thats hella funny b/c i keep seeing that too... and its my original post.

 

Hello guys..newbie here.

There are many controversies about them being forged or not..So, someone at Honda Tech im'ed me saying that he works at a Suzuki dealer and he asked the techs and they said that indeed they are forged. Forged or not they can handle good 15-20 PSIs of boost.

I am currently using them on my ride only that i am not boosted yet and to be hones they feel good and the car pulls better that what i thought.

I have some friends in my country that uses them for their turbo D series and they have had great results..

I have a friend that runs 12's sec with thm on a Y7 coupe so HELL!!! Forged or not they do provide great results. 12 second runs on a 100% full interior car on a non vtec car are good any day.

The piston comes with a floating pin style and any D series or any aftermarket rod for the D series will fit in there without any modification.The reason for the lower compresion ratios is due that the piston is slightly shorter than the Honda OEM ones.With a larger rod i believe this can be raised.

My car compresion test was 150PSI per cilynder with the cam retarded 3 degrees.With the sprocker at 0 it might me around 160-165PSI per cilinder.

 

hummmm.....dam I wish I had a few extra dollars to build a new bottom end. I would for sure buy these pistons. So...its vatara pistons, and honda 75mm rings...

 

Thats correct..Vitara pistons and Honda OEM 75mm pistons rings.
I am using Hastings rings.They sealed neatly and perfectly on specs. Theyre Chromoly rings and can hold good amounts of boost too.

 

i bought them, and got them in the mail with hastiongs rings for $110 shipped from the honda tech group buy. They infact are not forged but cast aluminum, they look great, and i am hopeing to mate them to some eagle rods soon when they cash is a little better. but hey you cant beat the deal with a stick. hey if some one pms me how to post pix ill post some up of the pistons

 

post those pictures!

to post pictures......

go to a web hosting site such as www.pix8.com (its 100% free, no sign up, nothin) upload your picture, its very user friendly. then its gonna take you to a page and it says something in there about halfway down like, use this picture in a forum.... it will be a http address...highlight that and right-click, copy. then come back to homemadeturbo.com and go back to your thread and click on the little image YABBC tab above. its under the S with the line though it. anyways, you click on that, and two image brackets will come up [img][img] in the middle of the ][ you put the cursor, and paste the address there so the [img] is at both ends of the address. that all there is to it. also make sure your pictures arent huge before posting.

-one other thing, its alot easier to have 2 windows open, one for pix8 and one for homemadeturbo.com
