i talked to a mechanic and he said forged pistons are much better for supercharger applications.i know the type s motor is strong but how bullet proof is it has anyone blew up a j32a types motor? and why?

 

honda motors seem to be bullet proof but not the v6 trannys

 

my dad works for honda(he's been there 20 years ) and I worked at Honda for 6 months but I worked on the line that made the CL motor(which is Line 2) (V-6 LINE) I don't remember them every putting Forged in any motors. I inspected the pistons a few times. I don't want to scare you guys but the place that makes you guys and all Honda's piston their dumber than a doorknob. cause I was SUPER SUPER strict on quality when I inspected(cause If i was buying a car that cost maybe 35 grand it better drive,run and everything like a dream) they send pistons that were "pitted", they send pistons that only had one cut for the rings(when they need 2 cuts) and I'd say send em back guys were not taking 2nd rate parts. Then CAPT(who makes the piston) sent someone to talk to me cause I kept on sending back(in my opinion was trash pistons) he said why do you keep sending back these good pistons. I picked up one of their bad pistons I said does this look good to you. (it was pitted) I said how would you feel if lets say you bought a 35 grand new RL and it ran like crap you take it to the dealer and they said they gotta tear down the motor and your without a car for a week. He said oh i thought they could fix it in a a hour or 2. (these guys had no car knowledge) I said no to get to the piston is a good days work.

 

I am interested in some Ultra light weight JE pistons with corwn coating and low friction side wall coated too...

However, I did not start this project yet...

 

Hold on I could have sworn that the Type-S pistons are forged.

man when (and if i do) rebuild my accord(cause it has 200 grand on it)
Wiseco pistons are the only way to go. all the big dogs on the NIRA circuit(which is hard as hell on pistons).
but that's just me:P
