does anybody know where I can find some forged pistons,without having them made custom.


:( No, not yet anyway, I have found them for about $400
for a set of custom made ones tho.

I need to get a piston catalog to look at the specs and cross
reference to another unit that is not a custom made one.

I don't know any more, I did all the research
over 2 years ago when I first did the turbo swap.
$400 bucks was out of the price range for me so
I just did it witht he stock pistons.

One alternative would be to mill the top of the
factory pistons to reduce the CR, but this also could
cause a weaker piston, so I would mill carefully

I plan to do another turbo for myself again, with
longer stroke and bigger bore, so I will go the custom
piston route then, also piston oil squirters to keep them
cooler too, fun stuff this turbo stuff is  ;D

instead of milling the pistons. just add another head gasket or swap the stock one for a thicker one.ive heard that this is a common solution for compression while under boost.it makes sense.

Hmm, thicker Head Gasket, ya that would work.
I forgot about that, lots of drag racers use copper
head gaskets to hold the blown nitro fuel motors
together, since the stock gasket will blow from the
extreem high pressures involved.

Thanks for the heads up (no pun intended)  ;D
Also they "O Ring" the block to apply additional
pressure to the gasket and further ensure a positive
seal of the gasket
