Something unaware to a lo of ppl..I was amazed too when i heard it but after seeing my friend ride boosting 16PSI and 12 sec runs i decided to give it a try.A lot of ppl in here use these pistons for D series Turbo build ups with great results.
The pistons have the same 75MM bore as the D15,D16 engine.Pistons are out of 98-99 Vitara.The code of the piston is G16. NO machining needed..they just drop in there like if they were meant for the engine [Ace ventura}Like a gloooooooove[/Ace ventura off]..
COmpression numbers on Y7 engines are 8.5:1(slightly higher on Y8) with stock head. They are forged from factory and also theyre floating style.
Cost? Well i got a brand new set for less than a 100 bucks(prize to low to say..lol). They go for around 140 a set and the replacement pistons go for like 100 a set. If you want to boost between 15-20 PSI these are an excelent solution instead of buying 300$+ AFtermarkets...
Compression too low? Well just mill the head and get desired ratio.The piston doesnt get flush up top so if you mill the head the valves still clear very fine.
