After my original 2.0L turbo blew a head gasket, I planned to just slap a head gasket in and be on my way, but further investigation revealed many problems with the old 2.0; glazed cylinder walls, failing rod bearings, detonation damaged pistons, and loose wrist pins. It had a hard life. So, now I'm aiming for a full rebuild. Plan B was to slap a set of 89.5mm flat top Mahle's in and just do a stock rebuild. But, I also happen to have this "s14" knife edged crank:
I couldn't find a set of used stock s14 rods, new OEM rods and aftermarket rods are around $1k, and I don't want to pay $600-$700 for a set of custom forged pistons. A "standard" custom m10 forged bottom end for a 2.2L would cost over $1700 just for rods and pistons which is way out of the budget, so using the S14 crank was out until I stumbled on another way (thanks to HSVturbo)
