all i need to know is, where can i find someone who makes or sells 4 forged rods for the leganza?, how much will it cost to change out my rods?, if i get forged rods can i hold 15 psi?, im getting a T3 Hybrid, Delta Wastegate, BOV, S-AFC, blitz v-spec intercooler, gauges, fuel pump, fuel injectors, also do i need to get somekind of newer performance rod bearings?, or will my new rods hold up to 20 psi and nothing will give?

You don't need forged rods. If you make the setting correct and the engine don't get dry you can use yiu oem rods.

so if rods arnt the only thing that can fail at 15psi, wut else will fail in the Leganza engine that i need to change so that it doesnt fail?

Any car can be made turbo w\ the stock parts. Just need a good setting.

Have to change some part like the injectors and other stuff.

300!?! thats alot ....

300hp is alot of power! As said before that will take alot of money and down time. Just be sure you have a second form of transportation in case anything goes wrong...or anything takes too long in the shop. Speaking of which; Are you planning on doing this yourself with a couple of friends or taking it to a tuning or mechanic's shop?

would you be able to fit rods and pistons from an SR20? If they fit im sure that you could find the nissan forgies easier than GM ones

SR20DET piston/rod combo is the wrong length.

The more likely choice is the ECOTEC pistons/rods as they are nearly identical and can be found all over the place.

Some custom machining by the rod manufacturer would be required but it's no big deal.

I have a set of factory ECOTEC pistons/rods I got off a guy who had dead engine ( water got inside and destroyed pistons/rods on all but one cylinder)

360Dynamics also has access to some reasonably priced forged pistons and hypereuretic alloy pistons..... he's going to slap some 8.6:1 pistons in his Nubira T20SED engine once the turbo kits arrive.
