Felginator Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 randy, I got my pistons from this GP. I can take pictures for you if you want. The quality of the pistons is great and so is the coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Quest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 And you'll want to after you burn thru those SKINNY RINGS. Some people don't know a RACING piston from a STREET piston. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 What's up ProfessorQuest with those rings? Is the piston basically for street or racing? What's the best ring for those pistons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliber308 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 What's up ProfessorQuest with those rings? Is the piston basically for street or racing? What's the best ring for those pistons? Im not the Professor, but I think its the piston itself!!!! Looks like one of those Summit stock compression pistons.

scotty Posted December 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 some of the venolia's I have seen have some skinny rings too, theyre made for low drag/less friction I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Quest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 We replace RACE pistons pretty often. True, skinny rings have less drag. But RACE pistons don't expect to do what STREET pistons HAVE to do. Mile after mile......year after year. You crank up the BOOST.........and run a skinny ring? Hmmmmmm? Those are the same pistons Summit sells. Mine and Richie's pistons use the wider rings....same as the factory rings that lasted 100k+ miles. We also build more compression than these. But this is a good piston for a HIGH BOOST RACE ENGINE. Sure you can run it on the street. This piston maybe forged.........but it's 1/3 SHORTER as well. It's not nearly as stable as a cast.

briannutter Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hello there, I haven't been on this forum yet. I don't often get around, but one of our distributors asked me to visit. I read through the emails above. Please feel free to call us at 800 321 1364 (ask for automotive) for any technical questions you may have. As for the questions regarding pistons and rings. They are built for high boost racing, but we've added features to make them more streetable than other forged pistons. Wiseco stocking pistons feature offset pin like the o.e. Yes, the dish is pretty large on this piston. We used the volume from the o.e. piston. We can make dish volumes to your specifications on a custom basis if you prefer. The coating is considered a break-in coating to get the piston and the cylinder aquainted with each other. Some of it will dissapate in the the first 1000 miles by design. The XX rings (made by NPR of Japan for which Wiseco is the U.S. distributor) are the best available. No exaggeration here. We sell them to a couple ring companies and most of the other aftermarket piston manufacturers as well. They feature a nitrided top, napier 2nd, and nitrided rails on the oil ring. They are used in many 280hp PER CYLINDER applications (the aem papadakis car for instance) and high mileage street cars as well. Don't worry about them being too thin. NPR is a o.e. ring manufacturer for most of the Japanese car companies. Modern engines come with 1mm, 1.2mm, and 2.8mm rings (if not thinner). As for the piston itself, it is the only one on the market specifically designed with a dedicated forging for the g54b. We are the only U.S. aftermarket piston company with an in-house forging facility. These are all built from 2618 alloy. The lands are thick and the crown if pretty thick as well. Because the forging is dedicated, weights are in the 390 gram range (depending on the oversize) for reduced stress on the block and remainder of the rotating assembly. We've had good feedback from the customers that have run them. Thanks, Brian Nutter-Wiseco piston Co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
