fit these piston in a zetec block??

[GrahamRS]

you use the zteec rods, but they have to be modified..

[FRSJON]

none,need to have the little end bored to 21mm,been trying to get some steel ones for my mates s2 ,but none fit the calibra pistons either

[SEG1]

how much it is the bore the small end??

[FRSJON]

in performance ford it says ian howell will do it for £90

[jonesy_rst]

why not just but the accralite forged pistons specifically for zvh and zetec turbo conversions. wouldnt that be easier???

[SEG1]

are these pistons forged as standard??

[FRSJON]

yes,forged as standard...get a burton power catalogue

[Jonezy]

why not just but the accralite forged pistons specifically for zvh and zetec turbo conversions. wouldnt that be easier???

£££££££££ £600+ for pistons like your talkin about


calibra ones are bout £100 max and the £90 to modift so that the gudgeon pins fit in.

the actual zetec block will also need boring out to 2045cc to fit LET pistons too.

run about 230bhp easily

[SEG1]

yeah i got a set for under 100 yesterday.
and im buying zetec steel rods.
what needs to be modified the piston or rod?
im also getting the block bored soon.

[adam_frst]

the rod needs to be modified, if you read above the little end (the end that attches to the piston via a pin also know as a gudjeon pin) needs to be bored out to 21mm, one question though how big is the little end in the first place? wont this weaken the rods? also wheres the best place to get some calbra pistons from im intrested in getting a set now

[SEG1]

the rods am using are 19.9mm at the small end.
i got mine of ebay £88!lol

check at breakers and ebay.

[FRSJON]

cool, when you get it done post it up so i can see how much and where...mate of mine needs it done

[White2i]

never like it when people talk about modifying rods, they were built and strength tested and made to work as they are , by adding and taking metal away your changing the molecular structure of the rods there for anything could happen they could be fine or ok.

this may just be me but why do people always try and build zvh and zt's on a budget, if you are going to build an engine isnt the best way to build it as strong as you can with components you are 100% sure of?

[jayrs]

cool, when you get it done post it up so i can see how much and where...mate of mine needs it done

[SEG1]

there in the post now the guy i bought them off .is a longting!!

[Rhinopower]

those are XE pistons, not LET, so will give a ZT c/r of about 9:1

[SEG1]

so i can still use them??

[Rhinopower]

yes with a decompression plate from ferriday engineering

[SEG1]

ok will they up for sale!lol i want some c20let ones.
