u want customade pistons for your almera? I don't think its worth it. just do port & polish enuf.
Agreed, I know it not really worth, just wanna check do anywhere can get this kind of service, lower compression much suitable for turbo, should be last longer, just my 2 cent. Or incase if my stock broke down I able to get one.
I do have other car to play with, but hope to complete thus one first, and stop.

Find interchangeable pistons. I know someone like Izso did it with kembara piston on his 4G15. I think.
Ya, was planning to do so, If interchange, means I need to look for same cc car?
Lets say, if I have a engine kosong, so I just need to look for piston that could fit in with lower compression?

do like wat SC claims, use lower compression pistons from other cars but u need to do a lot of research on whether is the piston durable or not, if not end up blowing your engine.

I'm just running 0.6, dint plan to go high with it, its just daily driving car.
Seldom rev hard too, driving with monitoring boost meter.
TQ for the idea, will try looking for it at other car.

HR15DE: Bore : 78.0 mm (3.07 in) ; Stroke 78.4 mm (3.09 in) ; Capacity : 1498 cc

Like other suggestions, try looking for 78mm piston size with lower compression from other engine model.
Some engines that can use 78mm piston: Campro (oversize 2mm), 4g91, RB20

Ya, agree with it, after market are better.
But bad thing was, i'm only driving an almera, I cant find any after market con rods and piston for my hr15de in local yet.
That is the problem when you mod a common car that is not used for modding.....:smokin:

0.6 only ah? and seldom rev hard? no real need to spend on custom pistons.. stock pistons will hold up well enough... maybe add a thicker or another layer head gasket to bring the compression down abit.

unless u wanna start boosting above 1 bar then yeah, ull definitely need forged pistons.

mADmAN's right. most of the times it's not the piston or the conrod's fault. It's igntion and airfuel ratio too very rich to burn the rings & melt pistons, or too lean ratio to knock the piston backwards and kick the head off, or lack of engine oil feed to the cylinder, crank journals, main bearings . most of the time. the pistons are just victims. :biggrin:
