Re: Time to build, need help
Those vitaras are cast, so for your 26th engine buy something better.
If you want reliable 300-400hp, then go with forged pistons.
I have vitaras for my next motor (#25), but are not looking for those numbers.
I have the rods for #26 and will get forged pistons then.

Re: Time to build, need help

no they are not forged. but they have a differant heating process that makes them more durable.
and yes people have ran them over 300 safely. evosol has about 325 on his.
you can get that settup from fjt on hondatech for 135 to your door.

fjt offers them complete (locking clips/piston pins) and hastings piston rings. nice guy and best deal. pistons are coated also unlike the stock suzuki vitaras.
on ebay there is another guy that charges a little more but only includes npr rings.
