I have never heard a "quiet" forgie , I have arias in my tacoma and there noisy until they expand then the quiet down a little .

Munch

Then I guess you've never heard of JE pistons then .

toyotaracer9

ive heard of them , but havent had any first hand experience . there as quiet as cast pistons? I thought forged pistons had to have greater tolerance due to the fact they expand more .

Munch

I've put them in various cars, and they have never made noise. Now back on topic.

paul_dezod

Yes, back on topic please. ;)

You could do much more boost than that with those pistons with some rods.

paul_dezod

Oh we know, however after a certain point it becomes pointless in a FWD car.

Joe_Dezod

I was reffering to running 12-15psi on JUST pistions. the rods become the weak link after that point, and once that's upgraded, boost here we come.

paul_dezod

We have a couple sets of these due in stock in about 3 weeks.

I'll be inline as usual.

Joe_Dezod

i like you you subconsciously wrote inline as one word. You know what you're always thinking about gearhead haha...

But yeah I know you'd be down

paul_dezod

Like an Inline 6 2JZ?

You might have covered this previously in the thread but im to lazy to go back and read it all soooo....

Do these pistons come with the stock ringland height and ring thickness? I know the stock ringpack is a 1.2, 1.2, 1.5, which isnt a very "serviceable" ring pack from my experience. I went with a 1.5, 1.5, 2.0 in my engine and I was just wondering if you all were thinking the same or not.

PghtC

^^a very good question.

paul_dezod

Sorry guys.............I missed that Q

Anyway, we use the state of the art 'big boy' used one all of the decently HP'd 4 bangers making 500-600hp. It is 1.0, 1.2, 2.8. It has quite a bit of technology behind it too. ;)

BlkSandPrlTurbotC

2.8... hello!

waiting... inline calmly

TurboCustomz

Please explain the reasoning behind this. I've heard of a similiar combination before but never understood the principles behind it on a FI setup.

paul_dezod

Plain and simple, we acheived this through Trial and Error over the years. We tried several combos, and none have had the success of this on the 4CYLs making 500-600HP. This configuration has been proven time and time again.

TurboCustomz

Im not doubting its effectiveness as much as Im curious to why it is so effective. I didnt know if you knew any finite reasoning behind it or if it was just something that has worked well for you in the past.

paul_dezod

Well I hear ya. I think it has to do with the design too. These are steel, flat, rounded, nitrite coat with sort of a napier (sp) hook to them......I do not claim to be a piston guru, but from experience they work and well at that. So the deal is good in my eyes.
