Which brand name would you go for?...Let me know if i forgot any other brand...

 

I really prefer Endyn Rollerwaves, but they are just custom weiscos so I voted for them.

 

cp

my friend bought a set and they are nice

 

I choose CP for my builds

no reason why, just personal preference for me as they have been good to me

 

i choose FORMULA F1 racing pistons...LIGHT WEIGHT and they run around 1500 for a set ****!!!

 

I personally have CP in mine and work fine. But my next one will be Endyn Rollerwave, heard a lot of good things about them.

 

oohhhi haven't heard Endyn Rollerwaves yet...how are they in price? I was thinking about going with Arias with my next build see how that will go..

 

Ross... Custom built baby... LOL

 

I use CP pistons in all of my builds

 

I wonder why no one mentioned mahle? Too expensive?

 

wiseco gets my vote

same here. running strong in my b20vtec

CP

 

This thread should be called:

what forged piston have you had in an engine that hasnt blown up LOL

Anyway, regarding Mahle, ive used them, they werent too expensive, definately competitive with CP and Wiseco.

 

i have broken more cp pistons than anything else... i wont use em in anything i build. wiseco's can take way way more abuse. i havent used ross pistons in a honda, but i have in 4g63's and i dont like them, they are heavy as **** and dont really have anything special about em... they are a standard design, along the same lines as JE pistons

 

cp

 

mahle is pretty darn expensive..700 for a set the last time i got them for

broken how?

 

bandwagon post. Doesn't reflect performance and quality.

All the piston companies above work well. It all comes down to preference.

 

Mahle is the **** low silicone=low expansion, and price isnt that bad. just remember that out of all these Mahle is the only that is an OEM piston(not for honda but still)

broken the tops off, collapsed the skirts, distorted pin bores, melted, etc, etc hell i had one single cam that was making ~300hp, the damn piston broke completly in 1/2 over the pin

i have had one wiseco piston melt and that was b/c of a faulty injector.

Mahle makes the OE pistons for corvettes, most of the mopar SRT stuff, porsche, most diesel pistons are mahle, they do toyota f1 and IRL pistons (i have 3 different ones sitting on my desk), they do toyota nascar pistons, i have one of those too.. exelent paper weights

Just kidding, JDogg is a good one to listen to as he's seen lots of stuff.

could be installer error.. i have never built a motor w/cp pistons, but most of em that i broke were built by major reputable engine builders...

well, i did build an sr20 with cp pistons, it never made **** for power so we blew it up with too much boost (kinda sorta on purpose but not really kinda deal). rebuilt it w/wiseco's and made about 30more hp and havent blown it up yet.

you can hurt a wiseco piston and it wont fail, you hurt a cp or arias piston and its gona fail. scuff a cp piston and the skirt will collapse, scuff a wiseco and it just smokes a little.
