hey guys i was looking around and found that some FWD SR guys are putting Z32 300zx turbo pistons in there DE motors as a cheap alternative to expensive forged overbore low compression pistons. The info i have on them so far is that they are 87mm and 8.5:1 compression ratio and fit the oem rods. I have yet to hear of anyone using these in their rwd SR20DET, I may try it as i have to bore out my block and need to save money somewhere. Plus I wont be going over 350hp so I think these will be a good option. If anyone has any info on this or has done it before, please post. I am really interested in this option rather than spending $500 on forged pistons.
