need to know quick, what are usdm b16 stock used pistons worth, want to put then in a b18b. need to know fast thanks.

 

depends on how long they were used, what kind of mods, stress put on them etc. i would say anywhere from 100-150

 

the block is a 1999-2000 si block, my friend has it in his ex. he raced it a couple times but not much you think around 100 since its from/ for a friend?

 

i dunno....ask ur friend. but yeah...like i said, anywhere from 100-150, so ask.

 

you can usually get them new for about close to $200. in used condition, no matter how new... i'd offer about $90-$100.

 

Got mine for $60 from a FS thread. Great shape too!

 

are used pistons that ae in good shape a bad idea?

 

In a perfect world, everything would be brand new! But my world is far from perfect. I have a 280K mile engine, the pistons I bought have less than 80K and look mint. My decision is pretty easy. Used parts are fine if you inspect them and they check out. Look at the skirts and ringlands and crowns. -- Now used electrical parts scare me. Pistons are alittle more tricky also, because they can become out of round, along with the cylinders, but once again, inspect, inspect, inspect.

Read some posts and you will see that many builders are using used cams, pistons, rods, and cranks from various engines to build monsters. Just make sure to inspect them. New is better, no doubt, but the cost/benefit ratio comes into play.

 

I've purchased them for under fifty bucks before.
