well i bought Manley Turbo tuff rods for my b16a engine and dont know which to choose from these two piston brands:

*Arias
*CP

well both are good but dont know which is the best for my application....where i live (overseas) temp here is around 80-114 F so i need good pistons that can take the heat even with a good tune and oh what should be my piston seals tolerance be at? my pistons will be 83mm and 9.0:1 compression ratio!

thanks in advance guys,
Km

 

cp, nothing else

 

any idea of seal tolrance here? and pricing difference? cause i heard some poeple say arais are more expsneive then CP and even heard the other way around! so which is true?

 

what about JE

well i know both are good, but as i mentioned where i live temp reaches 80-114 F (in other words thats really HOT) and i read on here that Arais pistons are meant to be for race use and they have a habbit of expanding so if thats true then Arias pistons arent good for me! i just clarification if CP pistons are good be better in my case or not?

 

bump

What the hell? there both made out of the same material.....

Anyways wiseco has there own forging plant, so I'm with them based on comparision by IBSPEC.
