Default WTB JDM BP VVT pistons
I'm looking for the high compression pistons that came in later JDM BP engines. I only need one, as I want to scan it and do some reverse engineering on it, but I'd take a whole set.

I think the USDM pistons are 10:1 and the JDM are the 10.5:1. I've got scans and dimensions on the USDM pistons. I'd like to look at the JDM ones as well.

Wow, I really went down the rabbit hole trying to find that information.

You can buy a single piston through Mazda for $32.20 + shipping (which is usually a stupid amount).

Just as an FYI. The part number is BPZ2-11-SA0 (for the standard bore piston).

And only a single one in stock in the US!
I don't really need a brand new one, but if a used one doesn't show up soon I'll buy a new one.

My timelines won’t allow me to send them out. The retail price on one is like $43 or so. Just order you one.
