forged pistons.. expanded...??? ahahaha

let me guess you like to stretch out the connecting rods and studs first too bahaha

Used to look like this about 2 years ago:


Little bit more recent but I put on the SR/KA manifold on since then, and cleaned up the fuel lines a little bit:


Bad cellphone picture of the SR/KA manifold during install:


Car looks like this on the outside:


Only time I got pulled over was for speeding. :P
The exhaust is fairly quiet too, so it doesn't get the attention of cops.

Looks good bro! I really like it! Working on my s13.5 right now, but doing the same thing with the sr. Don't be offended by the others Razi, they're just hating coz they didnt think about how the stealth ka-t should look and they got outdone in the process. As far as my opinion, u should consider relocating your catch can and limit the amount of hose clamps installed. Your hot pipe should be one solid tube rather than stepped piping. The weld beads throw it off kinda even with black coating. Overall, I give your set up a 8.5-9 outta 10. It's impressive! If u need help with it, lemme know. Great job again!

Shut up newb. Theres a reason why the piston wall needs to have a much larger diameter than the piston itself.

Because heat makes them expand, and cold makes them contract.


Hurrrrr Ima duuurrrrr


Carry on.


Some beautiful engine bays in here. Gotta admit I'm a little jealous lol

I'm not really sure what's going on with this forged piston talk...but forged pistons do expand more than cast pistons.

Forged pistons use a different alloy(2618/4032), and yes, they do expand more...only like 15% or something, which is nothing if you put it into perspective.

With forged pistons or any race motor you should definitely wait till it gets up to operating temperature before romping on it. The expansion isn't what screws forged pistons up...it's the expansion rate. You gotta let them warm up before you romp on it.

Notice I'm not saying you have to SIT there for 10-15 minutes, but as with any motor you should let it warm up. I usually wait for like a minute and then drive slowly, shifting at like 2-3K until it's warm.

Call me an idiot, but I have had no problems ever. And everyone else I talk to about building motors, etc, will say the same thing about forged pistons.

That guy actually has it backwards. Imagine if he is correct, then all those OEM motors would be bad on hydrocarbon emission during start up or cold weather operation. It's in the OEM's best interest to have a piston that maintain it's dimension throughout most of it's operating range.

I have a SR SMIC that I might be using for my setup. But, for those who have used FMIC for their setup, where did you get it from and what piping did you use?
