Can you recommend me an inexpensive forged pistons for a LS b18b? I need something good for turbo, so id like to keep the compression down. I know the rods i am going to use, which come from tunertoys.com. I heard they are made by the same company that manufactures Eagle products. They are an incredible deal at $225 a set. Now i just need some pistons.
Any feed back would be Great!

 

TTT, any ideas?

 

cp pistons. if not that, wiseco or arias.


cp from my readings are the best.

Do you know what compression you want?

 

I had arias and had no problems with them!

 

got them in my ls/v

 

CR pistons over 11 will be good. But I would go with a 11.5 cr pistons, supporting mods and a good tune.

 

He is going turbo.

Didnt know that, but if so, lower cr pistons, possibly sleeve the block depending how much hp the OP wants to make, and other supporting mods.

 

nippon racing makes not bad products for cheaper prices. if hes not going crazy , im sure hed be fine with cast pistons.

 

CP, Arias, Wiesco are the main brands I would check out. I am sure the op did his homework on what a turbo kit consists of so we don't have to go there.
Most aftermarket brand pistons come with rings for them when new, but make sure to ask when purchasing.
Edit: Your post would get more love in the Forced Induction forum.

 

i got the wiseco's cause they came with rings and werent too expensive
