hey 240 boys, i have a 93 ka24de in a a hatch, lucky me replaced the headgasket and thermo stat (from advanced) and the tstat was faulty causing my pistons rings to become junk. im looking to do just slightly higher compression pistons and maybe stage 2 crower cams. my questions are... does anyone have a set of !0.5:1 pistons or anything close to the sort to sell, or who would best to look that would carry?... i know i would need a tune as well but not sure if motherboard is the way to go or if i should just send it to someone with all my specs... also thinking if i would need to upgrade my injectors?? ive owned the car for the better part of 4 years and yes ive seached everything on it since day one. im just looking for tips and any resourfull poeple in a time of need.

Yeah there are several pistons with that compression or higher, Arias for one, but this site has all sorts of parts.

Anytime but as a recommendation if your ever going to boost i wouldn't go up that high in compression. try and keep it close to stock compression.

thanks for the reminder but i know, if i'd boost id go superchaged and lower compression pistons, but im not trying to go that far... lower budget, better mgp, and a dd. im done wayyyy to much research over the years

Same with me man, I love my 240, zero rust too which is real nice. I gotta keep savin for the rest of all the parts and a nismo tstat. Would upgraded injectors be nessecery with high compression pistons. (More air and fuel being burnt if I remember correctly) :woot:
