More pics for your enjoyment!

Here are my custom pistons. Although these pistons were designed for lower compression to adapt to the high boost pressures, they will still maintain good below-boost torque. They are also 60 grams a piece lighter than the stock pistons and will handle more power. The new wrist pins are a couple grams heavier than the stock ones but they are longer, thinner and stronger. Extra pin length makes the piston to rod connection more rigid. There is also oil wells drilled in the pin bores that are connected to the bottom ring groove, way cool! These pins are definitely going to float nice with all the extra oiling.
