I'm looking into a build with eagle rods and pistons for boost, but i dont know which are better.

Wiseco's
JE
SRP
CP

any benefits to certain ones? any negative things? quality on rings? pins. ect.

Garage 808 Hatch

with the right tuning, most any pistons listed will outlast the eagle rods.

personally i prefer Arias, and you can get upgraded wrist pins.

ntoxicatedtigah

hmm. i've just heard bad about arias.

Bond

CP's (new design)

Great piston. Quality is top notch. Rings are great too. C-clip lock for the wrist pins so nothing to worry about. And...the wrist pins provided actually fit properly in the piston (I had problems with wiseco's)

any piston and rod combo will work for you is all about money an personal perfrence. i run je piston and eagle rods in my b16a , and im shooting for 450 hp at most. There is no way to tell when a rod or piston or rod will let go in a motor all you can do is do the machine work needed for ya build and get it tunned

I like CP because they are machined to such a tight tolerance that I didnt have to mach each piston to a certain cyl. Just had all the cyl bored to the same dimension.

ExospeedAMcrx

I've heard bad about every brand out there, doesnt mean its correct.

cp pistons have the closest weight also. other companies the pistons are off buy a couple from each other.

cp is one of the best out there.

anyone trying out the new supertechs? they claim up to hold up to 42 lbs. there coated. id like to know how they hold up.

ExospeedAMcrx

Really? A couple off what? grams? kilograms? You've built engines with ALOT of those other brands to be able to compare?

ExospeedAMcrx

In my opinion, there is NO BETTER Piston brand over the other. If a piston brand was bad, they wouldnt be in business at all. The reason theyre around is because they all work just fine. Each piston brand has racers using them high HP applications, so they all must be succesful in their own way.

Summary: There is not one BEST piston brand over the other. Its all PREFERENCE. Choose which bandwagon you want to follow. Thats simply how pistons are chosen these days.

jdm602

couldnt have said it better.

thats like je and srp. 2 different pistons. both used for diff applications.

redflaredcrx90

wow thats what i said all along ty exospeed

turbod da

yep!

end thread,mybuster,go with something else!
pm me ,but hey,im a newb!what do i know?

Schister66

I've always liked CP pistons....having said that, i'm running Arias in my LS/VTEC and i have another set sitting around home for a possible second built short block. I think that any of them will work just fine.

ntoxicatedtigah

well what if you got oversized 1mm intake valves?

ntoxicatedtigah

does it not matter?

ExospeedAMcrx

Most aftermarket forged pistons will clear 0.5mm OS valves. 1mm, you'd have to check with each one. Thats cutting it close. But in some cases, theyre fine to clear 1mm as well.

All of them are bad *** quality. I like my wisecos. great bang for the buck, coated skirts, and come with rings. .

smoovy

I'm using Ross. but I was faced with this same dilema. there all the same. just pick one and go for it.
