EXPERIENCES! Nippon Pistons & King Bearings

What are your experiences with Nippon Pistons & King Bearings. I put up some deals in the classfieds today on these prodcuts at great prices. I personally have a 2 of my engines running the the ITR pistons with NPR rings and king bearings. One of the has 27k+ miles and is going strong. The other has 14k+ miles with my girlfriend behind the wheel and 0 problems as well.

My question!

Anyone have good or bad experiences? Please explain.

For those of you who need more details click the piston link in my signature.

id hope this isnt reverse psychology forsale posting. How many people do you think are running the same setup as you. Diehards use oem honda or acl. As for pistons mild builds may use oem or topline or nippon but hardcore builds are going to use forged. THere are some exceptions to the rule but that is how it works.

Re: (v-6 hatch)

im not putting them down. He asked who was running them and the bearings. It seems to me like he is trying to publicize the fact that is what he sells. NOt too many will have the same combo he is selling that is all i meant.

Re: (turbofienD 04)

does nippon make p30 pistons?

king bearings are good. There is other bearing manufacturers in the world besides oem and acl.

clevite, king, etc. . .

Re: EXPERIENCES! Nippon Pistons & King Bearings (thevanitygroup)

do you just do ITR pistons? how about CTR?
what's the price with rings? there is no link in your sig to anything with pistons.

Re: EXPERIENCES! Nippon Pistons & King Bearings (Mike K)

I am currently using NPR rings on my P30 Pistons. I usually using OEM, but this time I decided to give it a try. They look exactly like the OEM rings I always use.

My last setup used King bearings, while my new one is using ACL race bearings. The King bearings I just removed look pretty good. I only had them in for about year and about 2000 miles. THey had wear on them but nothing excessive.
