KAT CP pistons

[got chub]

i have started collecting all my parts for my KAT and i have chosen CP pistons because i can get them dirt cheap (live near eastern division) i have the KADE pistons which are a 9:1 but the KAE are 8:1. the only reason i want to change now is my GF need to do a bottom end build on her car so I'm either giving her my current pistons or buy another set of piston for her. now my question is when i build this thing could i use the KAE pistons with no problems? I'm assuming yes they are the same bore for each just lower ratio is all i know.

this is my first KA build so i don't really know all the details of the internals but i have built a 4g63 and a 420a and they are still running 5 years later

i think cp custom make different compression for the DE, it should be different for the sohc and dohc, you should go w/ something like 8.8:1, it will be perfect for boost. also you should get .020" bore just to make sure everything is good. also paradiseracing.com have a special for arias piston 350 shipped.(not sure if they still offer it)

BTW are you upgrading piston and not upgrading rods?, because the it will be half @ss if you are tearing up the motor and not upgrading rods.

yes i=on my motor i am replaceing pistons, rods, bearings, valves, seats, springs, retainers, guides, timing, cams, and faseners. with my GF we are going to do the same but just on the bottom end

how cheap is dirt cheap for the pistons? I live in Greensboro NC and I need a set of forged piston asap.

oh and you can use ka-e pistons just be sure that the cr is low enough to allow you to boost safely. I would talk to some one at cp about that.

the ratio is low enough it 8:1 for the E and 9:1 for the DE

dirt cheap is $250

WOW!!! Man that is a great deal. Hey I really need those pistons. Is there any way you could help me out in getting a set? I called them directly and they wanted $600. I don't have much money but I will hook you up with some beer money at least for helping me out. Please let me know. I would happily drive down there from Greensboro.
