Default Arias or Endyne pistons for my turbo project?........experiences, opinions all welcome

I'm debating on which type of pistons to get, either Arias or Endyne. I tried SRP and they are crap. They are for a d16z6 turbo that will run about 20 psi.

thanks,
L.

well, JE is always a front runner, but I have the chance of getting Arias or Endyne at a price much lower than JE's......I know both are good quality, I just want to know out of the two, which is best....


thanks,

JE makes the best lightest piston for us. If you can afford it go JE.

SRP is made by JE, but they skip some of the lightening steps. Same quality as JE, jut not as light.

Skip Arias, lower quality.

Skip Endyne unless you really believe in the rollerwave design. JE's are still better.

If you don't mind getting 4 different size pistons get JE. and you don't mind the small cracks from the valve reliefs go JE. I have had great luck with Endyn/Wisco , they have all measured with a tenth of each other and I have yet to see one crack.

Everyone here is saying JE, but WHY do you say Arias is bad. Lelopez from personal experience says that SRP are crap. Anyone have any personal experience as to why Arias are low on quaility???

I My Endyne's.... Great Price, Great piston. My motor builder was wondering how many thousands I had dropped to buy such a badass race product.

Arias are not low in quality......they are actually pretty strong, the only thing that I've heard about them is that they have a loud piston slap......

Well, I've heard both pros and cons about both Arias and Endyn......Since for my particular application I can get the Arias a little bit "cheaper" I will try these and see how it goes from there......

Oh....and I never explained why I think SRP's are no good.......I had a set, running 11 lbs......two of them got melted at the first signs of detonation (not even that bad of detonation).....maybe I got a bad batch, but that is my opinion and I wanted to stay away from them.
