Please tell me what can i do in my example. THANKS

First off, like what JDM stated above, do NOT use aftermarket pistons on stock rods. That is just non-sense. D-series rods are very skinny. It is pointless to upgrade the pistons and leave the rods stock. Which is the very reason why the aftermarket pistons are not fitting on the stock rods. I suggest that you call the place you bought the pistons from and ask to get the aftermarket rods that will fit to those pistons.

Why did you get such a low compression pistons? I think that you should've stayed around 9.1-9.5:1 compression. If you were trying to make torque to compromise your choice of those low compression pistons, then you are sadly mistaken. The stroke on D-series motors are long, which will already give you the torque that you might be wanting.

Not trying to flame you man. Just stating some of your options and solutions. Goodluck with the project and keep us posted bro.

Thanks for quick responds
Pistons will fit but now rods is the problem i write to my seller about the problem. He will say something may be tommorow.
Thermal how much HP can i expect with these things:
Pistons to 8,8:1 or 8,5with low gasket ( i know it is stupid low compr. but i will put more pressure around 1.0- 1,5 bar ) with Eagle rods, turbo is t3 42.48 and 440cc injectors. may be 200?? or more ...
P.S I want around 250 whp
