Do you want forged pistons? Or are you going OEM?

 

[Kapman38]

If you go OEM, go with B16 pistons. Fit with no mods onto B18 r LS rods. Either P30 or CTR pistons will work well. But need to get block honed for oversize to prevent pistons slap.

Forged + resleeve.

or

uhh CTR?


I always get the OEM replacements wrong. I forget what fits.

Eagle rods + Endyn Rollerwaves y0!

my way = 100 dollars

your way = 1000 dollars

yO!

Where did you find PR3's for $15 a piece? (I am assuming that you are including machine shop charges of around $40 for pressing the pistons).

Your way done for the cheapest price I can find is
$250 for just the pistons on LS rods with ARP bolts.
$40 a piece for pistons, $40 to have them pressed, $50 for ARP rod bolts.

My way is $800, but you get tougher rods and better pistons plus you don't have to have them pressed.
y0!

What is piston slap and how does a hone job stop it? If it's not to hot where you are yes get CTRs.

If I had that kind of hookup, I would be running honda internals still. That is one hell of a deal. My piston price ($40 each) does not include rings.
