YCP Pistons did me well in my D16 before - They offer some B16/18/20 high comp pistons. I'm going Wiesco 10.5 compression and Carillo K20 Rods with my K24 build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hmmmm that's something I'd probably avoid, second hand pistons etc. Just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they can be swapped back in 30mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
