Vitara Info??
 

stock rings or aftermarket. Any other good info you can make about d16y8 in vitaras pls.

Re: Vitara Info??
 

dont waste your time with the vitaras.. this is coming from someone who has them. Spend the extra money now and build your engine with a good set of forged pistons that will give you the correct piston to wall clearances. Oh, and dont use your y8 head.

Re: Vitara Info??
 

what about vitaras in a jdm d15b??

I have heard thats the only piston for FI setups on my motor?!?!?

Re: Vitara Info??
 

d16 only I believe. your d15b will hold up to 11psi with a 14b no problem. Decent tune though.

Re: Vitara Info??
 

vitara setup ftw....trust me for the price its worth it! the very first time i took it to the track i did a 13.4 on bfgs!

Re: Vitara Info??
 

Whoa 13.4 is fast!

Re: Vitara Info??
 

what about civic making around 400hp with vitara pistons?

Re: Vitara Info??
 

still runs great with over 12,000 miles on the build.
and btw fast2camciv used the hasting rings with the settup.
d-series parts are throw away parts that are cheap as hell which is why the vitaras compliment a budget build.
clearances are a bit sloppy, but i could give a ----.
if sloppiness bothers you can always get oversized ones and get the cylinders bored and honed accordingly.
forged pistons abviously are a 1st choice for most people.

Re: Vitara Info??
 

that's your car?..

i think if you have a cheap and good choice for your setup..go for it! no go directly for the expensivest ----..

Re: Vitara Info??
 

350-450 for forged pistons is hardly expensive. If you cant afford that you shouldnt be building a car

Re: Vitara Info??
 

wow...one... ::)

Re: Vitara Info??
 

no kidding. People have been making 400+ whp on the D for over 10 years its nothing that is new


hell most of the first 10 sec hondas were on turbo d's and guess what small turbo's and log or cast manifolds

Re: Vitara Info??
 

drunkinmaster that avatar makes me crack up... I can't help it!

Re: Vitara Info??
 

If you buy your slugs from fjt a set of hastings rings will be included.

Re: Vitara Info??
 

I pmed that guy a few weeks ago but we was out of them. Plus the money was burning a hole in my pocket so I got them elsewhere. Everyone says hes the go to guy for vitaras.

Re: Vitara Info??
 

why not buy 75.5 mm Vitaras, have the block properly bored, no more clearance issues.

Re: Vitara Info??
 

Because people are scared to spend the $150 to do it the right way and they think .5mm will make their sleeves fall apart.

Re: Vitara Info??
 

you shouldnt be asking questions that were answered in 1997

Re: Vitara Info??
 

who?

Re: Vitara Info??
 

the person that ask the orignal question loose butt

Re: Vitara Info??
 

cast pistons are cast pistons


Im sorry I dont like doing motor swaps and pulling pistons heads off for fun



Do d series blocks actually hold 400 whp on stock sleeves everytime hell no simple has that.A couple vitara set ups make it on god really knows what kind of dyno's who gives a ---- chasing #'s on dyno's is a waste of time


stock sleeves crack thats part of turbo cars. Do cast pistons break ringlands easy yes


spend another couple hundred bucks god forbid you want a piston that can take ass tuning and pinging like a botch and keep taking it


---- through an fmu on some forged psitons and go have fun
