AH, D-Series Honda Pistons can hold 300+ hp. Just that like Viartas, they will only last for the one 300+ pull!

Rumor is the guys from PR are/have run 300 on these. I haven't heard of anyone in the states that has though.

They're stronger than stock so that it for what it's worth I guess.

There is/was a Swift GTi in PR running over 400 whp on Vitara pistons.
They were in some car magazines....the magazines were from PR though....
It was running lo 10's on the 1/4 mile like that with 24.5" slicks.
That was a few years ago.

For just over 100bucks... they are pretty good bang for the buck though. They lower the compression, have thicker ringlands and are of a harder AL casting process.

If you have the money... go forged of course .
