Since the ringland r week on a prelude what if u buy them mahle pistons where u dont have t sleeve but they still forge how muhc boost can that block hold then?

 

As far as i know the mahle pistons havnt proven themselves to hold up for an extended period of time. If you want a reliable setup sleeve the block and do it the right way, IMO the mahle's are just asking for trouble.

 

If you want to boost your prelude, do it right.

...and learn to type first.

 

i like lamps........

btw: you need sleeves w/ mahles

I've been curious about these as well. I have a boosted h22 and don't ever plan on running more than 7 or 8 lbs. (about 5 lbs. right now). I would think the stock sleeves would work fine for lower boost levels with some decent pistons that won't break ringlands.

Has anyone actually tried these? I know they had some quality control issues for the h22 pistons in the past, but I would assume they've fixed that by now.

 

can i boost 10 pounds stock but tuned of neptune

 

Yes.

Some people seem to be able to get away with that for a while, but it seems like most boosted h22 ringlands will eventually break regardless of the tune, the stock pistons suck..

I wouldn't personally run 10 lbs. unless you want an excuse to rebuild down the road after it pops.
