Engine connecting rod change with stock pistons?

[ast]

Hi all,

 

I have heard that in Greece some have only changed the forged rods to the 4G15T engine keeping the stock pistons?

 

I would like to learn more about this. Did you use special order rods for press-fit pin or machined grooves to stock pistons for piston pin retainers? Is there enough room in the stock piston or do you have to use shorter piston pin? Are the stock pistons ok for 300 hp and 400 Nm?

Hi there!

 

As far as i know, noone has done it! Whoever changes the engine internals goes for the pistons too!
