Hi.
What do you think about lateral gas ported pistons on a forced induction application? Is there any gain on FI application? What would be the rings life compared to non ported? Are lateral gas ports suitable for DD?
Thanks!

 

allows pressure going down the side of the piston to go behind the top ring to actually push the ring harder against the wall for better ring seal. Its worth it no matter what the use of the pistons. if used with all motor they have a gasport that comes from top of the piston to the ring

 

Thanks.
What about lateral gas ported pistons on a turbocharged applications? Any experience?

 

T66crx you are 100% correct. Cant go wrong with gas ports.

 

What about rings wear?
Can i add gas ports after the pistons have been manufactured?

 

yeah i have used them and get them on every set of pistons i get. It is worth every penny to get them done.

 

You will get a little premature ring ware but the benefits of the gas ports will outweigh that.
If it is an ARIAS Piston Arias will add gas ports for a small fee. Give them a call 310-532-9737

 

They are wiseco and i am wondering what machines do i need to do the gas ports
