    hello guys I’m new to the forum. I just purchased a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 with a lot of after market parts....pauter rods, CP pistons, front mount inter cooler, holset turbo, custom wastegate, hks blowoff valve, alcohol injection, tuning done by Cobb Performance. Purchased for a good deal, pretty cheap actually. The bad part of the deal was the engine was bad. Engine ran, just knocked. Broke it down and seen that one rod bearing spun and one disintegrated. So now I have some questions. I’m not to educated on Mazda’s. I have to replace one rod and I’m going to replace it with the same brand (pauter) have to replace all the pistons and was wondering if there’s any that you guys recommend (brand wise)
    The really bad part is I went to take my engine to the machine shop and found out that my crank is bad so I’m in need of a crank or a rebuildable engine block. Does anyone here know if the N/A turbo crank will work w/ the turbo engine? Any advise will be appreciated

    Non turbo crank will not work, I’ve heard the focus ST crank may work.

    There are used cranks all over the place under $500.
