NPR pistons?

[te72]

Just wondering if anybody has any experience with NPR pistons? They're listed on HPF as OEM pistons for our cars, and at $177 for a set (with rings!), I'm thinking about picking a set up, but wanted to see if anybody has a good reason not to...

...other than the fact that for another $500 I could go with JE's

Thanks guys!

If you need a set. I have a Set of .020 sitting here at the house that only have about 5 minutes of Idle time on them. I also have an Extra set of .020 overbore rings that I can throw in with them. I would like to get $135.00 Shipped for the pistons with rings and another new set of rings.

Or you could split the difference and pick up a set of Probe forged units.
:naughty:

BUT- if you're not looking for >400HP, I don't think you need them.

Thanks for all the input guys, looks like I'll be avoiding the NPR's. Followed a link from the thread link above to IPP's website, they sell an Eagle H-beam/Wiseco combo for ~$970 that is looking awfully tempting.

Damn my cheap side for even thinking of putting cheap pistons in my car

I spent about $700 on Eagles/Probes

Not bad at all... However, my evil plans are gonna have to wait for now, as financing for this project is at a standstill until after SILV. Was gonna go with 9:1 pistons, while I had the motor open (don't we all just LOVE rod knock? haha), but until I can afford to drop a few grand on this thing again and tune everything properly, I'm gonna hold off...

...Unless things are catastrophic inside, we'll find out soon. BUT... I think I'm gonna port the head/manifolds while it's apart this time, should make for a good companion to the Ferrea +1's I put in when I had the head rebuilt

Thanks for all the input though guys, much appreciated!
