interesting......I would have thought 6psi was bugger all for these engines? I thought the M104 shared same conrods as the M103? If so, they are far far from weak

I know I am turbocharging & not SC & sorry if I'm hyjacking the thread a little but statements like this strike a cord, especially on this part of the forum. I know I'll be running 1 bar boost once engine has been allowed a few K on say 0.5 bar as it has been sitting for nearly 2 years.......& I know I'll be running a stand alone with injection. Stock CIS-E will definitely need capable hands @ the tune as Ed has attested to so many times.

When I looked at the rods in the original M103 engine that had forged pistons in, the stock rods looked quite strong!
