I'm trying to find anyone who has any experience using topline pistons. I'm running a little more than 300whp on my DD and need to replace the wiseco's I toasted. Trying not to spend $500 on pistons, but will if its needed. Thanks

Would you run them in your setup if your were less than 400hp?

I wouldn't run them in a stock car.
Here is what you want if you want an OEM replacement. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-9...QitemZ160508425785QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_1773wt_941

They are hardly no-name, and I run them because they have been proven to handle the power.
I, as well as other members have them and have no problems.
The only reputation Topline has, is being trash.
If it makes you feel better, you can order the NPR pistons from a vendor and pay twice as much for the exact same thing.

Are you fucking kidding me? $77 pistons? Only reason I would purchase those was for an art project, sure as hell not to put in a turbo car. You are just asking for failure.

I'm not looking for OEM replacements. I am looking to basically keep the same setup I have and run no more than 25 psi. I'm at 16psi right at 300 hp
I guess the question i've asked has been answered. Does anyone have any replacement recomendations other than buying used pistons (no way in hell I'm going to do that) or just anteing up the $500 for new wiseco's
Also, I have a 6 bolt bottom end

Well, you can pay more for them here. http://www.TheDSMGraveyard.com/product_p/pfnpr10-758.htm
I haven't had a failure, and haven't heard anything put people having success with them. I bought them because I needed something because I ran out of time (and spent all my money on machine work and other internal parts) to finish my build.

I just wanted to post up some info on what I found on these pistons when I was researching before I bought them.

NPR is the stock manufacturer for 2G pistons. People have run them over 400whp reliably.

Same thing, only 1G pistons are 7.8:1, and 2G pistons have a slightly beefier side skirt, and raise compression to 8.5:1. Both are equal quality.
