What is the best EJ257 piston out there?
What have people had experience with?

Not looking to buy Cosworth.

Thanks

Wiseco, that's what I'm gonna use in my build and they are on ebay for like ~$700

Mahle. The power pack pistons with the high end alloy are around 520 and are considerably more quiet than the weiscos, CPs, etc. The only pistons GT uses.

For the pistons and rods or just the pistons?
seems to be real expensive...

Is this the Wiseco pistons and eagle rods for $700?

Used to have the Wiseco pistons and eagle rods in my old dsm setup. They were good for about 500whp then they slowly took a dump.

aren't they getting 500whp out of the stock block?

yea I was under the impression that one goes for the Wiseco/Eagle combo if they wanted over 500whp..

I guess not in a DSM.
My pistons were starting to go at ~500whp.
Was told by my tuner to replace them with Ross pistons.

But anyways...had some isues with the 4g63 and switched over to the EJ257.
