Wiseco Sport Compact Forged Pistons
Our Sport Compact pistons are made from dedicated forgings produced in-house to give you a light weight piston with superior strength and optimal design. Being the multivalve piston technology leader, the line features specially designed valve pockets, complex dome and crown shapes, the steel nitride/napier xx rings and optimized skirt profiles. The pistons come standard with our ArmorGlide® coating material for reduced friction and noise, freeing up horsepower.
Piston Engineering / ArmorGlide™ Coating
Wiseco’s detailed skirt shapes and profiles are very specific to each application. Variable cam programming software developed in house allows Wiseco to produce high-performance shapes unique to only Wiseco. The skirt shape (barrel/cam) is one of the most functional areas on the piston, and provides stability and smooth operation in the cylinder bore. Stability is important for proper ring seal, reduced friction, and quiet operation. Each skirt shape is designed for a specific running clearance, based on coefficient of thermal expansion of the piston alloy. Some forging alloys expand more than casting alloys, but each Wiseco piston is designed with the proper installed clearance to produce the most power, least wear, and best seal at running temperature, for each application. Comparing installed clearances on cast vs forged parts is not indicative of the running clearance at temperature. Wiseco engineers have a strong background in all forms of racing applications, and produce the best shapes and designs in the industry.
Some of our forged pistons offer our new ArmorGlide™ skirt coating, which is the result of testing, development, and benchmarking through Wiseco’s rigorous in-house dyno program. The outcome is the ultimate in skirt coating toughness, lubrication, and bond technology working together to minimize friction, maximize horsepower, and provide improved wear resistance. Not only is ArmorGlide™ a high-tech lubricant that reduces friction, but it also allows the piston to be fitted tighter within the bore allowing a better ring seal and reduced noise from piston rock.

Wiseco Forged Pistons price is almost identical to CP Pistons price but somehow Wiseco gives you a feeling of quality and precision over their products after going through their website and their product lineup. It just feels like you're getting a bigger bang for your buck so I would highly recommend Wiseco for those who want a cheaper option than HKS, Tomei or etc. For more info go to http://www.wiseco.com/Catalogs/Automobile.aspx
Little Updates on my car. Just gotten a used Trust Oil Cooler Kit. Its just been installed behind the intercooler.
If you look properly, you can see the Trust word engraved but I guess Blogger lowers the quality of the pictures a lot so some of you might not see it
Finally my mech changed the driver side headlamp motor and the headlamp now is able to open again. No more One eye blind! The thing that caused the old motor to malfunction is because of a simple thing, guess what? The plastic cover. It didn't have one so sometimes when it rains heavily and the water splashes and on it goes into the motor. I can confirm that because my mech told me that when he took out the old one, all the water came splashing out. LOL
