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.
