R50/53 Will r50 pistons fit r53 rods ?
Will r50 pistons fit r53 rods ?
IM not running the supercharger in this hypothetical situation.
Just need to know if anyone knows if the pistons will fit the rods.
The crankshaft and rods seem stronger on the r53 so im thinking bout using them but with r50 pistons . . .

makes sense since the boost would require a stronger pin for the piston. but if you had r53 pistons, should be all set, or when ordering new pistons, you could just request forged pistons with that pin size
In this hypothetical question will you be running boost of any form? Turbo/supercharger.
If you stay NA you will need to make sure to order or use proper pistons to keep your compression ratio of 10:1, R53 pistons will change your ratio to 8.5:1.
