And a "setup pic" of the internals .. :D

They are not too expensives, CP charges around 135$USD per piston depending of options (rings, pin, pin fit, pin lock).

This will give me 8:1 CR with my Leg TT heads (or WRX heads), instead of the 7.3:1 - 7.5:1 the stock pistons would have given on my setup.

I drop them at the machineshop tomorrow morning.. Overbore, Balancing, not sure for the re-assembly yet.... but hopefully i'll have everything ready by the end of the week.. :D

Good choice on pistons! CP is quality.

If I ever decided to build up the EJ22T I'd raise the CR to ~9.0:1

91 Mazda Miata
