On a proper build and tune with good fuelā¦ā¦..1000whp+ on 4032ās and 1500+ On 2618ās.How much power are both of these pistons rated at ?
Ok I will just not sure if theyāll let me make the change. How much of a warm up ? I warm my car up regularly. I drive it when the rpmās settle and longer than that in the winter. Again, sorry guys Iām only asking things that may seem dumb only because I really donāt know much at all about these partsPistons are not rated by power, at least I have never seen that. Both will work. I'd ask brenspeed if you are concerned about longevity. Be honest about how you will drive it. Some guys let them warm up then take off some start them and go.
Whichever short block you purchase, trust what they choose to put in it for pistons. Most customers donāt even ask anyway. Both are FAR better than stock castings by far.Ok I will just not sure if theyāll let me make the change. How much of a warm up ? I warm my car up regularly.

Thatās awesome. What part of the built motor do you think is the weakest ? I was told that the boss springs are weak & im going to have them swap those if they allow it. Other than the springs what would grenade next ?On a proper build and tune with good fuelā¦ā¦..1000whp+ on 4032ās and 1500+ On 2618ās.
However, both have gone much higher.
Yeah I definitely wouldnāt have known at all lol until I hear the noise of it getting loose in the cylinder lol I wouldnāt mind a diesel sound I love the diesel sound.Whichever short block you purchase, trust what they choose to put in it for pistons.

This. Just make sure they know what it will be used for, then relax and enjoy it.Whichever short block you purchase, trust what they choose to put in it for pistons.
Nothing will be weak.Thatās awesome. What part of the built motor do you think is the weakest ? I was told that the boss springs are weak & im going to have them swap those if they allow it. Other than the springs what would grenade next ?
Like I said, generally you wonāt hear it.Yeah I definitely wouldnāt have known at all lol until I hear the noise of it getting loose in the cylinder lol I wouldnāt mind a diesel sound I love the diesel sound.
you can build your diesel however you want. not my job to hold your hand. everyone here is old enough to decide for themself. the shortblock is not built for its element. listen or don't listen don't careAgain, we going back 40 years?
Hmmm, I never had a piston manufacturer be "quite clear" that 4032 pistons will have longer piston life than 2618's. Just who was the maker that made that claim? And what was their definition of a longer life?
I also never knew anyone who cursed their 2618's for wearing out too fast, and then switched to 4032's.
Iāve ran 2618ās in 4-5 40+K mile builds in the last 28 years. None of them sounded like diesels or only ālastedā 20K miles. My current 2618ās have ALMOST zero slap on cold start. Most people donāt hear itā¦. .0045ā PTW.
on a proper tune the stock pistons can handle 1000+On a proper build and tune with good fuelā¦ā¦..1000whp+ on 4032ās and 1500+ On 2618ās.

Correct. How long is the question......on a proper tune the stock pistons can handle 1000+
