Everything is a bit crazy atm. Probably plenty of atomic stuff off the shelf available. If you don't mind waiting, I don't think anyone has anything bad to say about Nitto. I'd look at Nitto/JE if you have time and budget. Superleggera/Cosworth is worth considering if you have the budget for $2k pistons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammf6 New Member 22 Member For: 3y 1m 22d Posted 26/08/21 10:07 AM Author Share Posted 26/08/21 10:07 AM im leaning towards the nitto range with the I beam.. I got a pretty good deal on ditto just seeing if they are the old JE stock or the new CP nitto range. the bloke at nitto said they have changed to cp and not je anymore . the je nitto range was still good he said.. has anyone noticed any difference in the atomic rods with the pressure fed gudgeon gallery ?

Tom Tucker Donating Members 614 Member For: 4y 9m 20d Posted 27/08/21 07:37 AM Share Posted 27/08/21 07:37 AM I wonder why Nitto changed over to CP from JE. Maybe high hp durability, 2018 vs 4032 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have already made roughly 1100hp at the crank with those pistons and spool drag pro rods. The drag pro rods have side oil squirters to lube and cool under the piston. Time will tell how well the pistons hold up to that power level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to note with the JE pistons is they run a thinner top ring which means when you do a re ring and bearing freshen up in future they are harder to source and you will need to get them through JE in the US. Using a cp piston you can get rings straight from total seal or hastings easily as the ring size is more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
