So are you looking for stock parts, or upgraded/forged parts?

stock rods and crank, forged pistons with rings, not sure what head gasket, and the best bearings i can find, im about to buy a t28 bb s15 turbo and i have a nice oil cooler, but i have low compression on my #3 and its letting gas mix with my oil and therefore thinning my oil and now my turbo seals are going so i dont wanna install any of this till i fix my problem.

The forged pistons and rings can be had here http://www.raceeng.com They should have em in stock.

I think most people buy their bearings just at a parts store, or theres a set of ACL's on ebay right now. You can buy the Cometic HG through Cometic themselves. Head studs...I believe one of our sponsors, Hybrid Performance, is having a special in ARP studs for ca's, sr's, etc. Check the advertisor specials.

I'm not really sure about stock rods, I would think shotpeening the ones you already have would be cheaper and better.

How low is the compression on your #3 cylinder? First of all, something is causing your engine to run so rich that you have raw gas rinsing down your xylinder walls and wearing out your pistons, rings and other parts that are part of the internal rotating assembly. If you don't solve your problem, you will only damage any other component you put in there. That much rinse-down could be a bad ecu, bad injectors, major vacuum leaks, and coupled with a heavy foot, usually is the recipe for a worn-out engine.

My sentiments exactly. If you're getting enough fuel into the motor to mix with the oil, you've got something seriously wrong. It takes a pretty decent amount of fuel to do that, regardless of the condition of your rings. Are you running any sort of piggyback?

my ECU appears stock and was sold to me with my motor set as stock, nothing is wired into it.you might be right about my ecu though, my old motor did the same thing and then i spun a bearing. oh and come to think of it my ecu was getting real warm almost too hot to hold, i opened it up and it was slightly corroded.could this also be a bad wiring harness job?(if so maybe ill have import intelligence matt make me a new one)damn....anyone got a ECU for sale?

I have a Tomei ECU. Its setup for 440 injectors and Z32 maf. If that will work for you let me know we can work out a price. I paid $225 for it my last trip overseas. It doesnt work with my setup SO it just sits.

yea, if the ECU is getting that hot you've DEFINATLY got a problem. That old 8 bit ECU shouldn't be generating nearly that much heat.
