You should check the threads on Honda-Tech by TurboPanda and make sure that they're the right brand of piston.

Vitara Pistons are out of suzuki vitaras, same size bore, just a lower compression ratio

Calesta · 06-11-2008, 09:52 PM

Yes and no. The Vitara pistons that everyone likes to use are not the OEM pistons. They're an aftermarket piston with a different aluminum composition than stock.

yeah, I am not going with those one's from the link anyways...from what I understand the YCP vitara pistons actually have a lower compression thn 8:5:1 like a lot of them say so...thanks for the responses though

the YCP Vitara Pistons on ebay are legit - I have those exact same pistons in my trubo d16z6. I am have been running 14psi on a T28 turbo for 2 years now and have had no problems what so ever. although, I do have the S200 and its tuned. that makes the world of difference.
