stock ls pistons

 

thats what they are?


so the pistons arent any better?


i hate the stock pistons i always break the ringlands i have never smoked a rod or had a knock it's always the pistons the dies out on me

 

ya they are exactly the same as stock i just threw some in my boosted gsr

 

If they are stock whats the point ?

 

cuz you can get a set on ebay for 50 or 60 bucks shipped and oem honda are way more expensive than that.

 

THE ones i'm seeing are like 150.00 for the set

 

ANY thoughts on where to look to get them that cheap?

 

China, but they won't be any better than stock. The only strong cast pistons you'll find are for the D16 (Vitaras).

One thing you can get are forged pistons made for stock rods. They are in the classifieds one in a while, or you can buy them new. They have to be specially made for press-fit wrist pins. Otherwise you need to hone the rod's small end for the more common floating wrist pins. I recall seeing a lightly used set for ~$250 ($150+rings), simply press onto you stock rods.

The problem is the level of work required to get that far. For an extra $400 you can get new rods & bearings, and be set for a lot more power.
