The crowns are hard anodised, the same thing they do to top fueller pistons I have had them in all my motors(not just rb's), and run 23-24psi in them for a pump fuel street tune in both setups. 378rwkw so far in the rb30 for street tune, going to lean on it harder soon and try for around 420rwkw. cheers darren

"hypatec" is a brand name, the type of pistons are hyperuretic (i think its spelt right) and i thought they were ceramic coated??? if i had of known they were that good i wouldnt have spent $1600 odd dollars on JE forgies

I was contemplating using these but i was turned iff a little bit because i thought of compression (i have no idea weither it would change the compression) but i was in a rush and got a qoute for hypertech 30et pistons which i gather would have a lower comp, which piston type are you reffering 30e?? and what is the comp cheers

What is the manufacturer's recomended piston to bore clearance? and what have you been running them at in your motors Stone Racing? Can these piston come in any other comp ratio other than the 7.8 or 7.1 you mentioned? I've been trying to track down a comp ratio of approx 8.5 for use in a relative stock RB30ET. Cheers MiniVL

Im running these, JetR31 is running these (380rwkw) no problems. Theyre fine as long as you dont detonate the mofos....same as any piston. JetR31 has used these with much success in their 5K Corolla motor aswell which withstood fair abuse including some detonation....cheap and reliable for most Street type motors. Mine were made by 'Precision'.
