5e-fhe pistons... Turbo friendly?

[MS-75]

If you have a side elevation picture of the pistons I can tell you how strong they are likely to be.

Now that makes sense with everything I've seen. Thanks!

I assume you are talking about CP 5efe Forged pistons?

The same is true for both stock and aftermarket pistons. Except for the 5E-FHE pistons. I am yet to find an aftermarket one of those.

Piston on the left.



1st Ring land is a reasonable distance away from the crown.

If you want a better side elevation pic, let me know and I'll try to find one.

Actually, here is a better pic...

A lot of knowledgeable guys on there with E series experience.

Crown thickness and ringlands look really good, however those valve reliefs aren't so good. Those are likely to be the weak points if you get it into a lean condition. I'd say the margin may be a little slim for the HP you're chasing.

For that HP, I'd assume you are looking at decent rods as well? Those stock rods look terrible - they'll banana no question at all.

The stock 5E-HFE rods are stronger than the 4E-FTE rods which are good for a decent amount of power.

A better pic I just took of a 5E-FHE piston.

The stock 5E-HFE rods are stronger than the 4E-FTE rods which are good for a decent amount of power.

Maybe, but not 100+hp per rod.

No, but remember it is a 1.5L engine.
The HFE rods can get decent numbers for a engine of that capacity.
