If you're planning on using these in your 2G, you'd actually be better off using stronger rods with the stock pistons as the pistons are definitely NOT the weak link on that engine.Can I get a set of forged pistons the will work on my stock rods??
IMO. Take it as you will - but the shop I work for only suggests manley due to the fact they are lighter more balanced & come with a better finishing machining wise of the eagles plus gives a more precise balance!... Eagles are forged were as manley are actual billet steel. manley hold more power for a longer time. yea you can say you hit over 800hp with eagle H beam "but for how long?". . Manley H beams - all day
This may be a silly question but why are you swapping out the pistons. If they need to replaced of course go for it but if not id invest the money elsewhere.

Depending on the power you plan on making Manley H beam "economy" rods are great, decent price and will support 700hp all day. I've got a few friends who run them in their daily drivers, myself included... But for mad power the I beams are around $800 and support well over 1000hp. And for pistons CP is the best IMO.
I'm going to disagree with you on CP pistons being the best (for a 4G63 at least).
Have you ever read this thread?

To the OP, if you're only planning on running 15psi don't even waste your time with forged pistons. Buy a set of NPR cheapo OEM replacements off ebay or parts dinosaur and do a standard stock rebuild. The stock shit is going to put up with whatever you throw at it with only 15psi of boost. Or see if you can find a decent stock bottom end 6 bolt for cheap and swap it in.
Sorry for the noob question, but does this mean that you can slap an
FP 68HTA turbo on your DSM and keep it at/below 15psi without putting forged pistons, rods, etc. on?
