Does it have to be arias? Why not wieseco or something. You can get a set of those (wieseco) for $369 at Race Engineering. Comes in 8.5CR, 8.8CR, and 9.0CR.

Who makes 86mm forged pistons? I can't seem to find any. (just 86.5 and 87mm pistons)

So does race engineering, they sell wieseco 8.5 and 9.0 in 86mm forged.

So wiseco does make 86m pistons?? When I looked at their spec sheet, it showed only 86.5 and 87 I thought... I will go back and check now.

I don't want to bore up my motor because I don't want to weaken the cylinder walls of the aluminum block. Sure, I'd love to sleeve it and go big... but that would cost me a heinous amount of money that I can't spend on my car. (cost is always the determining factor for me)

A whole 20cc's of displacement for $1000 just doesn't sit right with me. I'd prefer to just buy normal displacement pistons and add more boost. That 8.4:1 should be good... and I'll keep running a 1.5mm head gasket... should be about 8.2:1 compression with that. Add my water injection, and VOILA! Lots of boostability!

you cooky SR guys. I notice a blacktop on your engine now, new motor or can of spraypaint?

Post by **1bad180sx** » Thu Dec 26, 2002 5:16 pm

Hmmm.... well... Not a can of spray paint... and only partially a new motor. Its a solid stock black top head with a rocker stopper kit in it, a Tomei 1.5mm head gasket down on a stock red top bottom end.
