Holy ----! 
Those pistons are tore the ---- up! He must have been spitting chunks of piston out of the exhaust!
Damn, let this be a lesson to all of you out there running "the hack". 17psi is NOT safe.
FYI, there is a set of SRP(I believe).10 over on Egay right now for around $150. Just thought I would mention it.

it`s not about the piston, ppl make way more horse than 250 without any problem..
it will be fine as long as it is tuned correctly.

Re:Built d16y8 = 4 melted ------- pistons *Pictures*
looks like they all melted at the exact same place, size are the same too..
which makes them the TRUE low compression piston. :P
and if compression are the same across all 4, idle is un-effected.
seriously...i will TRY to reuse them on a low baller project.

Crazy.....Well I have 2 major options
1) Flat rate the hell out of this motor and put it into my car.
2) Put a d15b2 into my car w/ mpfi and run that w/ a little gay *** turbo on it until i finish the d16y8 build
If I go w/ option #1 I have a whole d15 setup that I can put into my car for almost nothing.
My hp goals are none less than 300whp on this motor. I guess it is time to just put it on the ------- engine stand and rebuild it.
