Which Pistons to use??

[anconover]

if your looking for a street killing pump gas monster, id see if he can do something more like a 8:3:1-8:5:1 CR personally. 9:0:1 is nice, but if your not really gonna ever see racegas, you might like something a little lower. Wish i had the money for that shit, im parting my car out because I cant afford it anymore hehe =|

I am lokin for some extra gas mileage also. Can't run inboost all the time. We have 112 leaded available during the summer months. Interstate cruising with the boost lowered and a 9:1 should be fine. I need an all around car so compromising is needed. Ifte block gets built with an 8.5:1 that's OK too! Mark

2g is 8.5:1, 1g is 7.8:1.

i dont mean to barge in, but that doesnt sound right, in my owners manual it says i have 9:1 compression. or were you ONLY refering to the turbo one, because thats what it says for turbo. you had me confused there

Check your chart again. Non-turbo have a 9:1. Mark

what about the nippon racing pistons sold on ebay. are they any good! are they really better than stock like the guy claims?

Is there anyone that can answer this ^^ guy's question? Those pistons sure are affordable.

Ross are 8 grams +-1 than Wisecos, and are still lighter than stock I believe.

I agree. FYI stock 6 bolts pistons and rods 1156.66 grams
ross/eagle combo 1009.24 grams
that equals about 147.42 each less.
