any one using wiesco pistons ?
how well do you like them?

 

I used the 8.8:1's and they did just fine for 20,000miles with 375whp @ 14psi. But I can't comment how they would be with more miles as I am currently rebuilding now using a different piston/compression simple because my insatiable appetite for power was not being feed with 375 anymore.

wiseco gets a from me.

 

Ive got em...stock compression ratio for a type-r with boost. They work great.

 

been running them all year

 

i use them in a b20 vtec i built and we are spraying 400 YES I DID SAY 400....car ran 7.18 and spinning almost to the 330....car definitely has 6's in it...just have to get a bigger slick........

making 650 with them. like them alot. skirts come coated and light as hell. just watch the oil squirters if using a ls crank.

 

Is there oil squirter clearance issues with these pistons on a GSR? or only LS?

only in the B18C block is there oil squirter clearence issues....the LS block is fine.

im using wiseco pistons.....

 

I would use Wisecos over any forged piston. Reasons...Offset wrist pin (like OEM), they come coated, and Import builders has reported that the clearances are better than most of the other manufacters.

 

I plan to buy them or CP havent made up my mind yet.

 

Wisecos are awesome pistons, I have ran three sets of them in my builds! Just FYI for people talking about the oil squirters above, when running Forged Pistons the oil squirters are no longer needed, you can get block off plugs from Golden Eagle to replace the squirters. Stock cast pistons need the oil for cooling the forged pistons do not

I sell Wisecos too also CP, JE, Arias all are good pistons

mine are still sitting in the box...theyve been that way for 2 years now

 

Wiseco is the best! Btw, I work for them!

I had to adjust the squirters on my b18c5 block to clear the piston. Just a slight bend and has been working fine for over 2 years. I would leave them if possible. The extra lubrication/cooling can't hurt. just my two cents...
