CP Piston Nissan SR20VE/VET - Bore 86.5mm - Comp Ratio 9:1

This is a set of CP Pistons forged pistons specifically made for the Nissan SR20VE and SR20VET engines. These pistons are designed to replace your stock ones with a bore size of 86.5mm and a compression ratio of 9:1. This setup is ideal for builders looking to handle increased boost or higher RPMs than the factory components can safely manage.

CP Pistons are well-known for their robust construction, and these are no exception. They are forged from high-strength aluminum alloy, which gives them a solid foundation to withstand the extreme pressures and temperatures found in performance-tuned engines. The 9:1 compression ratio is a popular choice for forced induction applications, offering a good balance between power output and detonation resistance when paired with forced induction. The PVD coating on these pistons is a notable feature, designed to reduce friction between the piston skirt and cylinder wall, which can lead to improved ring seal and potentially longer engine life under demanding conditions.

When rebuilding an SR20VE or SR20VET engine with these pistons, it's important to ensure all supporting components are up to the task. This includes proper balancing of the rotating assembly, quality connecting rods, and a well-tuned engine management system. Remember that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for precise clearances and assembly procedures.
