Forged V6 internals

[DAVECS1]

I would like to build an engine at some point. As I know how to turn it up. Just need to find a good deal.

Maybe I'm the outsider in this segment, as I didn't read the whole thread.

But, Why? Seriously. Respectfully. Teach me.

The 3.6 is a good N/A motor. If you want to go ape-sh*t then put in a V8 Hemi or Chevy LS1.
Or buy a Ford EcoBoom.

I have 6500 dollars into a supercharger that looks like factory and has factory reliability. All my factory systems work as intended, and no cutting splicong or welding had to be done to my truck. The stock trans seems to be holding up great. I am generating V8 power numbers. Even if I build an forged 3.6L engine I will still be 20K ahead for the same power levels.

The cost to upgrade internals is much lower than even buying a decent V8 crate engine. You can push a v6 well into hellcat territory without all the labor. I have personal experience pushing v6 motors into the 4 digits repeatably. For me this is nothing new and obviously overlooked in the market. Hence, why I am working to help provide an option for those who want the power but don't want to drop $35k+ to get it.

Got it, Thank You!

Pistons came in today! Direct factory replacement forged pistons. Will have retail pricing and availability (lead times soon). Rods are still in the works!

Pin wall difference is huge! Tool steel and dlc coated!

 

[DAVECS1]

Any idea the weight difference?

 

[Phlegmon]

Those look great! What compression ratios will be available?

 

[bullitt5897]

For those asking about weight here are the weight differences:

We are talking an increase in about 16g

Another update!

Rods should be here by Friday! Woot woot! Super excited!

Ballpark price?

Ballpark price?

Under $2500 is what I am shooting for as a complete package.

 

[bullitt5897]

Got the rods in just now!

They weigh 635g

Now to put them in a motor!

Very interested in overall outcome, and also what else, specifically, you do to ramp up power output once you have these internals..
