Engine Pistons

Pistons

I've found a guy who can make me some pistons but he needs specifics as to what i need...........I really dont know anything about pistons but I have a turbo setup so I would appreciate it if somebody would give me some advice as to what specific pistons I should get made.....and the guy who makes the pistons is pretty good at his trade since he's made custom pistons for my friends honda hatchback and it runs 9's with the help of NOS......so I'm pretty sure he's reliable....well any input is appreciated.

you could go with a heavier design, but not hollow, a heavier weight will get you better low end. the ones i had were forged but i paid a very, very pretty penny for them. anything that has a better oiling system i.e. oil ring, and will not cause detionation is good, also internal dome types are not good for cars like ours, a convex shape with a lower lining is good too.

Why have him make them custom when you can buy them already made?

Weisco is the next feasible option i would take over ARIAS.

well I'm thinking i can get them for a cheaper price since it is my managers friend making them......and i can't find the listing on the site for the pistons.

They list them with the performance rebuild kits, but I'm sure you could get them seperately.

well if if somebody could send me complete specifics of the wiseco pistons I would be able to check how much it would cost me to get them done.

JE makes custom pistons as well.

MWR is expensive as all hell. IMO, JE Pistons are good but i've heard they work for Honda's best is this true?

oh really?...well the guys from IPP quoted me $459 with pins...takes about 3 weeks to ship out.

if MWR carried ARIAS that would be great. i paid 730 for mine, just for the pistons alone (thank god i still have them) but even then i'd rather buy from a very well established manufacture, no that MWR is bad but its what i prefer.

I heard detroit had the best pistons..


..i couldn't resist..i'm sorry..*runs away*

MWR sells there own piston/sleeve kit for $879 and they also sell Wiseco pistons for $499

mine were just for the pistons alone and the rings no other parts.

WTF dude i am tired of this BS if you have smoething to say. PM it!

ill just post it here.... what you said to this guy is a load of shit.

hes baaaaack

if that was a load of shit then the guy who sold mine to me told me a load of shit as well. This was information that was told to me at the time of the purchase.

then....
#1. you probably got ripped
#2. its about time you did some research or piston design and the benefits of reducing rotating mass
#3. he did feed you a load of shit, and you overpaid too

no hard feelings man, its just that you throw your 2cents around here in every thread, and its typically misinformation.

damn...guys lets keep it cool.....b4 i get gangsta on both of ya...LOL...... ..
