rings for turbo
 

i recently got a good deal on a set of je std bore pistons for my gsr they came new in the box with everything except for the rings.I could order the je rings but i was wondering if the oem would holdup just as well? is there any difference in the material/desighn of these rings?

OEM Honda rings are just fine for a turbo application

Re: rings for turbo
 

are the je or anyother aftermarket rings any different or hold up better? or are they all pretty much the same?

Re: rings for turbo
 

----.. get OEM rings.. im sure your goal is less than 300-350WHP (thought ive seen jeff from evans made more than 400 whp on stock gsr >:D)..

eh?

Re: rings for turbo
 

after rebuildid ideally like to make around 350-400 whp

Re: rings for turbo
 

just make sure stock sized rings fit

Re: rings for turbo
 

the oem rings are enought for that power on ur gsr engine :y

just get tune it very good :D

What about the egay Hastings moly chrome rings? What about the Nippon shits? My weisco .5 over pistons came with no rings and I'm debating spending the $200 on the Total Seal Piston Rings. I only want to build the block once.

Who would spend $200 on rings :-X Weiscos with rings are $405 from no limit motorsports. Id call them and give them the part # for ur pistons and get the right rings for them probably like $70ish

True, the were recommend by a old-school toyota guy. Has them in his 1.8 for years with no problems and zero psi drop.

wouldnt forged piston rings be dif from oem rings? im sure they make specific rings for those pistons, id call the maker and ask them.

Re: rings for turbo
 

Yea some forged are different thickness and such. Definetly call the forged piston manufacturer and get the specs on the rings that fit before slapping just anything on there.

I called Endyne, they want $145 for a set of rings plus shipping :o. For that I can toss in a bit more and get the Total Seal rings. I'm pretty sure that Weisco makes their pistons, maybe I can use some weicos if they are cheaper.

Re: rings for turbo
 

im sure larry mentioned how he dislikes the total seal rings for boost...

Re: rings for turbo
 

endyn here.... weisco makes their piston frgings for them... but they are NOT the same as weiscos... thy use a different alloy. i got pistons and ins for 60 shpped... ot sure how much the rings were ot pistons, rings, wristpins and locks...) JR hooked me up through Josh @ Endyn

anybody got a inside/associated guy that could hook a fellow hmt member up on lower the price a bit?
