LQ4/9 rebuild
I need some help with piston decisions. In December i bough an 05 lq4 that was in a fire. The fire was mostly contained to the cab. However, the engine sat around a while, the previous owner didnt pull the heads and drain the water from putting out the fire. I pulled the engine apart and found some rust in number 1 and 2 and will have to have it punched out to clean it up. I'm not building a all out max effort engine, probably just a stockish rebuild. I want to put the flat top pistons from an lq9 in, for the compression bump, a BTR truck cam, 8.1 injectors, down the road a NNBS intake. What budget friendly pistons are out there?
I dont have a "number" for my budget, I just dont want to spend a grand on pistons either.
I'm also rebuilding a t56 to go behind the new engine. My truck is a 04 rcsb. The ultimate goal is a fun driver and something i can use to do the open road races/autocross/track days/hill climb events around the nation. Thanks for the advice.
