CP Piston & Ring Set for Nissan VR38DETT - Bore (96.0mm) - Size (+0.5mm) - CR (9.0) Set of 6

If you're rebuilding the engine in your Nissan GT-R or a similar VR38DETT-powered vehicle, especially for a performance build, a strong set of pistons is crucial. This CP Pistons set is built for those demanding applications where reliability and power are paramount. These aren't just replacement parts; they're designed to handle the increased stress and heat that come with modified engines.

CP Pistons are well-known for their forged construction, and this set is no different. Forged pistons start as a solid block of aluminum alloy that's heated and hammered into shape under immense pressure. This process creates a much stronger and more durable piston than cast ones, making them ideal for high-horsepower engines. This particular set features a 96.0mm bore, which is a +0.5mm oversize, meaning it's intended for engines that have been bored out to match. The compression ratio is set at 9.0:1, a common target for boosted applications that balances power with the ability to run safely on pump or race fuel. The set includes pistons and rings for all six cylinders, ensuring a complete engine build.

When installing these pistons, it's important to ensure your engine block has been properly machined to the specified 96.0mm bore size. Proper cylinder wall preparation and ring gap setting are critical for performance and longevity. Always refer to the manufacturer's detailed installation instructions for precise specifications and procedures. This set is a solid option for anyone looking to build a robust VR38DETT engine.
