can anyone tell me what bhp standard pulsar pistons can take? was thinking of upgrading when bottom end is repaired if i can afford to do it at the same time as moving house! ive seen sets for as much as £1000! which is too much for me atm. Has anyone got a set, maybe second hand or goin cheap for sale? just looking at my options, cheers ppl:thumbsup:

will possibly have a set next week.
think the max standard pistons can handle is around 380, but even at that fuelling must be spot on, or there gonna suffer from det damage if not!

No idea where you've been looking matey :shock: :doh: , You can get a good brand new set of forged pistons for as little as £300 from the states ;-) .

And the mong bit is because if you had actually bothered to do a search you would of found the answer to your question, My standard pistons took 400 bhp for over 2 years before the ring lands gave up and died ;-) .

i see! well there were sets on ebay and ppl were sayin things like 'the sets cost £££ brand new with receipts to prove aswell. theres a set on there for £500 atm (forged). Some ppl tellin me porkies about prices then! where did you find the set for £300? also was told that standard pistons wernt very strong and was the pulsars main weekness from a tuning place in aylesbury, and it wouldnt be safe to run over 320bhp!

No they don't as 200SX pistons don't have th cut out for the oil squirters that are found in the GTiR block.

Most pistons he buys from the states will need the cut outs machined into them, But its not a hard or an expensive job.

I bought my GTIR specific HKS 87mm pistons for £450 delivered from green line in japan, So I've no bl00dy idea where some people are getting a £1000 from :doh: :der: .

People are just lazy and do not do any research before buying parts. People should know by now that if you buy parts in the UK then your going to get screwed on the price. But saying that there are plenty of people who will pay UK price's :der:

I think the majority of parts on my car/engine have been sourced outside of the UK :thumbsup:
