JE pistons

[eoinnova]

i can get my hands on a set of JE pistons for a ep91...
brand new in box with JE stamped on the actual piston,
can i run them in a internally stock engine with stock toyota rods??

 

[MARK@CMBAUTOS]

are the pistons std bore size ?

yes standard bore, with pins and rings and all with it

Yes, will need the bores honed though, so the new rings can seal properly.

 

[MARK@CMBAUTOS]

u can fit them but its a costly job u be better throwing in forged rods while ur in there .also ud need ur engine stripped first to see that u dont need slightly bigger pistons in case ur bores are oval

ok and is there much more performance with them or would it be a waste of time and money?

thanks for the advice

lad i wouldnt be putting any standerd bore forged pistons into your engine lad unless you want it to sound like a disel car ,,thats why that lad is selling them on donedeal to much piston slap hes going bigger bore from what ive been told ,,stay clear of them

 

[MARK@CMBAUTOS]

yes strip it and make sure that the pistons ur away to buy are def what u need cause they prob wont be . get some scat or pouter rods and all the other items thats needed i.e arp bolts gaskets shells big end bearing etc is a costly job

ur looking around the £1500 for a basic forged engine
