CP Piston & Ring Set for Toyota 3SGTE - Bore (86.0mm) - Size (STD) - Compression Ratio (9.0)

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1988-1992 Toyota Celica, especially if you're looking to get more performance out of that 3SGTE powerplant, a strong set of pistons is fundamental. This forged piston and ring set from CP Pistons is built to handle the demands of a performance engine build. They come in a standard bore size of 86.0mm, perfect for a fresh rebuild or a slight overbore, and feature a 9.0:1 compression ratio. This compression ratio is a solid choice for many performance applications, offering a good balance between power and pump gas drivability.

CP Pistons are well-known in the performance world for their robust construction. These pistons are forged from high-strength aluminum alloy, which is significantly stronger and more durable than cast aluminum. This forging process creates a denser, more uniform grain structure, making the pistons resistant to deformation and cracking under high cylinder pressures and temperatures. The included rings are also selected to work seamlessly with the pistons, ensuring proper sealing for optimal compression and oil control. This set is designed as a direct fit for the 3SGTE engine, simplifying installation for your engine builder.

When undertaking a performance engine build like this, it's always a good idea to have a complete set of engine components ready. Ensure you have all the necessary gaskets, bearings, and other internal engine parts before you begin assembly. This piston set is a critical component for anyone aiming to build a reliable and powerful 3SGTE engine.
