7mgte Rebuilt(The best forged pistons)

[oscarsupra]

Hello

I want to know what are the best pistons if I want to forged my 7mgte.

I only have the 2MM HKS metal head gasket for my rebuilt.

Tall me what forged pistons are best for my car and what brand of bearings too.

I am planning to buy eagle H beam rods

Thanks.:1zhelp:

Any brand name forged piston should work fine. They are all made form the same forging process. Ross pistons are heavier than most other brands;something to keep in mind if your concerned about internal rotational mass.

You want the "best" pistons yet you're using Eagle rods?

To answer the other half of your question, most people like the clevite77 bearings for a performance rebuild. Me personally, LOVE CLEVITES! seriously, compare them side by side with a comparable brand and you will soon know what you want keeping your bottom end in check.

Good luck finding Clevites for a supra, they haven't been made for quiet some time now, they are just another brand marketed as clevites now.

The best piston depends on what you plan on doing with the engine. Rev the shit out of it? JE is pretty damn light due to short skirt lengths, but with the side effect of increased cylinder wall wear. You've got a 2.0mm MHG eh? lots of material taken off the block and head? I'm guessing you haven't measured and just figured thicker is better (heh, well, in some cases it is ) and got the 2.0mm. If you don't know how much material was taken off of both, then I'd say you're going to be droping your compression quite a bit with that MHG. In that case, I'd go with a wiseco that has a high comp. Check out the thread on here which we are working out a new design forged piston made by Probe. It should be pretty damn close to a stock piston's specs when it's all said and done, except it will be a little lighter, and lots stronger .

i think weiscos are good pistons never had any problem with them..as for the eagles..you should of stick to your stock rods..people get them shot peened..i heard there good for a lot of power also

 

[starscream5000]

I wouldn't keep the stockers if you plan on going over 500 HP for safety's sake. Malloy broke one of his around that mark.

 

[boosting185]

how much can the stock pistons takes?

 

[starscream5000]

About 500 SAFELY. People have made much more then that, but that's a good safety index to stop at. Why push something as important to an engine's life like a stock connecting rod past it's limit? Think of aftermarket con. rods as cheap insurance for a costly engine rebuild due to a broken rod.

Have Mahle custom build you some if you want the "best" piston. I'd stick them on some Carillo rods as well.

Eh... for what you're doing, jump in on our Probe Forged group buy - the extra 300-500 bucks can go somewhere else

 

[starscream5000]

:werd:


This is a one time only Group Buy, after this the piston aren't being made (IIRC). They may consider running another batch later on, but a group buy the size of what this one currently is would have to be in order to get the ball rolling again.

Can I use the stock rods if I dont want to go over 500hp yet????

 

[a_sesshoumaru]

you could use stock pistons and rods if you dont want to go over 500hp

 

[Doward]

I'd highly recommend having the rods reconditioned, and shot peened, if you reuse them.

 

[allen600]

whats wrong with eagle rods? i have them.
