Tough pistons.
by jpbikeboy » Fri Sep 09, 2005 9:33 pm
I'm impressed! I stripped the zxr750 motor i have. These pistons have done about 80,000km's and i've been running up to 18psi boost and they are still in good shape. They are the standard cast pistons that i was told would melt as soon as they saw boost. They saw all sorts of abuse including a couple of big lean outs while on boost due to a shit fuel pump. It goes to show how over engineered these things are.
Bikes make the world go round.

Good to hear man. I would love to do a turbo thing one day, but the whole carb/injection thing is the big drawback.
