Most important with vitara slugs is to use custom length rods for them, if not your compression is going way to down. The price for a custom rod and piston kit is less expensive than a set of forged pistons alone.

Re: Y8 Vitara Build Pros and Cons??
Pros:
- Inexpensive
- Will suffice for most 3-400whp builds
Cons:
- Require custom length rods, otherwise static CR is garbage (like 7.8-8.2:1 IIRC)
- They're not the best option, but will do the trick.
OP: What is your power goal? I assume you're turbocharging it....correct?
