Why you would even be browsing Ebay..I don't know. You should probably stop that.

However to my understanding wiseco is a quality company. But why commit to .040 before you have torn apart your engine and checked your bore. Once you go .040 theirs no re boring that block unless you sleeve it, which I don't know how popular that is on our motors.

Also I hate to be that guy..but your question is so vague. Why do you want forged pistons. What are your intentions. What's the current condition of your engine. Why are you rebuilding. And most importantly what is your budget.

From the research I've done wiseco is on the cheaper side of quality pistons. You can easily spend over $1000 on pistons alone. Not including machine work and the actual rebuild of the engine. The rebuild IM looking at doing with wiseco pistons and BB turbos is going to be over $5000 just in parts...

Yes those are good pistons. I don't suggest you buy them from ebay though.

Build intentions/expectations can be found here.

Wiesco defines the defination of "best-bang-for-your-buck". IMHO wiesco pistons are the s***. Think about it, they are tried and true. I would venture to say they are the most widly used piston manufacture in the US.

I totally get the dangers of browsing ebay, however i was only using it as a basic search tool...i fully intend on going to a shop and buying them locally, juts kinda using ebay to see what shops in the area north and south of me that have them.

Good point about the .040 over! My block is torn apart, i have not miked it yet though so i should be able to go .020 over instead, im sorry for not posting that, i assumed everyone had read my 2+2 tt conversion rebuild thread. My apologies

I apologize again for the vagueness, forged pistions for my GSP-600 T-28 turbos and 555 injectors :-)...im afraid to mention my "budget" as anyone knows with theses cars, the ZED doesnt care how much you "want" to speand! :-)

Thank you for your reply! I hope to see some pics and posts of your build! Good luck!

Kyle is a great dude and has some great prices, I got all my stuff through him (He's local to me) but I'm running 88mm CPs with Eagle H-beam rods.
