vitara pistons

i came across an interesting build and thought i would share with you all...

Suzuki Vitara pistons... i guess mate up to stock d series rods or eagles and are able to take the abuse of 15psi... but the CR seems kinda low...8.5

stock d-series ---- can take 15 psi...its really not worth the work to put in other non-forged ---- imo

Re:vitara pistons

I would be worried about the rods before the pistons but people do that swap just to lower the compression and the pistons are dirt cheap.

The grand vitara's are forged pistons, mate these up with a set of 300 dollar Eagle rods and your good to go.. Budget build

Stock d's might take it, but might not, you never know. With this cheap build you know it'll be fine, you don't have to wish it will hold.

Re:vitara pistons

But there was just one guy saying they weren't and the dealer said they were, who will you believe? I would call the dealer or do some more research.
