what is your preferred piston 9.0:1 compression brand for a T3T4 turbo integra LS @ 250-300whp?
along with either GE or AEBS sleeves and eagle rods.

 

for that amount of power just about any piston is going to do the job just fine for you. Wiseco's would probably be your cheapest route to go.....correct me if I'm wrong guys.

 

You should be able to get that much power on a stock block and pistons.

 

ya you could get that easy on a stock block if not more and throw a b16 head on there for more power

 

wisecos are probably the best psitons for the money period. WE run a set of Wisecos in my buddy's all motor car and they are great

 

I am going to assume you have been running LS-T stock block up untill now, and have recently cracked a sleeve. Otherwise, there would be no need to sleeve a block to run that power level.

If your running fine on a stock LS motor now I would suggest upgrading the head first. That would make your goal easily reachable on a stock block. If you just have an LS motor in need of a rebuild, but not sleeves, again I would put the money you would spend on sleeves into a head upgrade.

If you have a cracked sleeve I would consider how much cheaper a bare block would be than sleeving your busted one, a good stock block will hold way more than your power goal.... probably more than the eagle rods would ....

no, i didn't crack my sleeves. right now i have a greddy 18G turbo on my stock LS motor @ 9lbs. for a project, i am upgrading to a T3/T4 turbonetics turbo and boost 12-14 lbs. recommended by people i run into, upgrading to a larger turbo like a T3/T4 and boosting double digits will require a built motor. my motor right now can handle the 18G no problem but i cant afford to blow this motor with a T3/T4 because this car is daily driven. i'm able to get my hands on another LS block and plan to sleeve, rods, and pistons. i have hondata s200b right now and will re-tune with the new turbo. i assumed up to 300whp @ 12-14lbs with the T3/T4 but i guess it could be more i dunt kno.

thanks for the votes, keep it going! (for me, and others to consider)

 

Wiseco's Pistons will be in every single motor I ever do. Great customer service, great price, and free skirt coatings! good luck with the build

 

yea im running wiseco as well. they were super friendly on the phone

 

dude we got 275 out of a 99 si with just a head gasket and a block guard. stock internals.

 

I've seen over 300 whp on a strictly stck block. Just a good turbo setup. There is definitely NO point whatsoever in sleeving the block to achieve your goal of 250-300whp. Pistons and rods are really not a necessity, just insurance. A buddy of mine is making over 400 whp on pump gas on a gsr. 300whp is easily attainable witha good running motor and turbo setup. Take that money and invest in a full race turbo kit, and a good tune

 

Another thing, you can boost double digits with a t3/t4. Again with a good tune, such as my boy with the gsr, he has a sc 44 and boostin 17 pounds if I am correct. another friend had a t3 on his ls boostin 15. Its all in your tune

ok i will prolly hold on the sleeving but still want that insurance of pistons and rods.

Eagle Rods
wiseco pistons? more votes!

 

i made 279whp 250tq with my stock LS @13.8 psi...t3/t04e .63 .60 57 trim stage 3..
i will be using cp pistons,eagle rods for my next setup-350whp..

 

Made 300.2WHP about an hour ago on a bone stock LS...well other than injectors and S300 hondata. T3/T04 .57AR.

 

Don't open the motor if you don't have too. For that power level the stock block should be just fine, as long as it's tuned right.

 

like everyone esle said stock motor is fine, if you want insurance i would spend the extra $50 and get CP's. wisecos are good, CP's are better.

 

watch out for CP's.... no point in paying more money for a 20 year old piston

Weisco ALL the way

 

Don't even bother opening the motor up. You can easily run 250-300Whp on the stock block. Just run a good engine management. And an even better tune.

 

just like everyone else said . no need to dump that much money into a bottom end when you're only looking to make that much power.

 

DIRep972 knows what he is talking about, you DO NOT need to do any building or strengthening to your STOCK block to obtain 250-300hp, i have a stock block stock head ls/vtec in or extremely neat that power range and i BEAT THE **** out of it regularly. with a t3/t4 turbo, precision sc44, put your money and worry into TUNING you can easily blow a FULL built engine at 250-300hp on a bad tune and easily boost the **** out of a non built motor on a really good tune.
