hey guys what size are standard pistons on a x16xe? is 79mm ok without boring it out? will forged pistons make much difference with other things done obviously?
thanks

79mm is standard bore size, depending on the condition and roundness of the bores (they tend to go oval due to piston skirt wear) best bet is get a 0.5 or 1mm overbore and get a piston to match.

forged pistons usually have a higher compression ratio to improve performance and can handle much higher temperatures. they also usually come with deeper valve pockets for use with bigger cams.
