Re:new set up for the civic
i've never heard anything about him except for that he is down the road from some of the guys in so cal. as far as those pistons, i didn't get a description on the page, just pic, but they look like stock pistons to me, a very good price though regardless

Re:new set up for the civic
Ya those pistons are the same bore as your y7 and will go right in no problem, just need the press off the old pistons and put them on. However... LOL, PM7 (ZC pistons) are domed and when put in a D16y7 block or even a y8 you will yield a 13.7 c/r. Meaning.. Hello!? Big time high compression, your going backwards, you generally want a c/r of 9.0~10.0 when turboing a honda. Hell if you put that engine together without a turbo you would have to run race gas in it to even have it run.
btw, those pistons are really cheap and you really want to go with some forged pistons like CP,JE,Wiseco,Endyn etc, Not stock cast pistons.
Oh and Kyle yes the greddy kit can put down 200whp with a intercooler and stop trying to give kevin a hard time before I own you.

Re:new set up for the civic
Me personally I run factory bearings in most of the motors I "CARE" about. I'm not saying those bearings are bad or anything but, they are a "STANDARD" size, and hondas dont have a "standard" size, there is about 26 different combinations you can use for factory bearings on the bottom end. I'm also not saying I havent used standard bearings on a few engines, I actually have and they worked out fine.
