Would $200 be a good price for these? What are they worth. i'm not going to bid, just curious as i know tr11ky has them in hiis car and would like to go fast like tr11ky hahahaha

cheers guys

i used these in my build aswell. nice thick ring landings, unlike others i have seen

i have these in my scorpion and they take 17psi daily with no dramas lol

Great with dealing with big heat and load but will crack up in a big way with det.

Good tune and your not going to have a stress with them.

oh. i heard it was the opposite?? bad with high boost/high temp, but strong otherwise. .

oh well.
they went for $81!!! bummed i didn't have any money to bid

[JimmyG]

The biggest drawback of adding silicon to pistons is that the piston becomes more brittle as the ratio of silicon is added. This makes the piston more susceptible to cracking if the engine experiences pre-ignition or detonation.

The up side being lower thermal expansion and resistance to heat.

Look at it this way. They are stronger than nomal cast pistons but weaker than forged pistons.

Cheaper than forgies, too
I'd rather spend whatever a good set of hypereutectics cost and still be able to pay shit
off, save for rego and eat than blow my budget on a cheap set of forgies

$81 is cheaper than normal pstons go for!!! bummed i am so pov and couldn't bid

a mate of mine is buying 'kermit' the green GE scorp off me for $800 soon that'll sort everything out. hopefully he can come on the next cruise with it that would be awesome. he came in my passenger seat on the last cruise

those pistons rnt hyperutectic in the pic, there acl duralite, standard replacements, ive used them to, my 2 cents worth lol

oh. ok. glad i didn't bid then haha

forgies are worth it if you want big power aka over 220rwkw thats prob the limit of hyper pistons
they are worth it and forgies are only 8 to 900 bucks i mean thats cheap compared to some of the other motors on the market
just a thought

man always with your 2 cents , what about 5 cents next time man i need more cash

[TUFSIG]

oh. ok. glad i didn't bid then haha

how much power do you want to get ?
man if you have the cash and are willing to save just go forgies
worth it

for the security factor

i want 300 to 350 RWKWS so forgies it will have to be lol. jet is punching about 200 maby a bit under on standards i believe as she doesn't rattle on cold startup.

Hey fellas, As I have stated many times, I am currently using ACL hypereutectic pistons in my car and I do Have roughly 300rwkw or 388hp in the old speak.

In my experience, These pistons do not crack when there is detonation. They melt the edges away - meaning that if you have bad tuning, or something fails and there is a lean out - the thing won't shatter like a forged piston and ruin your bores.

30psi, boost, nitrous, 10 sec passes, powerskids in top gear. I swear by the ACL's

Top feed back rx22nv!

Guess there the real deal without the killer price tag. Win win.

[Paddles]

that is a good reputation for the acl pistons. i have a standard set in my scorpion and never had a problem and i have a set of hyper's in the shed ready for my efi build, starting very soon.

bout time paddles
then you can feel real power EFI POWER

getting there, now have everything. just have to start building. over a few months.
