    Default 7MGTE cast piston suppliers????

    I am having trouble finding suppliers of cast pistons for the 7MGTE. I've contacted a number of suppliers, and so far I've only been able to get endurotec (sp?) through precision.
    Has anyone rebuilt one and not gone down the route of putting in forged slugs, and if so, what make piston did you use, and where did you get them??

    Engine is to go in MA71, currently making 300RWHP @ 12psi, with goal being around the 350RWHP mark with the highflow up to 15 or so pound.

    Thanks.

    i've got a set of second hand ones if you get stuck, good condition

    FWIW i just went forgies, can't help sorry. figured while i had it to bits may as well go spastic. i know matty's car melted a cast piston at 15psi, but i think it was crook ignition timing from memory...
