Question on cp pistons what are you guy make up to on off the shelf piston and to standard wrist pins?

 

700-720hp The turbo was maxed out.

 

633whp on JLO

 

i have to ask, as did the op, was that on standard wrist pins?

i used shelf cp's with upgraded wrist pins. over 710 here.

 

Our silver ek has shelf cps and standard wrist pins and made 890 going on its second season..

 

I made 650 whp last season. Looking for 800 whp this season with standard wrist pins

 

im not to worried with the of the shelf cp but my biggest concern is the stock wrist pin

 

How much power are u planning on making ? If u plan on making more then 750whp i would deff install upgraded wrist pins for the price of the wrist pins and the peace of mind i would deff install them , dont get me wrong i have seen some people making over 800 but i personally wouldnt take that chance.

 

These were off the shelf pistons that were installed back in late 2008 and there havent been any issues, we'll see what 2010 brings

 

Yea that's the thing I had this block together scine 08 just never got to put the block to use

 

where do u get the upgraded wrist pins

 

From the piston manufacturer.... call them

 

803 here

 

And where the hell was your car today sir?! haha

 

lol trans is apart.

 

story of a turbo honda owners life

 

I have always ran off the shelf CP Pistons with standard wrist pins. I just made 1026. I have never had an issue...

I will get upgraded wrist pins on my next set, whenever that is.
