ideal do i need to do anything else like o ring the bloke or can you just use them wat sort of boost can you run with vitara pistons

you need to rebore the block pistons are 75mm so may aswell rebuild at the same time they will take as much boost as ya like

Hi,

You will find that pistons are OK but your con-rods will be a weakest link.
Honda boys are using Vitara psitons and going ober 600+Bhp@wheels.
Even Taiwanese made(Japanese maker), cheap ones are making above power not OEM Suzuki pistons.

Andy and Jerry has O-ringed their block so that it will be safe in any boost.
I remember 25 psi boost come to my mind.
You will need to spend £800 ish for block only for above mod. then you want to add billet after market con-rods(£300-ish)
ARP bolts for the head as well as con-rods.

If you need your block o'ringed for a Vitara piston engine I can offer the service.

Located North London.

£80

The most that I have run on Vitara pistons is 30psi with 100HP shot of Nitrous.

There are a few different types/CR ratio of Vitara pistons out there.

You can also use the Jimny piston if you want a bit lower CR on a 74mm bore.

I got a few questions regarding using vitara pistons in G13B...

Firstly, where do i get some?
What is rough cost for a set of new ones?
Do i use Vitara piston rings and standard GTi big and small ends?
What is perfomance of the car will be like without turbo? can i expect it to be around 100 bhp as standard? thing is i dont plan to go turbo till after my 21bday, next year, but want to rebuild the engine before i put it in...

where, suzuki, ebay?
ask around for best price
well it will have to be vitara piston rings u cant use the gti rings can u lol, and wud imagine its standard bearings
well i doubt it wud be 100bhp as the compression wud be dropped

I've got a g16b Baleno engine lying around. Are they the same pistons? Its a 16v and will save me a bit of £ instead of buying them new.

the compression on a 1.6 baleno 9:1
but the stroke is longer on a 1.6 engine, and the bore is 75mm.
a Cleverer man than me could probably work out wot the compression wud be with baleno pistons in the gti engine. but i dont no if baleno and vitara pistons are the same.

Ross

just looked on wiki, and it shows a list of suzuki engines that were used in different cars, that sort of says baleno and vitara use the same engine, so probably same pistons.

Can anyone give me a 100% confirmation that these pistons are the same as I am opening a good engine to get them!

3 types of vitara pistons vary slightly in compression ratio


steve

what is the engine code on the block?
