ITR_KILLR 08-15-2002, 12:53 AM who all has forged pistons and rods? please include what turbo setup and psi you run. has anybody heard of Race Engineering, they have custom SR20 pistons built by either JE or WEISCO for pretty cheap, just a thought My soon to be 3037+18-20psi= 375+whp 3037+forged piston,rods+20+psi=WHOA!!!:D SER2FAST 08-15-2002, 01:26 AM They should be the Wiseco Pistons. I believe they take you to 9.0:1 compression and they have 86mm and 87mm setups. I have some here at home if you want to see pics of them, I can send you some. ITR_KILLR 08-15-2002, 01:30 AM pics are good! SER2FAST 08-15-2002, 01:54 AM Here is a couple of pics: Wiseco's1 (http://www.geocities.com/ser_2_fast/EBAYPICS/IMG_1081.JPG) Wiseco's2 (http://www.geocities.com/ser_2_fast/EBAYPICS/IMG_1080.JPG) They are also coated. If the links don't work just copy and paste. AZ_TURBOSE 08-15-2002, 06:04 AM look kinda familiar... look alot like my pistons! Alex 08-15-2002, 04:58 PM je pistons cunnigham rods 28psi ITR_KILLR 08-15-2002, 05:13 PM what turbo alex? Alex 08-15-2002, 05:19 PM 60-1 of course ITR_KILLR 08-15-2002, 05:21 PM what kind of power are you making at 28psi? Alex 08-15-2002, 05:24 PM the most we got was 471 but the piping kept blowing off i had the set upin my 91 but it was wrecked now i just put it in a 94 im trying to get rid of it actually unlucky 08-15-2002, 05:57 PM I have 9.0:1 Wiseco's as well.. Got them from Louis Anaya.. Top notch guy! Travis ITR_KILLR 08-15-2002, 09:30 PM i assume raising the compression ratio from 8.5 to 9.0 is fine for high boost since they're forged, right? also, would this aid in turbo spool up a little? unlucky 08-15-2002, 09:57 PM That's what I was told... I hope 9.0:1 works out.. Travis Sirnixalot 08-16-2002, 08:50 AM will these Wiseco's fit on the GTi-R rods? please someone tell me cause i need to get a new set of forged pistons for my GTi-R thanks Low612 08-19-2002, 12:48 AM The rod ends of the gti-r have to be machined down to fit the piston. This is depending on who you purchase them from i believe. But most are made to fit stock rod dimensions. Just get it clarified before you purchase from vendor. Sirnixalot 08-19-2002, 08:28 AM thank you soo much....its like every one hates that question....i really search but i could find the answer, thanks again i have aftermarket rods for the gti-r so i guess ill need to do a custom set of pistons.... Low612 08-19-2002, 01:19 PM You dont need a custom set of pistons. You could use the rod from the gti-r just have a machinist shave them down to fit . It wont hurt the rod. The machining done to the rod is minimal. Best thing to do is measure the rod , get specs on the pistons where rod connects snd see how much u need to shave. | ||
