im looking at this brand nippon the make honda piston. Ive never heard of them and want to know if its a good piston or not

 

I have heard of them but havent used any of thier products...sorry...bumpity bump for you....

 

want to know also, bumpbump

 

i recently got done building a GSR block with some Nippon CTR (copy) pistons
with a skunk2 st2 camshaft, local machine ported head and a JG VictorX intake manifold it made 181whp and 129lbs.tq with the cam gears at (0,0) no tuning......but dint get a chance to finish tuning the motor because of a lil incendent of the flywheel bolts.......
so i think Nippon pistons are not bad at all......i usaualy get some broken ringlands using honda OEM pistons on a new rebuild.....but witht the Nippon it dint happen.....maybe im just lucky this time.....hahhaahahaha

 

nippon is how the japanese spell japan...i always thought it was a stamp, never heard of it as a brand

 

the pistons are okay, just get honda rings.

I heard that there rings are great also. I just bought a set of there h22 type s pistons I will be at the dyno in a couple of weeks. I will try to let everyone know

 

bump for more opinions

 

I've also wondered about them too, the ones I see on e-bay that are supposedly like CTR dome or whatever, but the make them in 84mm and 84.5.

I've wondered how they compare to the RS machine ITR B20 pistons.

 

They are very good pistons. I've used them in a couple builds now and also sold a few sets on here before. NPR rings are quite fine as we'll. I would say the over all quality is as good if not better than Honda OEM. Rocket had some input before on a thread that I started stating he thought NPR rings worked well.

Take care.

 

I used them in a turbo ls vtec. their low compression pistons. I was happy with them.

 

???? wat? it low compression piston wat kind u got im thinking of getting the CTR

 

so overall nippon make good quality piston how bout the clutch system

 

i have some pr3 nippon pistons and rings in my setup right now.. no problems so far.

 

the pistons are great i have them in my build and 3 of the engines i have built for friends are running them .no problems so far...The only issue I had was slow shiping and bad communication with the seller

 

yeah ive seen these pistons on ebay and wasnt sure either if they were any good but my friend used them on 3 of his engines and the have been good so far .

how much would i set of nippon pistons be for a b16 ?

 

come to think about it , arn't nippon products made from the same manufacture as OBX ?

i use to sell car parts a while back and OBX's warehouse had NIPPON products in there too !!

 

iono but i dont like obx product though

 

ppl told me to go oem all the way, and I did. Since Nippon create honda products shouldn't they be supperior compared to honda brand products ? I want to know as well.

 

no where close to obx

 

i seriously seen their products at OBX's warehouse when i used to pick up parts for customers . i guess their distributed by OBX but made by someone else .

i believe nippon also makes wheels , because i seen nippon wheels at the OBX warehouse as well .

 

nippon racing products is owned by OBX . OBX's official company name is :

"Outback Products Inc"

wich its located South San Francisco, CA .

 

regardless if its owned by apc they are proven to be a good product

 

yeah they definately are well made products . im thinking of getting some NIPPON pistons for my b16 .

 

What about Nippon wheels? Good or bad? Better then Rota?
