i'm looking at the split setup too on my 89 rs leggy........I've been told I can run 2 right hand rails with the factory fpr's (1 on each side i guess). Is this just as good a setup as splitting them and running a single aftermarket fpr?

what year leggy u got?

will those 550s drop straight into 89 rs rails or do i need completely diff setup?

are those 550's subaru factory or aftermarket?

what size injectors would u run for 230-240 atw?

can any1 tell me what KW these max out at?

yes definitely cast Tree..........what were they doing in a V3 sti?..........could it have been repowered with a non STI motor.....or do STIs run cast pistons from the factory?

hey cheers for that guys.......I'm on the right track now The guy I'm buying the pistons off just confirmed they are stamped HF2

thanks ichi.......but look back up this post a little at those pics of the undersides of those pistons.....they are supposedly out of a V3 sti (forged right?)......but they have casting marks?

so V3 sti pistons.............are they cast or forged? And are V3 sti pistons A or B sized?

u see that pattern on the bottom?........I have been told that that means the pistons are cast........not forged? Maybe the person who told me that was all shite? He reckons forgies are smooth on the underside. Frakn confused now How much would I expect to pay for a good second set of these V3 pistons?

not mine BC .......come out to Lower Hutt tomorrow night if u want a closer look

thanks tree........are they V3 forgies in ur pic? Can u post pics of the underside of them? BC........nah haven't bought it recently had it about 18 months now.

no i dont live in town and don't recall parking there ever

The pistons I'm looking at using are out of a V3 sti............I have been told they are semi forged

u mean my bc5?......no i dont park there

ok I have 97 gtb heads to match them up to. So not as strong as fully forged pistons but not as rattly either?

I'm looking at using a set of these in my rebuild. I've heard they came out in the V3 sti. Can someone give me the low down on these? Are they also known as composite? I have been told that they don't require the same kind of tolerance as full forgies and can drop straight into the factory bore with a hone. Are they as strong as full forgies? what else should I know about them? cheers

ahhh it's a great thread gota love it no reason why we can't debate the pros and cons of these things even if this subject has been thrashed before....lots of great info in here.........some strong opinions too........ but very little conclusive evidence either way. Think I'll stick with waic for now but keep an open mind to fmic

yeah looked on tm can't see any

sweet has he already chopped it down? How much?

ahh ok and how much will that set me back? Yes post a pic of it on ur car cheers. what dia is that bov tube? Any real gains from this setup?

yep sweet u got me numba now buzz me sumtime cheers

turkey looks on with interest :-X

BC how does that samco setup look? got a pic?
