This DSM thread has great tech information about Weisco pistons.

After reading through all that, I'm thinking about making the switch...

Just wondering what you guys think?
What about the piston slap issue with the off center mounting of the wrist pin?

Seriously...lol

 

I'm still trying to decide between those two pistons. But I like that the Weiscos have coated side skirts.

 

yea, the coatings are nice. I'm still distracted by Bryson's gf's ***, lol

 

That's it I just decide on what pistons I'm going to be using!!!!

LOL...hahaha. Thats why it's there! So it can destract all the people who read my threads from the real topic at hand.

 

yea i wen to click the link then i looked left. Damn you! lol. I've been looking into wiseco's when i build my motor. they seem like nice pistons for the money

 

i run weisco's in my ls/vtec. imo they are a great piston for the money. not as "race-only" as JE, and better than srp's. i havent had a chance yet to see how much they can handle, but i give them a

I run wisecos and like them very much...One thing I noticed is that they were only a gram apart from the manufacturer. When I weighed a set of JE's they were like 4 grams apart...I just weighed a set of SRP's and they are within a gram also...

They were all balanced in the end anyways but its something to think about.
These are just my experiences and of course they were all weighed on the same scale...

 

good reading

learn something new everyday on ht

 

I know one thing, Cp pistons are loud as **** untill the motor warms up.

 

I'm looking for a part number for some 84mm 9:5.1 to 10:1 compression Weisco pistons in a ls block with a type r head.

Could there be a new train a pullin in H.T. ? Chhhooo chooooo Wiseco cough cough

 

I'm using wiesco in my next built. and I got them for a really good price

 

Ive been using wiseco's for the last 4 years, great pistons and not too pricey.

 

I'd run Endyn's pistons even if Ford made them. Wiseco just happens to build them to his spec.

wiseco's cuz i'll my friends that are making 365 + are using them, i'm gonna be using them once i get the money to build my block

earl is right.. my cp aren't loud and I run 0.0035"

 

Anyone know if the B18C1 and B16A have offset wristpins?

I know the B20 does, but I'm not sure about the other 2.

 

I currently run CP's with no noticed noise issues on startup. I was however trying to run Wiseco's but these kinda fell into my lap at the time due to some untimely circumstances. Whatever way you look at it any of the major forged piston manufacturers will serve you well assuming you have a competent machinist and tuner . Every company has failure and success stories, just make sure the good outweigh the bad

 

I also work at Wiseco Piston with Brian Nutter, though I'm not a salesman. I run one of our forging presses that makes all the sport compact pistons. Believe me, it's good to know that my blood, sweat, and tears makes good pistons. Thanks guys. Btw, I got Wiseco's in my ls turbo.
