Race Engineering xt pistons
 
Besides endyn race engineering are the only other company that i have seen that makes forged pisons for ZCs. Does anyone have these or have heard things about them. They look pretty generic but they are forged. I dont have the money to buy the endyns and i dont know about these race engineering pistons. Does anyone have these race engineering pistons?

Just get vitara pistons if u have the std bore

its the new thing now, cheap and effective

get the Race engineering pistons...you'll be happier on the long run.
They're Wiseco or JE pistons so they should be of good quality.
Forged pistons or factory cast pistons...hmmm difficult choice...Even my honda stock pistons took 15 psi for a few month's.

I thought the vitara pistons were forged...

They are not forged :P
I have to friends that are deep into suzuki...they have swift gti's and they research on it.
And if you look at the pic's of the Vitara piston posted on HT you can se that they are cast

i was on a suzuki site last week and the guys were saying they were forged. also they were running 20+psi on them

you can run 20 psi on them, but they are not forged...if you look at the pistons itself they are really not forged they have a cast finish on the side to.
I think it's the ringland thickness on them that they hold that much boost, cause most piston failure is ringland braking when hitting high boost

they are not forged, and i have a guy locally that can get them oversized with rings.
