I just got in on those eagle rods and now I wanted to know what pistons I should use for my turbo LS motor... I was told that JE doesn't make pistons for it unless you get them custom and I could get SRP's but haven't heard anything good about them....I wanted to keep the compression stock...so which pistons are recommended by those with LS-turboed cars

 

get the srp they hold good and i never had any issues with them.

 

What compression did you get/ or what compression do you recommend?

 

i dont think they make pistons for **** tommy...

 

if you can wait just ask JE to make you a set and copy the dimensional specs from the SRP's, just keep in mind that the JE alloy expands at a different rate.
for street go 9.0 for race only 8.5:1

 

haha, that's messed up man...what kind of pistons are you going to get when you rebuild your motor?

 

If you need SRPs pistons I have a set I just took out of my motor today. They were used for aroud 6K miles and they seem to hold up well. I boosted 22psi with no problems. If your interested or need more info give me a shout at Boosted3gaol.com. First 100 bucks takes them

 

WQhats wrong with your pistons that you are selling for 100 bucks?

 

WQhats wrong with your pistons that you are selling for 100 bucks?whats the bore size too

 

They are the standard 81mm size. I now have a 84.5mm bore so these are no use to me. Other than the fact that they are dirty and have a few small scratches on the sides they are fine. I will also include the wrist pins and spiral locks with them. Also they are 9.2:1 compresssion ratio.

 

So how much boost can the SRP pistons 9-2-1 handle ....I've heard that no more than 15lbs is recommended but then I've also heard as much as you want pretty much as long as its tuned properly..
