A forged piston alternative

[d112crzy]

If there are 2 practically identical builds, where the only 2 things different from each other are these pistons and rods then this option would be cheapest. Barely.


You could also use stock H22 rods. They're strong enough to support more revs than you'll probably do on an F22A and strong enough to support at least 400whp. You'll have to either get the new pistons pressed on(you'll need a competent shop for this, as it's semi difficult) or rebush the small rod end to accept a floating wrist pin.

Yes, it's more work but in the end it'll be a little cheaper still. You can find h22 rods for around $50(find some that have bad pistons, since you won't need them). To get the new pistons pressed on shouldn't cost over $80, and it should be around $100 to rebush.

Either of these options work for someone that is on a super tight budget and want to save wherever they can.

Where exactly can I find these forged evo 8 stroker pistons for around $430ish? I went searching on ebay but I could only find wiseco pistons for $499

Oh how I would love to read this thread right now but I don't have the time. I would like to facilitate a meeting between Jose and Scott. I think some very fruitful arguments would be had.

These kind of threads that bring up discussion and higher thinking are great.

10 days and that's the best you could come up with

Are stock pistons a weak point in the avg turbo build

I thought ud be OK w/new rings.

Though it prob helps a lot for revving higher. Id want higher compression though

[bcjammerx]

from what I've READ only...no pers. exp...the ring lands won't hold up over time...thus saith others

Yes, stock pistons are the weak link on stock applications. New rings won't do anything, besides give you more power when you rebuild. But it's the ringLANDS that are the weak point on the pistons. It's what the rings sit on.
