Anyone know where to get a set of 6mge pistons?
If so, approx how much?
Are the early 8.8 5mge pistons the same? or the 5me pistons?
Thanks

i doubt the 5me flycuts would be in the right spot being SOHC, and you might run into compression hieght problems with 5mge pistons as the stroke length is going to be different - and that difference in height has to be taken up by either the rod, the piston, or the deck height (and it aint the deck height).
given the lack of data available from manufacturers in this regard, would be a lot easier if you had one out, and could measure it 
cheers

But the early 8.8c/r 5mges were flat top, and the 6mges are flat top
Still no chances there?
Has anyone got a 6mge piston measured?

Do a search on the CelicaSupra forums, this topic comes up fairly often.
