DSM Eclipse Rebuild Kit 4G63 Non-Turbo Pistons 90-92 - (eBay.ca item 190285673922 end time 09-Jun-09 00:44:25 EDT)

ok so it says that kit is good for decent power but i know how the saying goes " you get what you pay for" do you guys think it applies to this kit??? its only the pistons i want out of the kit but i got lazy and just looked up the whole kit. also do you think the kit is a good one???

I would go with oem parts if you want to make anything under 400whp. Other than that go with a good aftermarket company for forged internals.

the previous owner of my car rebuilt the 6 bolt with topline pistons and 1g big rods. So far it has great compression and runs very very well.

I would use the whole kit if were you. I used a topline gasket kit for my rebuild and it was top notch stuff. If the pistons/rings are as high quality as the gasket kit is then that's a hell of a deal right there.

I lost a motor due to a TopLine oil pump. A lot of people have, too. I would stay OEM. But their pistons do seem to hold up.

Personally it is a DSM anti-rust protection.

go cometic gaskets if you want gaskets and if you want pistons go to thedsmgraveyard.com

For me it would cost way more to buy from thedsmgraveyard. com I have already looked into that. well to be hounest that was my first place I looked, then slowboy but no one answered back to my several emails Isent to them so i gave up there, then punishment racing but I then decided to put stock pistons back into the beast and they dont carry them, then i found these.


and the only reason im not buying the whole kit is because i already have most of it already, the only things I am curently missing is a head gasket, and the gasket for your J pipe . And i have two front main seals sitting collecting dust,and a brand spanking new Mitsubishi timming belt still in the plastic . And dont worry I would never put any topline pumps on my dsm I seen what they do to your dsm.... Por guy never knew what happened till he seen his rod on the ground.

It is a shame you don't have a 7 bolt. You could do the frankenstein with the forged EVO 9 piston on 7 bolt rods for about the same price as stock pistons. That would justify cost at least for me.

Ya it would be nice but I lucked out and got a six bolt... Oh speaking of that I should change my profile info i got a new dsm .
