Re: Viatra Pistons
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.

Re: Viatra Pistons
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.
