Tom Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'm getting my 1JZ engine built and I found out I can use the same pistons as on the 2JZ, result! so which would you go for and why? I eventually will be going single turbo and I'm looking to support 600bhp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylestt Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Gaz those are rods you linked to LOL! Good lord Tom, we in the USA run mainly CP pistons in most of the big hp builds. Cost is actually cheaper than HKS and Jun and produce the same results. Just for reference, they run CP in the 1800hp drag cars and NEVER have issues from the pistons/rods.

Nic Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) JUN/Cosworth would be high on my list JUN/Cosworth pistons would be my choice. http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/5166/junpistonszz3.jpg http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/4540/junpiston2xc2.jpg http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/8174/junpiston3mw5.jpg http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/1894/junpiston4ho4.jpg http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/3055/junpiston5zd8.jpg Edited June 29, 2008 by Nic (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Cosworth (JUN sell them), Wiseco as a second choice. CP, IMO, are lousy pistons, they even send out a fit "plenty" size ring that you have to file to fit, presumably they use a generic ring, rather than one cast to bore size... I have used Tomei in high end RB26 Skyline engines, but haven't see their Supra pistons as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 JUN/Cosworth pistons would be my choice. They look familiar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
