Hey looking at buying this engine kit would anyone recommend it? Would the pistons handle 10-15psi without causing me any problems? I also have Eagle H beam rods i'll be using to. Any help would be great thanks.

I'd stay away seems like most of the stuff is low quality. Also I read bad reviews on the King rod bearings. Not too much info on the rest of the parts.

 

Ok thanks. Will see what other people have to say or hopefully someone thats bought this kind of kit can comment.

 

As simple as I can put it: NO.

That's all junk unless you find a CP/JE and Manley rod combo. Pair those up with OEM rod bearings, OEM gaskets, and OEM Honda filter and you have a reliable setup. A good piston set alone costs more than that all that stuff together, so that alone should make you not trust it.

 

I've heard good things about the pistons but I wouldn't use them if I had forged rods. Do some research you'll see some good things about NPR pistons and rings, all the other stuff is junk

 

For gods sake, a set of CP pistons, arguably one of the best, retails for $600. You cant honestly tell me that someone would trust a WHOLE rebuild kit, including pistons for 350. Cmon now, it's common sense. Regardless what people say, those pistons are crap. Period.

 

I didn't say they were as good as cp but they arent crap. Like I said in my first post research them not say their crap cuz they are cheap

No I'm not saying I'd recommend them for OP with that much boost and forged rods

Hmmm i see, i might have to save up for decent parts instead

 

Junk. Save your $ and put it toward CP/JE pistons.

 

You don't want to cheap out on THE most VITAL part of an engine.

 

hey yeah im not gonna bother getting cheap parts i guess, ordering some wiseco pistons this weekend, ended up finding a website where they are $485 USD which is 530NZD.thats really cheap i reckon,over here there $900

 

^^^ perfomance part's are shocking here.. were geting robed lol

 

They know Kiwis are wealthy...

 

i run the king bearings in my evo, no problems with them..

 

Fram filter? ahh man..I already dont trust 'em

 

From ebay auction: "Pistons are made from a much strong cast"
