can any one help. I'm having my friend make some pistons for me, but I need specs. I want low compression specs, because I'm going turbo. I was wanting like 84. or 8.5 :1. can anyone help me with the specs for these pistons

I know Josh Brower had JE Pistons made at 8.5:1. I will try to email him to see if he has the specs. I think he sold them to Tim Annen in Ontario. Not sure who has them at this point.

I don't know if your really want that low or Ross Racing pistons...

If your friend is "building" the pistons, he should probably be able to spec yours. I can get you a set of Ross Racing pistons (whatever compression ratio you want) for $875, with a 2-3 week lead time. ITSUKI Drifter is right about what components come with a Ross piston kit, but $600 is below cost on a Supra custom set. Later!

the reason I'm having my friend machine the pistons for me is to save cost. he is just charging me cost of the material. That is why I need specs on low compression pistons. so he can program his CNC.

Actually Aaron...

the set is really 600 for a custom one... my friend gets it really cheap for he gets pistons from Ross everytime... he got a contact that gives him a good deal

A contact with a good deal, eh? Gotta put that info in the first post, or you confuse slow folks like me! Take care.
