d16 turbo block what pistons to use

[tomoseli]

Please can anyone advise me as to what pistons to use in a d16 block on its first rebore for a turbo.
the turbo has been on it for one week till i had the ecu piggy backed then on the dyno ...
it was meant to run up to 8psi on the stock pistons but the twats at the dyno ran 16 to 20 psi through it and shot my rings ..
so im now presently rebuilding the block and will be grateful of any relevent info ie:
what pistons to use ......?
at what comp is best ie: hi or low
or what is safer for anything from 8psi to 12 or 15 ?
where to get them from in the uk ? (pistons/rings )
and what sort of clearances are we talking on the bore to pistons to make this semi reliable ?

I am aware of sleeving and at the moment this isnt an option i have as ive just spent nearly £2000.
on the turbo install and piggy back and dyno and feel gutted
SO ANY HELP WILL BE GRATEFULY RECIEVED

Thanks man any ideas on max boost level ?

with a good sleeve job, some strong rods, and wiseco's, the skys the limit. but honestly, without making the thing into a full drag car, anything more than about 250-300 whp is going to be more than you'll ever be able to use on street tires.

i'd prolly bump that to 300-350whp as being a blurry limit between fun streetable and not. my friend just got dyno tuned last weekend at 202whp in his boosted D and doesn't even have issues breaking his tires(which are balding cheap tires on steelies)

vitara pistons are also a very cheap option. and that'll hold you up to your 300whp limit

goodluck!

suzuki grand vitara, not sure if the vehicle is available where you live or not. compression will be roughly 8.5. guy over on e-hatch is running vitara pistons/eagle rods with an engine brace and that is all he has for internals on his y7 block and is running 15psi. not a bad setup, 237whp and 198lb/ft and he is still waiting on things like turbo rebuild(starting to get shaft play) and a wideband to finish tuning.

agreed

Im currently using a t4 turbo with 38mm external waste gate venting to atmos with a H/RFL blow off valve ....
as well as the standard 2.5 inch od tube ive a charge air cooler in the front bumper and a big bore down pipe .....? a small point here if u remove one of your back boxes it helps the turbo come up sooner on power ....ive found anyway
and the bonus is its not any louder cause the turbo acts as a muffler
On the electrical side im using a greedy piggyback and so far havent had any problems yet
ive got to up grade my injectors and fit a higher pressure fuel rail valve
during the rebuild apart from that i might fit water injection depending on what presures i can run and when it gets near anything nasty on the engine side of things
