Vitara Sidekick pistons
 

Does anyone know if the sidekick and the vitara pistons are the same? The sidekick has 95 horse and its a 1.6 and the vitara has 97 horse and its a 1.6. I know this doesnt mean anything but I thought maybe they were the same. Cheap sidekick pistons are all over the place, vitara pistons are hard to find.

fjt on honda-tech will sell you a set of vitaras with rings, wristpins, and locks for $138 overnight

Re: Vitara Sidekick pistons
 

how much can the vitaras handle. i didnt think they were forged.

Re: Vitara Sidekick pistons
 

some people are pushing them to 22psi. but thats tuned well.

Re: Vitara Sidekick pistons
 

I've heard of people pushing more.

I rode in a car with a z6 with vitaras/eagle rods (iirc) running 15 psi on a 16g-ish turbo... ran nice :)

Re: Vitara Sidekick pistons
 

they're not. they are cast. but they love the boost.

Re: Vitara Sidekick pistons
 

Im running them @ 15psi on a t3 .60/.63 on a milled A6 and they take it better than my girlfriend lol

I went through a set of rings extremely fast though, starting to burn some oil

Great pistons for the pirce, I'll be grbbing another set when these toast themselves

check my sig...

ive seen 2 setups on honda-tech that are over 300whp. Both at 20-27psi. Your goddamn right they love boost. The best thing about them is that their cheap as ----. If i ---- a ringland, i have a spare block in my shed and a set of vitaras on my doorstep the next day for $120. Then ill have three spares ;D Still hasnt happened yet though

323whp @ 17-18psi
