Adam steward is using slightly thicker motorsport oil from memory. I'll just ask about see what the general consensus is

Lazy off boost won't be an issue to me. Might actually make me drive half sensible the odd time lol. Keeping the intercooler pipes as short as possible is a big thing for me so hopefully that helps too. Oil I'm worried about as I've had two motors now with bottom end failure. So more research...

This setup should work on 4efte pistons too. So the only real limiting factor is a rebore. 4efte pistons don't go to 1.5 bar of boost as far as i am aware where as 1nz should be fine with it.

im going to try it I think. Will go and price up a rebore first though.

block bored, honed and skimmed head skimmed. Compression ratio 7.2 Ep82 rods (not modded) 1nz pistons (not modded) Stock cam Stock gaskets Acl bearings 380cc + injectors (3sge) 10w60 oil exedy stage 1 TK02H441 organic clutch Standard flywheel Use toyota clutch release bearing (doesn't rattle)...

Mainly interested in their strength over standard pistons. They are also only 115 for a full set. I'm not fully committed to them yet but I'm very interested. I Like being different

Looking into using vitara g16a pistons due to price and how easy they are to source. Looking to see if anyone could tell what all I need to do to fit them. Rebore to 75mm is pretty obvious. But is there anything else different.
