Nitto Forged Stroker Pistons - Subaru EJ20 - WRX / STI (GC / GD) / Forester (SF / SG) / Liberty GT (BE / BH)
A set of four forged pistons for building an EJ20 out to 2.2 litres with a 79 mm stroker crank. They suit turbo EJ20 engines from the Impreza WRX and STI, Forester GT and Liberty GT, and are aimed at street, drag and circuit builds that need more capacity and response.
One size is listed: a 92.5 mm bore (+0.020") with an 11.5 cc dish, designed for a 130.5 mm connecting rod. Check that your block will clean up at this oversize before ordering.
Nitto pistons are produced by CP Carrillo in California to Nitto's own specification. They are machined from CP's low-silicon 2618 aluminium alloy, and each set comes with a PVD ring set and CP's 9310 steel wrist pins, which are case hardened, cryogenically treated and Rockwell tested.
Note: Installation by a professional is recommended. Engine internals must be measured and set up by a qualified engine builder.
