anybody know anything good or bad about these turbo pistons from personal experience?? thanks

 

Never heard of them before. Then again i never heard of Probe pistons until i researched them and found they were more of a Domestic company (though they made sport compact pistons) that have been around for while. Could be the same scenario. If so,id personally stick with companies that deal with,or that are more for, sport compact. Thats all i know bro,lol.

But id definatly do some research on them. Some cheap piston companies use a cheap casting procedure that end up even more britle then stock cast pistons. They might look good,and feel lighter (some companies think because they are light make up for them being so cheaply made) they dont have anywhere near the strength of stock cast honda pistons. just my .02 cents and from what ive seen.

 

thanks... ive done alittle research and ive gotten alot of hear say i kinda wanted to hear something from somebody who has acctually used them!!

 

check honda-tech. i typed in google and seen some posts on honda-tech and some other sites of people who have used them in boosted honda apps. i didnt really read into detail,but if you want check those out if you want real accounts where people has used them.

 

also check d-series.org and turbod16.com.

only one company offers them in a teflon coating, sold by "fjt" (www.fjdistributors.com) on d-sereis.org/turbod16.com/honda-tech.com. and those are the ones making "power".

iirc, max whp has been ~450

compression is somewhere between 7.7:1 - 8.8:1 depending on hg/head used.

offered in 75 and 75.5mm bores only (for the teflon coated version)

btw: they are not turbo pistons. they are stock pistons from a suzuki vitara (iirc, the piston code is g16). hence the name , which you spelled wrong.

 

thanks for the spelling lesson! and i really appreciate the web site it was a huge help!!!

 

i say get em they are great, many people using them with eagles rods and pulling over 400 hp

 

I have some that are getting ready to go in my spare block and i've tuned a few setups with them. They are beast pistons for sure.

 

i've seen some beast numbers with those pistons.

 

get ycp vitaras, they are beast, i have some that are also going in a block. et some good rods too
