someone can translate, but at 750 a set of pistons, the die hard who want the hot sauce from japan can get them, TODA's reputation with good parts is well known..



13010-CA1-8T0 ƒÓ84.00mm 1853cc CR-8.7 ?F1

i like the 8.7:1 CR - after you include a 1.2 or 1.4mm headgasket you are back down to ~8.5 maybe more because of the increased bore too

And a 3 month wait is included in that price. OOOORRR you could call Race Engineering, and get the set of 4 in what ever diameter and compression ratio that you want for $650.

Or the standard compression ratio and standard or 0.5mm overbore for $537 including rings.

I watched Destination HD on Discovery HD Theater the other day and they had Tobago on there. Man, that island is TINY! You must get sick of driving the same roads day in and day out.

well tobago is an island that is part of opur twin island republic, Trinidad, the main island and where i live, is aboout 15-20 times the size of tobago, small still but bout the size of Miami.. and same kinda of lifestyle, mix, nightlife etc... think of Puerto Rico but they speak english instead. well sort of.

Yeah, I guess English is the official language but some parts still speak a french slang called Patois? or something like that. They made it out to be a very laid back place to live.

And now I hate Kansas ten times more than I did 5 min. ago...

There are some Toda pistons on Yahoo japan for 25000 yen right now.

Think youll find they are TRUST pistons. They have been on there for ages as they are overpriced.

[Akihisa]

I'm pretty sure it said Toda. $220 or so isn't over priced and they look in fair shape.

[Akihisa]

UR right they are trust. Staring at the screen too long.

a 1mm oversize standard piston will give you a CR of 8.66:1 so it seems they're rounding up (8.5 is standard) these look like a forged copy of standard pistons so the same theory applies. bigger bore with a flat topped piston will INCREASE compression not drop it down

1.2mm is standard gasket thickness on a DET

i meant the compression might be more because of the increased bore too just worded it badly...
