Message: <blockquote data-quote="ddv_nk12" data-source="post: 1063719829" data-attributes="member: 115822">For NA B20 VTEC, what type of 84mm pistons should i be looking at? Cast or forged? I came across in another forum where they mentioned that cast pistons are better. I was thinking that forged pistons were better. Brands? The prices vary quite a lot depending on the brands. So, will it affect me in any way if i go for the cheaper brands? I'm new in this car mods scene but i know brands like Wiseco, CP and Mahle are the branded ones. Hence, being more expensive, it is better. Am i right to say that?Compression ratio. I'm looking to build a daily driven car but with high compression. I dont want it to be a purely track car. Maybe i'll hit the tracks every now and then but it must be more suitable as my daily car. So, what CR i should be looking at?Now, i found myself a Ford TX3 84mm 11.2 CR high comp cast iron piston. According to the seller, it will fit my B20 block. I have also read before that pistons of other car makes can be used on B20 blocks. Just need confirmation before i commit myself. Besides, will there be any P2V clearance issue? And if i were to upgrade my camshaft to say Skunk2 Stage 2 or other aftermarket cams, is it possible with these pistons? Again, as far as i know, my stock 84mm B20 pistons cant be used for aftermarket cams. So, i dont want to buy these pistons now only to find out that it wont be usable with the aftermarket cams.I know this is my second post in this forum (the other being in Honda section) regarding this but the reason being is i need answers because the seller has only 1 last set of the TX3 pistons. If its all good, then i'll prolly get that as its very much cheaper.Many thanks in advance.p/s correct me if any of my statements above are wrong.---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------Another thing that i would like to know is whether its ok to get used pistons and re-coat it and then use them? My friend was saying this is cheaper and should not be a problem in the future. True?</blockquote>
