wats pistons for ka?

[moises-s14]

i am shopping around for some pistons for the ka. stock bore or 90mm, 9.0:1 comp. i saw on ebay JE, Wiseco, CP, and a couple more. i am looking to purchase a set by next week and i need help choosing a company, which offers the best design? does anyone recommend any of these or have tried any of them? does anyone know wer to get a good deal for them? thanks. also looking for turbo gt2871r

I am gonna say CP or Wiseco. You might want to list more details on what you plan on doing and what not.

what a vague question.

Arias seems to have pretty good stuff, not speaking from personal experience though.

this is the kind of question that could be avoided if you just did some research on each company/product to see which would better suit you.

But wouldn't searching ruin the fun? :rolleyes:

Yes it would ruin the fun. So get to searchin OP...

fyi: I went wiseco 9.0cr 89.5mm. Only 89.5mm to extend the life of the block for future rebuilds.

Things to research:


Ultimate goal of build
Flame travel propagation
Compression Ratio (Typically Lower CR for Turbo Apps)
Weight of piston assembly
Metals/alloys used in mfg.
Ring land thickness
Wrist pin design

Most performance piston mfg's offer exceptional kits avail for our KA these days. If you understand basic theory of how engines work and the capacity to learn, Id spend more time in research of the remainding components for your build...
