First I did search. I couldent find any source for V6 forged pistons. not even in the aftermarket parts list. I want to turbo my 3.1 and I want to do it right.

So stock heads, what would be a good set of pistons? (i'm wanting maybe 12lbs of boost at the MAX mostly 7-9 would be all I'd really ever run.)

 

forged 3.1 pistions are a custom deal,so if u really want a set pe prepared to drop some cash,though u can upgrade to aftermarket hyperectic pistions relativly cheap.the weak point of the stock pistions is the top ringland,they tend to break very easily,12 psi is doable as long as u have a good tune,12psi on the stockers starts to get into the red zone,though i can point u to ppl that have run 16 psi on the stockers.as long as u keep away from detonation u will be fine at 12 psi

 

Relentless, the 10 second K-Car (how funny) got up to 30-32psi on the stock cast mopar pistons, but you should see what happened the FIRST time he had serious detonation - the pistons looked like crumpled tin foil!

^^^^^ its funny cause i drive a reliant

 

Did you watch the video? People were laughing in the stands untill he took off.

 

well damn. I cant belive there isnt some other piston or somthing that wouldent work. (what about for the FWD drivers?)

 

ywah i saw the vid....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2R-L2u1qus.

sorry for all the bad typing, i broke two fingers, and typing is diffacult. and my reliant looks exactly like that one. - the turbo, - crazy looking suspension, and mine only has 97 hp to the wheels. lmao.

 

my very first car was an 81 reliant k my grand pa gave me. I think it was 82HP

 

my first car was a 87 dodge shadow,i was given a cyhrysler new yorker with a 2.5l turbo motor that was wrecked. i swaped over all the turbo stuff to the shadow no were near as fast as that thing but it did move.wish i knew what i know today about cars/turbos etc when i had that car

 

sorry to jack the thread a little, bu dave how hard to you think it would be to swap the turbo 2.5 in and my carbed, 2.2 out?

 

swaping the motor is easy,wiring it might be a pain,im really not sure,could just run megasquirt though,u can buy a assembled on on ebay for 200$'s

 

hmmmmmmmmm, if this car was fast man i would catch people off gaurd. it would bw funny.

 

If you read this, it says hypereutectic pistons are NOT good for boost, as they are too brittle for detonation...
