i have some factory high compression CA18 pistons, they came out of an N/A CA i think the compression is either 10.5 or 10.1 i'd let them go REAL cheap if you'd like

they came out of a motor with roughly 25k miles and have good rings also.

I won't say that the stock, cast, CA18DET pistons aren't good to 400+HP, but I'd have to see it to believe it. The general concensus that they're good for around the 300-350hp mark.

I'm going to prove this and we can solidify it as factual. The stock CA18DET pistons are good for 500 peak hp and you can drive around daily with 400whp as long as you have the fuel management to keep performance optimal. I am going to build an S13 that will produce in excess of 400whp. This car is to be sold once the experiment is done, so you guys that want big power, sell your car because I'm going to assemble an extremely reliable 400+whp CA18DET power 240sx.

But back on topic, mr2erdave, if you still need those pistons, I have some as well.

I've read several cases of folks running ca18 pistons in their 4AGs.Whats wrong with 4agze pistons... compression too high with 7AF head or is a low ca piston price the attraction ?Quite a few 25-30psi gze piston samples out there... one even nitros + hi boost.Which rods did you choose/how much $$$ ?

Dave, from the top of the piston to the center of the piston's pin roughly around 29.40mm. Let me know if this is in your ballpark and I'll drop you an email (Even though I emailed you before on this topic).
