I know... there are a few other's to. They are mass produced in China and companies buy them and stamp their own name on them. I know... BUT they work, people happy with them and there ideal for people on a budget. Let's just leave it as that....

I do like Wiseco pistons,I built a turbo dyno queen B16a for a showcar a few years ago and it
ended up in a friends road car and he has beat the hell out of it for a few years now with 11 to 1 comp 81.5mm Wiseco pistons this thing is daily driven and it does not miss a beat.

Because I can, I guess. and get the hook up when needed. Its all basically the same at that price point. I know you hate the Skunk2 stuff Spawn, but you won't really convince me on that type of argument, sorry.

Manley H-Beam
-4340 Chromoly - Same as Eagle, and Skunk2
-Price - MAP ($380) Retail ($440)

Eagle H-Beam
-4340 Chromoly
-Price MAP ($345-$368) Retail ($480)

Skunk2
-4340 Chromoly
-Price MAP ( $363.25), Retail ($420) My Price ...Don't you worry about that, player.

What where the various reasons why you never ran s300 yourself, nobody around tuned s300? Will this setup be using the boost by gear feature? Does boost by gear work properly with internal wastegates?

Can't wait to see where this ends up

Why is that?

Id take Eagle over both of the others. It's more proven IMO.

I am willing to bet they are all made in the same factory in China anyway lol.




Shodan, Why migrating over to the 4B11?

I'd never purchase from there. MAP in my previous reference means Minimum Advertised Pricing, a term used by businesses and those affiliated with the industry. Not Modern Automotive Performance.
