Best Pistons for me to use?
 

I am going to be turboing my car and I am buying the pistons soon and I have to determine which ones are the best for me.... I have a d16y7 and I want to get 230-250whp with a t3 .60/.48... I will run however many psi it takes to get these numbers up to 15 pounds

should I get the regular compression or low compression pistons???

x2, and crank the boost to 20 minimum >:D

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

what exactly do they mean by notching of the block... it says I need to do this in order to use these pistons

and these are running at regular compression?

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

if you are asking this then i'm sure a machine shop is installing them. the machine shop will know what it means

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

well I am probably not installing them... but I would still like to know what it means

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

do you know what a notch is?
do you know what a block is?
if the answer is no to either of those questions, google the word.
to notch a block means to notch a block.

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

Its so the aftermarket rods dont contact the block.

3rd pic down shows how to do it.

I know what both of the words mean... what I was wondering was where and how big...

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

understood

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

the link i posted shows you what do do :S

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

if you can't install a piston into a block i seriously doubt your ability to maintain a turbo honda

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

seriously, look at widebody

(before you start crying jeremy, that was a joke)

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

well I just am gonna try and build it right the first time and learn the rest while I go... I have a few friends who are licensed mechanics who can help me and I have to learn the rest as I go

you have to start somewhere.... and here I am... but thanks for the confidence ::)

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

One of the best deals ATM is the FJT combo with the longer D16 rods and the Vitara pistons (75.5mm). You get a better R/S ratio, pistons that can take >400whp, AND greater than 8:1 compression. My buddy made 250whp with that turbo on a B16 at 9psi, but with an open downpipe & .63ar turbine housing. A higher CR D16 will easily make 250whp with 15-18psi, which is about the safe limit for 91 octane on a 9:1 block.

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

Should I be able to increase my rev-limiter safely then due to the better r/s ratio?
Until what RPM usually?

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

9k :6 :6 :6 :8

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

lol... some how I don't think the cylinder walls and rings would like 9k in a d-series... even if it did have a better r/s ratio

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

they aren't the problem with redlining, rolling efficiency and unbalanced mass is.

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

so are you able to increase redline at all then... like 7500?

Re: Best Pistons for me to use?
 

if you can't redline your D to past 7k you have a problem
