Hello HT members,

I have 2000$ and id like to build my jdm h22a (closed-deck) for boost and i was thinking of goin with the mahle gold series pistons. i know there was a thread about this down below. how much power can i make on the stock frm sleeves? i wanna make around 400 horsepower to keep it reliable. ill be using a gt45 turbo twin scroll so i shouldnt have a problem getting the cfm i need. but i need to know if the mahle gold series pistons are a good choice. otherwise ill try to find a darton sleeve, eagle rod, cp piston combo. but using mahle i know ill have enough money to get my job done without goin over 2000$ with tune and turbo and build. ive done 10psi on a t3/t4 on a stock block and it lasted about a year making 280whp. but i wanna have a long lasting turbo motor. the more help the better thanks.

 

i would go w/ the darton sleeve, eagle rod & cp piston combo IMO

 

if your goal is around 400whp...you will have wished a yr from the build that you would have just sleeved it

 

alright. how bout these wiseco frm safe pistons i keep reading about. you know anything about them? personally id go with wiseco before mahle.
