When you're broke building a motor you have to save money somewhere. I have a Y7 I am building (full story and pics in a couple days). After getting a fresh rebuild on all seals, gaskets, bearings, studs and bolts, not to mention a badly needed clutch it leaves little money left for forged internals. I go to college, I don't have a job here at school, I have class 10 hours a day. We'll see what happens but, I will probably end up running these pistons, I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

Re:Suzuki Vitara pistons
Bought some, Rings and pistons for about the cost of one forged piston. Floating wrist pin style, I guess I bought into the hype, but I'll find out if it's hype or not. Here are some pics.
That last pic says:
The advantages of teflon coating
-highly resistant to heat
-Increased strength
-smoother running
-improve piston life
-reduce friction
-essentially eliminate scuffing and wear
-improve cylinder sealing
-Helps lubrication especially during start-up

Re:Suzuki Vitara pistons
Well, this should prove it for me. I know you'll put them to the test proper like. 
The thing that sways me is that I've seen people running large amounts of boost on stock internals. I've even ran large amounts of boost on stock internals. If those pistons last 6 months worth of harcore boosted *** beatings, then maybe they are made of cryptonium and maybe they are special.
