i have dropped quite a bit of change building a d16z6 into a boost ready engine, so why i bought cheap pistons... i dont know! maybe cause i ran out of dough and was ready to roll. these are e-bay specials (sheesh!) and are made from pretty good materials. they however do not have fasteners for the wrist pins nor do they press in. i have ran them 500 miles and no issues so far, but, during a recent tear down, my friend said they arent suitable for boosting. he feels the pins will float to one side and wear down the cylinder wall. honest opinions please!

 

HOLY CRAP! so u mean the wrist pins just slid in by hand and that was it? no clips? and u didnt have to hear the rod to get it in?


THATS VERY BAD! lol.

i wouldnt even run those without boost.

 

slid right in.... i was perplexed too. i didnt even think to research this. they worked great though during break in period and there are no signs of damage. i assume you can sell anything on e-bay though. i guess im looking at dropping another $500 bones!

 

yea dude take them out before it puts a hole through your block!
