Default Which Pistons?

Hi, Im over in England and its really hard to get parts for my Accord F22 Engine.
I am going Turbo, and I would like to uprate the Pistons etc.
I read about the JE and Wiseco pistons.
I am having problems finding these on the web as well. If anyone could point me into the right direction as to who is the best supplier, and if I need anything else for the lower end of the Engine to help me put out some real power in my Car.
Thank you
ElectrO

If your gonna do pistons do rods as well. There are lots of good suppliers out there like
http://www.importparts.com
http://www.wiredspeedlab.com

Also Full Race stuff is always nice.

Though I'm not sure what F22 stuff there is. You can always get stuff custom built as well though it'll cost you a bit more.

Yea you're gonna need to custom order your pistons. Turn around time is about 6-8 weeks.

Thanks for the help so far guys. But I can never see the F22 engine listed on the websites. Am I being stupid and blind? I just can't seem to find my engine listed, only H22's and B series.

raceeng.com sells f22 pistons, crower sells rods (as does probe, but I'm not too familiar with their quality).

I used eagle h22 rods with custom CP pistons (bored .020 over)

Thanks I found them.
What does having an overbore of 0.020 do?
What does this allow?

Thanks

0.020" overbore is 0.5mm overbore. It allows you to hone out your sleeves for a slightly larger than stock piston.

It also cleans up your cylinder walls and will allow the rings to seat better with fresh walls.

that's what had to be done for my pistons...there was scoring on my cylinder wall from fusing the piston ring to the piston so it had to be done anyway.
