Would 2g pistons work in a 1g turbo eclipse with 20psi driven on a regular bases.

Their alloy compound makes them very prone to expansion and contraction due to their temperature. The are probibly the worst forged pistons as far as the chance of piston slap goes. I've personally never heard of someone making it more than 15k miles on JE pistons before needing a rebuild. While people are nearing 80k on Ross.

just get a ross piston eagle rod setup. best bang for your buck. although some say wiscos i still like ross. arp headbolts and a multilayer headgasket from satan (dealer) and you will be set.

Heh, go with the .20 over Ross 8.5:1 1g piston/ring/pin combo from slowboyracing.com for $395 shipped (I bought this last night and am in no way affiliated with SBR it's just by far the best deal i've found) and mount them on 90-91 rods that you can get for well under $100. Have the rods magnafluxed and shot penned, and you're good for 450ishwhp.
