Call up Ross...if they dont have them on the shelf, I'm certain they can make them to your specs. Not to mention, they are a fantastic piston maker.

JE, Arias, Ross, Wiseco, any of which will make custom pistons. We recently selected Wiseco's for a sub 30 psi SR20DET we're working on. On another recent build, we selected JE for a 3.5 liter stroked Acura 3.2 TL-S.

JWT has spec pistons made for them by Arias(?) I think for SR20 apps. Not an off the shelf piston, but a JWT design.

Thanks HD. Why did you pick Wiseco over the other three?

Quick availability was one consideration, they offered a stock p/n 8.6:1 cr off the shelf & shipped in a day.

Secondly, my machinist likes the Wiseco's for this app and would only cite their extensive decades old experience in air cooled motorcycle apps. I could only extrapolate from that comment that from his experience, he liked the way they handled the heat. (Thermal expansion?)
