I saw a set and said they were OEM TYPE S std bore 11-1 comp. Are they as good as OEM pistons or? and are they compatible with the FRM cylinders like the OEM replacement type s pistons are??? any help and experience would be much appreciated...I saw a set going for cheap with hasting rings...

 

Yes I did search nothing for the H22A engine experience...

 

They are probably just about the same exact thing. A company called "Nippon" makes OEM parts for Honda, however, I don't know for sure if the Nippon you're referring to is the same "Nippon" that Honda has contracted for various OEM parts.

 

Never heard of nippon type s pistons

 

any info on this would be nice. i am curious also

 

Nippon is a HUGE company and one of their buisnesses is oem parts supplier, Honda being one of their customers. Nippon most likely was the oe piston supplier for the H motor.

 

hmm curious if it has the special coating on the skirts for the FRM cylinders....???

 

They said there from a Japan Co. called Nippon Pistons and say they are superiopr performance to honda OEM...

Made with Japan AC8A Aluminum
QS 9000 & ISO 9002 Certifications

Any of that help???

what coating are you referring to? I ahve never seen a special coating on prelude pistons, including the set of type-s ones i have right here.

 

yeah, ive heard that the nippon pistons are the only ones they consider oem. some **** called "kicker" coating? i would definately ask the seller. get it in writing that they are FRM compatible.

Hi John!!

Thanks for your interest in our product and if you have any other question please let us know

That is what he had to say...

 

Yea, they're the oem pistons. That buisness about not being able to hone or bore frm is nonsense though..
