Our pistons, NA and Turbo, are the shitz!

Post by douglas vincent »

I have torn down 4 ish different motor (see, I said different, not the 3-4 times of my own :lol: ), in the past year or so. Only one, mine after boosting the NA, has shown any SIGNIFICANT wear on either the pistons or cylinders. And they all had 175k to 220 k on the engines.

I pulled the pistons on my junkyard ej22t score tonight. Out of 4 cylinders, ONE has a single small line. All the hatch marks are still there. The pistons are in great shape with no scuff marks to speak of on the skirts. I am amazed.

So, plain and simple, those 90-94 engines KICK ASS!
