We are talking cast vs forged. The forged piston will be lighter and stronger.

Im aslo looking at 86mm CP's 9.1 for a ve-t build if they make them in this comp ratio . Also abyone know if they will come notched for the valve reliefs ?
Off topic how reliable are stock 9.1 vet pistons vrs forged vrs det ?

the cp vet piston is 9:0.1 and its a copy of the factory pistons with larger valve reliefs. the factory vet piston appear to be forged as well but I find that hard to believe for the price.

9.0.1 .. sorry dont know why i keep saying 9.1 . They do indeed look fairly large cuts . I have'nt priced stock ve-t pistons but if they are as cheap as stock det's i might consider . But of I'm dishing out money on froged rods then screw it go with cp's . Who here has buit a ve-t on a budget using stock ve-t pistons and how much bopst have they put to them is what i want to know .

The stock vet pistons will have to be ordered. I was going to build my ve-t on a budget with gtir internals but I had two pistons damaged in shipping. Also the fact they limit you on what cams can be run kinda sucks. People have made over 500whp with det internals in a sr20ve.
Pretty much it. I would love a ve-t setup with a large frame turbo. Only part that sucks is not getting full potential due to possible piston-valve contact.
