So yeah was checking kspec for ne new products when i ran across this
http://www.kspec.com/list.php?ac_id=85&ai_id=1771
Kinda cheap considering it comes with rods also... ? Im just a little confused. Im not used to pistons AND rods being anywhere near 300$ .. o well lol, are they good quality?

i think those ARE the 1.8L rod/piston combo. and koreans use them all the time.. maybe the real ratio is 7.7:1 and not 8.1:1 like we thought.. those are stock hyundai rods/pistons, and like i said koreans use them for their boost setups all the time. but, if i was to get low compression pistons, that would be way too low for me.
i would want 9:1 so i wouldnt have to push as much psi on turbo to hit the same whp. and i would be beating on the turbo as much.

yeah, if those are the actual 1.8 piston/rods... so the new compression will be now the low 7.7:1 and not on the 8.?:1's?
i just hope that we get real facts on the compression ratio... anyone? anyone who know someone who has done this? south korean guys? mad_john? bluetree? kspec?

yah, that would be nice to know, thats why these are such a good option for boost, and people can push high psi, cuz it drops the compression UBER low.. i could only imagine putting that combo i with no boost ROTFL.. it would make the tib like a 70whp car.. awwww, the civics could keep up. lmao.gif
what i want to know, is there any car out there besides the VW that has same pistons dimensions as us (CNK, i believe used to sell VW pistons in their low comp. piston set) which would make our cars closer to 9:1 compression, that we could get OEM and alot cheaper than weiscos.
because, i know i will not need forged pistons, and would rather find a totalled :insert car here: and rip out the pistons for 100$ and throw em in, and have a safe, boost friendly 9:1 compression. i just want my compression higher than 7.7:1 and would like it higher than 8.5:1 but lower than 10.3:1 so it can be a little more friendly to what i am going to throw at it..
i would have thought about that SCE gasket, but o-ringing the head, the sealers, and all the labor, plus the ~95$ for the gasket, wouldnt be worth it in the end..
