Billet and forged parts might share the same material DNA, but the way they're made determines their performance under ...

Eric Davis, via email: I have a question about pistons. I understand that forged pistons are stronger than cast pistons and should generally be used whenever nitrous or boost is involved, but I'm ...

Unless you rebuilding an engine with little to no budget you're going to upgrade to aluminum forged pistons. Besides being stronger than cast pistons, the lighter aluminum cuts parasitic power loss.

It’s commonplace these days to read a classified ad of a restomod or a heavily tuned vehicle and see that some engine parts have been replaced by forged internals. But why is that better? Donut Media ...

Unless you’re the reincarnation of Smokey Yunick, you probably don’t know everything about engines or building them. That’s just fine, because few people do—and even those who build them for a living ...

Engineered using the OEM CAD models to clear the OEM piston cooling oil jets and crankshaft reluctor wheel of the LSA engine, the Lingenfelter LSA piston and ring kit will also work alongside ...

While they're not quite ready for production, the printed parts were lighter, ran cooler and unlocked more power than the standard forged pistons. Antuan started out in the automotive industry the old ...

Just as we debate which truck manufacturer is the best—engineers debate which material is the best. When it comes to diesel pistons, right now it’s hard to tell which material (aluminum or steel) will ...

Each modification to a car's engine exposes a new weak point. Maybe it's insufficient injector flow or poor-breathing heads, or it's a crankshaft has the same approximate rigidity as a Twinkie.
