Re: what are the best pistons to use
1) 75 mm is the stock bore
2) the best pistons... well iirc (i could be wrong) there are only two that you can get (as far as forged), arias or srps. however (if you want to buget it), there is always vitaras and if you get the coated version, they have been shown to make 400+ whp.

Re: what are the best pistons to use
look around...arias, wiseco, etc. There's all sorts of different pistons. Get some, but don't go all low on the comp like 8 or 9:1, get like 10:1, maybe 10.5. Make more power with a little less boost.

Re: what are the best pistons to use
more power on less boost with high CR?? well. yeah you could say that kinda....But I was proved wrong by somone els with dyno results showing tthat 10:1 on 10psi only made 4-5whp over 9:1.... But the lowre CR could make more power on more boost safer thanthe 10:1 on a lower boost....so....id go low CR period..not high cr and boost. 9:1 is what im using arias forged, and eagle h beam rods. but if you want just fun power.... Id get some SRM h beam rods good for 650hp, and only $225. and Vitara Pistons... ive seen 400whp civics with those pistons...and i hear they have nice thick ring lands.

I'd also like to see these "dyno results". An entire point in compression increase will definately gain more than 5hp.

Re: what are the best pistons to use
Go to too turbod16.com and pm fjt, he can hook u up with some vitaras that have been used in many 400+hp setups. For a very good price.
