i hope you dont have any problems. do your pistons look like my old ones or do they have a better skirt? maybe JE came out with a new design... the pistons i had were from 2003 but still only had 8k miles.

at the time they were the only ones available

the thing is.. the build date on my pistons were from 2003.. these were prototype pistons made for Nissan Motorsports.. we've been camping on these in preparation of my motor blowing, but it never happened, so i'm just putting them in now along with some more parts.....
well. i'm sure you're gonna be just fine with the arias pistons..

I think the problem was more with you running 10.5:1 compression with FI than the pistons.......even though that is strange, 10.5:1 with boost=not the smartest.

Its all about cylinder pressure..
More comp and less boost can give similar cylinder prerssure to less comp and more boost.
FYI our motor is getting built with 11.5:1 and a fair bit of boost

i don't know if you know this, but you can special order pistons for almost any motor in almost any compression ratio...........it takes about 5 mins to call someone like Race Engineering who can set that up with almost any piston manufacturer.
