[QUOTE="ddv_nk12, post: 1063719829, member: 115822"] For NA B20 VTEC, what type of 84mm pistons should i be looking at? Cast or forged? I came across in another forum where they mentioned that cast pistons are better. I was thinking that forged pistons were better. Brands? The prices vary quite a lot depending on the brands. So, will it affect me in any way if i go for the cheaper brands? I'm new in this car mods scene but i know brands like Wiseco, CP and Mahle are the branded ones. Hence, being more expensive, it is better. Am i right to say that? Compression ratio. I'm looking to build a daily driven car but with high compression. I dont want it to be a purely track car. Maybe i'll hit the tracks every now and then but it must be more suitable as my daily car. So, what CR i should be looking at? Now, i found myself a Ford TX3 84mm 11.2 CR high comp cast iron piston. According to the seller, it will fit my B20 block. I have also read before that pistons of other car makes can be used on B20 blocks. Just need confirmation before i commit myself. Besides, will there be any P2V clearance issue? And if i were to upgrade my camshaft to say Skunk2 Stage 2 or other aftermarket cams, is it possible with these pistons? Again, as far as i know, my stock 84mm B20 pistons cant be used for aftermarket cams. So, i dont want to buy these pistons now only to find out that it wont be usable with the aftermarket cams. I know this is my second post in this forum (the other being in Honda section) regarding this but the reason being is i need answers because the seller has only 1 last set of the TX3 pistons. If its all good, then i'll prolly get that as its very much cheaper. Many thanks in advance. p/s correct me if any of my statements above are wrong.[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]Another thing that i would like to know is whether its ok to get used pistons and re-coat it and then use them? My friend was saying this is cheaper and should not be a problem in the future. True? [/QUOTE]
