Any particular reason why every k24 build I've read, mainly in the states , they seem to swap out the Pistons .
I'm just planning at the moment taking hints and tips from them but will I need to swap them out ? Not planning on ridiculous power , just streetable power .
 
Some k24's (likely the most common ones in the states) have a fairly low compression ratio (9.6:1) so would need after market Pistons to raise the compression in order to make good power.

You want a k24a3 which is a 10.5:1 iirc this will be ample with a type r cam and vtc gear or head swap

Makes sense, :thanks:;)
