hmmm your right, i looked it up myself as well, 140mm.....why would they make forged rods that are shorter? maybe assuming your going to deck the head? or use high comp pistions to compensate for the shorter rods?

because turbogoods sells some special pistons for those rods that have higher compression height, wich is good for turbo... so you'll end exactly with toyosupr setup (aka Alex Neumann) wich was making some serious power:D
search for it on bimmerforums, he has his thread!

well they emailed me back about the pistons, but im just wondering how much bigger they have to be to compensate for the shorter rods, and with a .060 MLS headgasket

i figured since today is my day off, and its so nice outside, that i would take some time to clean the engin bay, since it have the room with the motor out.

pulled out the condensor, AC lines, and whatever the AC collector or whatever it is on the passenger side along the fender. alot more room for a FMIC now

from

to

just an hours worth of work, and three cans of gunk, engine brite. plenty more cleaning ahead, just a little bit done today

BUT DISCLAIMER: I don't want any responsability...I'm not a engineer, never tried 4g63t pistons on engine, only christmas holidays fantacalculations and they maybe wrong... but if it works it would sign a new era.
