Forged piston suggestions?

[V8-valiant]

Looking for any suggestions on forged pistons and if anyone know if there is a manufacturer that makes some specifically for boost. I know I watched a video recently about a turbo specific piston had more material between the top ring land to help prevent from piston failure does anyone offer a piston like this for a stock stroke small block? Looking to put 10 to maybe 16-18lbs to it as long as I can keep the tune in check. Let's hear the suggestions......thanks!

Custom pistons designed for your exact goals are what you want/need plain and simple. Boost changes expansion rates and effects other factors, certain alloys work better under psi too. Don't skip on pistons, if they are under pressure custom pistons are well worth the money and peace of mind.

Diamond, JE, Keith Black, Arias, D.S.S., to name a few.

Piston manufacturers will make whatever you want. Even a square one.

Where would you get square rings, and would they even be called rings?

Oval ones too. This is from a production engine. A Honda NR750 2 cylinder 16 valve engine.

Thanks for showing this. I was trying to explain this to some know it all bike guy that this actually exists . Was there a 500cc version of this also? What I recall it made 133hp at 23000 rpm!

Yes there was. I was wrong about one thing though, it's a v-4 cylinder engine.

Probe also makes good pistons

DSS

DSS-RACING2016

GSX pistons recommended for use under power adders

I used DSS for my 420ci small block. They're on the heavy side but bullet proof. Not cheap though. $1k with Total Seal rings. But I needed a custom pin location. Dan

2618 material pistons are best for boost.
