thats what i thought!

but seriously do you think those hold up to 300hp?

Re:saw this piston set up for sale on ebay..
 

As easily as your stock cast pistons

Re:saw this piston set up for sale on ebay..
 

No way these are way better than stock ones! ;)

THESE PISTONS CAN HOLD UP TO 300 HP IN A PROPERLEY TUNED ENGINE DUE TO THE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN METALURAGY

haha metaluragy ;D

ebay never ceases to amaze me!

Re:saw this piston set up for sale on ebay..
 

i figure i would run this by the HMT gods before making any sort of decision....Vitara pistons it is!!!

Re:saw this piston set up for sale on ebay..
 

vitara pistons are cast also

Re:saw this piston set up for sale on ebay..
 

Thats what i thought ::)

Re:saw this piston set up for sale on ebay..
 

Well ---- me running. :o Everything I ever read on them said they were forged, but after spending the past 30 minutes searching for the truth, the only Suzuki to use factory forged pistons is the bikes, not the cars. :-X Looks like my Z6 build up will cost me a bit more than I thought. :'(

Did you really think you could get a set of forged pistons for 125 shipped? lol, I remember seeing that guys thread on honda-tech awhile back and I ended up doing some research on all the suzuki boards and everyone kept thinking they were forged but they are not.

Re:saw this piston set up for sale on ebay..
 

Well that makes them not so special. :-\ I read so many threads about them being forged and ----. >:( God damn it.

Your thinking of the supra pistons ;)

turbopanda on honda-tech was doing a B16rod/Supra forged piston combo for D-series awhile back.

Re:saw this piston set up for sale on ebay..
 

but how much of a price diff is there between buying some new supra pistons and some forged ones?

Re:saw this piston set up for sale on ebay..
 

I remember that, but I also remember readng all kinds of hype on the vitara pistons being forged. :-\

Can't remember I thought dude was selling rods/pistons for like 450 or something?

thats pretty decent considering just a set of forged pistons alone are around 475.

Re:saw this piston set up for sale on ebay..
 

Why don't you guys just buy my shortblock/longblock when I take it out of the car? It's already built, put together right, and broken in. ;) Probably $1500 should cover the whole mufuka.

Re:saw this piston set up for sale on ebay..
 

Jeff, remember that little "problem" that has allowed you to be on so much? I'll trade you gossip posts. Mine's better. :D
