Thread: question about aftermarket pistons

I plan on putting together a ve over the winter for next year and doing a basic turbo set up. I want to keep stock bore because my future power goals can easily be achieved with it. I will be upgrading the pistons and rods just for reliabilty. I will most likely be going with eagle rods and wiseco 9.2:1 compression pistons. The pistons I was looking at are for de/dets, my main concern is the piston to valve clearance with these. Do you guys think it will be okay on a ve? Heres a link to the pistons.

get ve after market pistons and you wont have to worry about the clearances

the ones that I have seen are high compression and are much more money than the regular de ones which is why I am asking if they will work out fine.

i had je pistons the oil ring came apart on the #1 cylinder and grooved it. i have cp pistons now. not cheap, but man theyre nice.

yeah cp is the only company that I see has ve specific ones and they do look nice, if I have to go with those then so be it but Id like to know my options if there is a cheaper alternative. That package deal with rods pistons and main bolts is only a bit more than cp pistons alone.

I got some JE VE pistons, not sure if they offer them as a shelf option yet. Better to go CP if they have cheap off-the-shelf options.

Yeah CP's all the way man. Cant go wrong. Hit up PoorBoysParts on Ebay for a pistons and rod combo that wont be beat by anyone else guranteed. The ve specific CP's are down to about $502 shipped. He usually just carries the regular CP's so message him and ask him specificly for an eagle rod, CP VE 86mm 9:1 pistons and he will hook you up. Tell him roche0823 sent you. Ive sent him a lot of customers for pistons, rods, and combos. Ive bought all my sets for my car and all my customers builds.

yeah his prices are low ahston. Ill have to call cp and see what they go for at dealer price.

stratton.

thanks guys and ashton thanks for the hook up ill definitely ask him
