    why are forged pistons used for this NA build?

    http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2682719/1

    they're not specific on the engine, but i was watching the show at the time and it was a B series.
    why did they use forged pistons for the NA engine, everyone says there are no gains from it and it's only for boost.

      not that they were forged pistons but probably domed pistons.

      higher compression = power.

        couldn't the same dome-top pistons be cast and do the job?

          forged is lighter, more rigid and stronger.

            yea, and you are already paying 200 for factory high domes and that doesnt even come with rings.

              Forged pistons are stronger, which applies to high revs the same way it does boost.

              Added strength = added durability.

                  the answer is simple...

                  an NA B16 is not going to get to 220whp on any stock cast pistons... no matter how much you punch it out.

                        the reason they used them is because its a built motor. once there is more air in a cylinder than factory, factory pistons can crack or blow. forged pistons are 10x stronger than factory, the can handle extreme pressure, and their alot lighter which helps out the crank.

                        moved onto volvos. dont know how that happened, just did

                          so if i actually built up my f22 like that, then using forged pistons wouldnt be a bad idea...

                              it's just that people say it's pointless unless you are running boost or high compression
                              i dont plan on either, lol
