Can I use these pistons for moderate boost levels from a turbo? They says are suitable for nitrous. I also want to know if a set of Total Seal TS1 Gapless rings will be ok for a FI setup.

Anyone?

why not run the Diamond pistons spec'ed to 20 psi of boost?

As far as rings...DO NOT RUN TOTAL SEAL RINGS https://ls1tech.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...=012194#000001

We do have the 11503 piston which was designed to handle 20ps1 of boost. I have these on the shelf, your cost would be $570.00 with the pins. Rings will run you $199.00 and that is for a steel top ring. It will take the heat a lot better than the standard plasma moly ductile iron rings. I would stay away from the gapless rings.

I would get the diamonds if I were you. They are substantially lighter than the Wisecos. The Wisecos are actually heavier than stock! Definately worth the extra $$$ IMO

you can get (Diamond Pistons) them for Stock Rod Length, or 6.125 rod if ur changing to fordged rods too... all u need to do is have a hone to 3.905 and ur gold...

that pretty much covers it

Im running them in my block. 3.905 Piston for a 6.125 Lunati Billet Rod

I can also make them for you guy's in a stock bore size. It would cost about $30 extra bucks to do it and would take us about a week or so to get them done.

Thanks,

So assuming you want to build up the bottom end, what all is involved?
Pistons, Rods, any bolts?

also, I would imagine labor being quite a bit more on these parts than a cam or heads, is that true?

Jason - Our direct replacement pistons weigh ~ 405 grams. That is pretty darn close to stock if my memory serves me. If anything we should be lighter.

Thanks,

Thanks Chris. I have a stock piston w/ pin at the shop I can weigh. If you can tomorrow, post the piston weight and .945 pin weight for use with stock rods.
