So I think I am gonna step it up a little bit...

[c-rad]

I was just sitting here thinking...

I won't be able to put the motor in until January at the earliest. And since the motor is freshly rebuilt, and I already have the ARP headstuds, and a cometic MLS gasket coming in the near future, my only weakpoint now is the stock pistons. So I guess I am going to just splurge for a set of the CP pistons from Race Engineering. $537 including rings, but I think it's worth the investment based on the insurance factor alone. Then I can beat the hell out of the motor and not have to worry....

damn 537 isnt that bad

[Not_a_sr]

good choice, do it now and not have to worry about doing it later down the road.

[silvia_ca18det]

is that for custom pistons? just woundring cuz i need some for ca20

[r34 gtr]

no, thats off the shelf. im sure you could find some in a slightly larger bore though. might be a little bit of a pain in the arse...

That is actually a good price for forged CP pistons, they must off went down in price.

And definitely a smart and right move to go forged if you are planning to boost big.

My plans all changed when cometic released their MLS headgasket. Originally I was going to run a 2871R @ around 15psi. But now that they have the gasket available and I am getting those pistons, I can max out the efficiency of the turbo to around 22psi and see how close I can get to the 350whp mark.

im pretty sure u'll hit 350 w/out a hiccup

CP stocks stock (8.5:1) compression and stock and oversized (.5mm) pistions. Anything other than that is a custom piston.
