CP Piston & Ring Set for Toyota 5SFE/3SGTE - Bore (86.5mm) - Size (+0.5mm) - CR (9.0) - Set of 4

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1988-1992 Toyota Celica, especially if you're aiming for more power or restoring a high-mileage powerplant, a set of high-performance pistons like these from CP Pistons is a critical component. These pistons are specifically sized at 86.5mm with a +0.5mm oversize, meaning they're intended for an engine block that has been bored out to match this dimension. They feature a 9.0 compression ratio, which is a common target for builds that might see forced induction or simply want a bit more grunt from a naturally aspirated setup.

CP Pistons are well-known in the performance engine building world for their robust construction and attention to detail. These are forged pistons, which means they start from a solid block of aluminum that's heated and hammered into shape. This process creates a much stronger and more durable piston than cast aluminum, making them ideal for engines that will be pushed harder than stock. The included rings are also matched to ensure a proper seal between the piston and cylinder wall, which is essential for compression, oil control, and overall engine health. This set is designed for the Toyota 5SFE and 3SGTE engines, common in performance applications for the Celica and MR2 models of this era.

When installing these pistons, remember that they are an oversize part, so your engine block will need to be professionally machined to the 86.5mm bore size. This ensures a precise fit and optimal performance. This set includes all four pistons and their corresponding rings, making it a complete package for one bank of cylinders. Please note that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
