I'm interested about this... could you post some more details? Like if it's a direct fit, the new compression ratio, valve clearance, etc?
Thanks

I'm about to use the same pistons combined on H beam rods, aiming also for 250hp... Prefered on all the 4 wheels though 8)

I have BMW squirters in the engine but it looks like pistons need modifications, like maybe a small corner cut out.

I'm starting on 1bar boost, about 15 psi for you guys. Wanna go up to 1.7-2 bar but i think they will then go boom.. Top material is pretty thin.. Doesnt really matter though, turbo is supplying enough air at 1 bar for 245hp so about 200 at the wheels.. I hope :lol: Good starting point for me too reach +/- 300hp :)

My nephew (pink floyd on here) was running 15 psi boost on his with those pistons and stock rods for a couple of years. I don't recall him having any problems.

Are there any taiwanese/korean OEM G13BB pistons now??? When I built my turbo engine, there only source for these pistons was SGP. That's why I chose Vitara pistons.

NPR does not manufacture pistons, but put 3rd party pistons in the box instead. Mines were TOTO (korean/japanese).
