I have been searching for days but can't find any forged pistons that are designed for the 5sfe block and the 5sfe head. Everything available is for the 5sfe block and 3sgte head, or to work with 3sgte rods. Do they have to be custom made? or is there a supplier that I haven't found yet?
PS I am going to be turboing the 5sfe. Thanks *EDIT* They need to be stock size. I don't want to bore it, just a quick hone upon installation This post has been edited by UVZ164: May 9, 2012 - 11:43 PM |

This may be really dumb but I have to ask. Instead of forking out approx $600 for the pistons could I cheap out and just buy new rings and new rod bolts that will hold up? Everything I hear is about the rings and rod bolts going and nothing about cracked pistons or what not.
