Does anyone know how durable the stock 94-97 pistons are? I have read that they are good for +300 whp. Marc @ M-Tuned.com has written that 350 whp would be ok.
So has anyone broken the stock pistons when using the forged rods at certain power level without detonation? |
I'm planning on going the m-tuned rods and stock piston route with my EGT motor rebuild. I figure I tune fairly conservative and its more of a weekend warrior/street racer so its not getting beat on too badly anyways so hopefully they'll hold up OK.

1.8 dohc, 215 compression with 10@1 cast pistons, 15 psi .50 trim T3/T4.
Bent 3 stock rods, no detonation, pistons are intact, minor scuffs on the sidewalls as I kept driving them with the bent rods until it finally died. Miata cast pistons hold very well under boost as long the mixture is there. Although, now I am building one with SuperTech 9@1 with M-Tuned rods. |
