I'm sure their all good, but I can say from personal experience that i've had good luck with CP pistons and would definately run them again.

any bad luck with je?

oem i like cp's, see what the builder is use to using if going that route, even the best pistons can die from poor building.

boostedcivicsir

the three i have used srp<je<cp
had great luck with all 3 on different power levels.

I'd personally go with CP...no real reason other than i've seen a lot of good setups using them. CP's are the only pistons that Jeff Evans Tuning recommends...

If you can run anything OEM then do, obviously the pistons and rods are not strong enough so not those, but ANY gaskets use OE they are designed the best and fit the best.

I use wiseco pistons, i have never heard a bad thing about them and they are the only piston that I have read about that uses a offset wrist pin, same as honda does. The most common pistons seem to be CP and Wiseco, to each their own.


And use a OEM headgasket.


A while back CP had a problem but it has been fixed, so if you get CP's dont buy a set that has been on a shelf for a couple years. They are excellent pistons.

Also that i know of, I think wiseco is the only or one of the few that comes coated???? anyone know more on that??

Because some people have to learn by asking questions, they dont already know everything. Some questions may seem stupid to the experienced but we all started somewhere and so did this board.
