For those of you looking for inexpensive forged pistons.........

This is a link to Race Engineering's site. It includes listings for the KA24DE and KA24E forged pistons...($409 KA24DE, $299 KA24E(they are ON SALE!!) Anyways, I thought that some of you would find it interesting.

oH YES, and by the way, THEY ARE FORGED, according to Ron at Race Engineering.

so ahem, the sohc are cheaper? Why so when you could put the sohc FORGED pistons on your dohc and get mor CR and power? Thats weird. Or just maybe too crazy for some folks...

Are you saying the stock SOHC piston is forged?

[Dattebayo]

uhh, no. You said race engineering had forged sohc pistons for cheaper than dohc. Im simply alluding to the fact you can put sohc pistons in a dohc and bump your CR up, and since you informed me of cheap pistons (forged) why would you buy the dohc ones? Sorry about the mix up.

OK i just thought, did they change the CR on these pistons?

[Turbo_Nismo_EC]

The SOHC ones are 10.5:1. I don't know how much the SOHC pistons bump the CR in a DOHC, but I don't think these will work in that application. From my understanding the stock CR for the SOHC is 9.0:1, so I think these may not work the way you are thinking. However, the forged DOHC pistons are more for turbo, and the SOHC ones are for N/A appications. I posted this infor on both the turbo KA and the N/A forums, just so everyone can see it since I have seen many people ask where they can get them pretty cheap.

oh ok my bad. Those sohc would make a dohc go way over 12 to one CR. Hey thanx for the info though.
