Just wondering how many guys are using these pistons?

I am purchasing the JE 0.040 over pistons!

Some guys are telling me not to go this big but the machine shops that work on 7m's everyday say it will be fine and the most reputable Calgary owners say the same.

Lets hear your comments!

Thanks

One question - why? Is your block that screwed that you need to take that much off? There is not alot of meat there to begin with, so if anything goes wrong, that block might be trash..

Not true, the bore is not trash if .40 over pistons are used.
HKS goes 85.5mm, and stock Toyota oversize go up to .50 over.
Get all the displacment you can. The cost is the same, and the extra CC's will spool your turbo up that much faster.
Just my .02.

If I need to do this again I wont give a shit if the block is trash cus I'll be burning this damn car to the ground!!!

I got a nice deal on some 0.040 overs!!!!

Thanks

I would go with the ROSS pistons but I have a deal on some JE's that would work out cheaper than the ROSS pistons!

Alot of shit talkers in the thread mentioned above. To much speculation, not enough hard facts!

Thanks

I never said it would be trash for sure, but if you need to rebuild again, you'd be already at the limits with .05X over pistons, and after that you'd be toast.
Just going for whats realistic here.... I doubt you'd want to replace your nice forged pistons with stock toyota ones if you trash yours, and i really doubt you'd want to spend the time or money to track down the HKS pistons to use in your setup. Just sayin if you go with the stock bore , you'd have a more feasible second choice next time around if their is a next time around..

Yeah, well I could just pick up another block if need be!!! I doubt I will need to redo this setup and if I did then I would just sell it!!

Thanks for the input guys, lets keep it comin!

Thanks

I have .040" overbore JE's and I love it. You'll see the difference when your motor is finished. There is plenty of block to be bored don't worry about it. Good luck.

i use the ross .040 bore. just remember to let your new forged pistons warm up

 

[MelloYello]

I have .060 over on my new block, but I believe I am testing the limits and wanted the added comp.

I have .40 pistons myself and have have two other blocks that way. Its not a issue at all. Dont worry!

 

[sabolt1]

My .040 over Wiseco's are working just fine.

 

[76celicagt]

speaking of that, how much were your weisco's?

 

[sabolt1]

I don't remember exactly.

.040 Isnt a problem...have been using that size for three years now without any problems.

i'll add to the positives by saying that i also run .040 over with no issues.

 

[ilikemysupra]

I got .040 over JE forged, and they were very quiet, until i lost an oil pump and spun a couple of rod bearings and warped a rod end.

 

[joliroger4]

Its BS. Run em. I got .040s and I run loose piston-wall clearance and its not an issue.

If toyota makes a .050 over piston for our motor, I have no problem running .040 overs.

 

[76celicagt]

all i find is .020 overs, so whats teh cheapest set of .040 over forged pistons? ross right?
