CP Piston & Ring Set for Nissan VQ35DE - Bore (95.5mm) - Size (Standard) - Compression Ratio (8.5)

When you're rebuilding the heart of your 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 or Nissan 350Z, starting with a solid set of pistons is key. This set from CP Pistons includes six forged pistons and the necessary rings to match, all designed for the Nissan VQ35DE engine. They're built to handle the demands of a performance build, offering a standard bore size of 95.5mm and a compression ratio of 8.5:1, which is a good starting point for boosted applications or a more robust naturally aspirated setup.

CP Pistons are well-known in the performance engine building world for their strength and precision. These aren't your typical cast pistons; they're forged from high-grade aluminum alloys, making them significantly stronger and more durable. This means they can withstand higher cylinder pressures and temperatures compared to cast pistons, which is crucial if you're planning on adding a turbocharger, supercharger, or simply want a more reliable engine for spirited driving. The 8.5:1 compression ratio is a smart choice because it leaves room for boost without causing excessive detonation on pump gas, and it's also a comfortable ratio for a naturally aspirated engine that sees hard use.

This set comes with the pistons and the rings needed to install them, simplifying your parts sourcing. Remember that these pistons are intended for performance builds, and proper engine assembly, balancing, and tuning are essential to get the most out of them and ensure long-term reliability. Due to emissions regulations, this part cannot be shipped to California.
