hypatec pistons
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi
I am looking at using the Hastings Hypatec 73mm pistons with chrome top rings
Has anybody got any experience with them for a turbo engine
Thanks

Rod S has them in his car.

I had a set of 73.5mm ones which I bought cheaply and eventually sold on. The looked to be well constructed and had a decent thickness crown.

I think you aren't going for mental power/rpm/boost then they should be fine.

Yes as john says....they are well made for the money.
