180, 145, 70, 70Just got done tearing my motor apart and I guess I'm going to get some forged pistons. Anybody have any thoughts or experience with [URL]http://www.ka24de.com's[/URL] supertech pistons. They look pretty promising. Ross pistons look good to but do they have the total seal rings? I heard those are hard to prep for.

that sounds more like a headgasket than pistons, you shouldnt have to replace them unless you want to.

I thought so too but the next day I disassembled it and found three pistons with busted ring lands. I think I'm going to try out the new supertech pistons on ka24de.com.

Well what is weird is the car scared me. It was almost more than I asked for and then my oil pump went out. Ever since I replaced it it didn't want to be the same. At first I thought my turbo burnt up with all of the oil in the intake. Luckily it was just a severe case of blowby. So my new plans, like i said in my previous post, is clevite bearings, supertech pistons, etd manifold, spearco intercooler, msd50lb injectors,jgy fuel rail, and oem nissan gaskets.
