Turbo Coupe Pistons

[TurboCoupeWHITT]

i was wondering if the 87 TUrboCoupe comes already with forged pistons ...cause many ppl say they do amny say they dont... and ppl think the Talons has them just cause its turbo ........... but they dont ..... so i was wondering if they do or dont and also where is a good site to get a set of good forged pistons for my turbo coupe around 30 to 40 over ....

All the turbo engines had forged pistons stock, but if you need oversize pistons you'll have to look at some aftermarket ones like Diamond or JE.

Yes, they are forged...

Why bore it over so far? Trying to weaken the block or what?

Boring out the 2.3 block is a bad idea.

I'm not speaking from personal experience, but I'm learning from others misfortune and passing my knowledge onto you.

By the way, who are "all these people that say the turbocoupes came withOUT forged pistons?"

what kind of t3? if its a "stock" t3 you dont need an external wastegate.

and ppl think the Talons has them just cause its turbo ........... but they dont .....

sorry...Eagle Talon, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Chrysler Laser all have forged pistons in the turbo models...just like the Ford 2.3L. The factory ain't stupid enough to build them with cast pistons.

Not a stock T3 there is no wastgate acuatr

Um. What kinda T3 are you talking about? Ford T3's had internal wastegates.

Also if you're wanting to put a T3 on your turbo coupe you gotta get a different oil return line.

Your posts are confusing.
