i like wiseco but i've heard there only good for up to 500 bhp and the Je are rated over that.

what power and what size are you going for?

At the moment i have no power goals, i just had a bottom end failure so im rebuilding and figure i may as well forge it. I suppose in the future id be happy at around the 400 mark, but im gonna have to save for turbo and ecu etc.

cheaper the better as there all on the lower side of the scale, personally go for wiesco because spares can be bought cheaply over here and they have a high silicone content so tend to swell less thus the bore can be slightly tighter
