ross pistons # 99807

 

my friend is using ross on his 500whp integra. its not daily driven but its driven pretty often and, as far as i know, he hasnt had any issues.

 

awsome

 

from the comments i have heard in the past. ross pistons are pretty good qualitly........although they are kinda heavy in comparison to other brands and they require more piston to wall clearence than other brands also which will cause more cold start piston slap than normal.

 

Tuned a couple DSM's with them. No problems

 

A local dsm shop in my area uses ross pistons pretty much exclusively with good results...

 

A friend of mine swears by them

 

what has your heart set on ross pistons? id go probably with cp, arias or je if youre looking to hold power with pretty good reliability

 

doesnt ams use them in all their built evo motors? i think if they withstand the massive amounts of abuse their 988whp silver evo is making then they will work pretty good in anything else as well

 

ross pistons are big in the DSM world, and i've also had a friend use them in an odd 16v VW build. i seem to remember them being a rather quiet piston. i would consider them over an SRP or similar piston, just off of personal/close friend's experiences no real numbers or tests though.

 

what is a good piston to wall clearence?...005 .. .006??

 

???

whatever the spec sheet that comes with the pistons calls for

 

ok it says turbo engines ,small bore.006 so i guess thats what ill get it set at when i take it to the shop

 

.

 

I've used them before in V8's but not in imports.They do require alot of clearance or they will stick to the walls.

 

maybe its just me but im partial to wisecos. all motor,turbo or nitrous. they have always been good to me.

 

Aren't the Ross pistons made by Arias or at least forged by them.

 

not sure?

 

anybody that runs ross pistons?..what did u set ut piston to wall to??

 

nobody??
