First off why would you buy these to replace a working set of pistons?
2nd off. No such thing as better. Suitable for application X is the correct mentality.
Third, regardless of price. It is another option.

For the guys crapping in this thread: ENOUGH already.
The information is there if you can't understand what it all means no one is going to educate you on it if you're someone that buys on price alone.
Stick with your piston of choice run it and make any future decisions on what you learn after actually using them.
ROSS: off the shelf are big heavy dumb slugs that can take a HUGE amount of abuse without failure and this is why in the past I've recommended them and used them in friends builds.
JE's: Very light and I suspect a bit delicate but in use so far have been faultless but I "feel" if I subjected them to the same abuse as my old Ross set they would die quickly.
TITAN: Haven't used them but the specs look good and being able to have the higher compression will appeal to some people and are another alternative for people not building on a tight budget.
PROBE: There's NO data or anecdotal evidence available yet as very few have their builds finished/making good power so like the Titan's no one can say how well they're going to stand up.
There are a lot of builds that have used the other available pistons with varying degrees of sucess ie: Wiseco,Arias,CP and so on but in the end tune is king and even the best pistons WILL fail if abused.
Also look at the domes.
The Probe is -20 CC's and Arias is -16CC's thats a slight difference in compression. (Yes the probe says -17CC's on the side, that's wrong and i've informed Probe about it)
The Titan seems to be a high compression piston. I'd love to know the dome dish.

its hard to compare the physical charactersistics when you cant see the actual pistons... because those 2j pistons have NO dish. haha
Bottle - as soon as the pistons arrive at my place, I will take a lot of pics and post them here also.bottle;1004621 said:
The Titan 7mgte pistons will be listed for 699.00 to start and will include rings and pins. The price will likely go up after this initial 9 set run. They are pre-selling fast. STD, .020 and .040 are still available.
Just to let everyone know we are going to be releasing a lot more parts for the mk3 this year.
So if you continue to buy Titan products you are helping to show us there is a market for more and more parts.

everything with my build is all Titan Sean knows me well actually waiting for him to pick up his phone now, DARN HOLD!
When do you think you'll get the pictures up? im really interested to see them...
and on a side note...
I just got my bearings from titan!!!!
I find it pretty hard to get customer service like i received... any time i called in, they had a REAL answer for my questions, none of that "oh i think were getting it tomorrow... but not sure"... there was none of that.
Driftmotion FTW
Titan FTW
Suprarich FTW
Those 3 own all. haha

Well we had a problem with the pics we took, if we can recover them we will have them up tomorrow.
If not Suprarich bought the entire batch and those are on the way to him. So either have them tomorrow or by the end of the week when Rich gets his shipment.

Very nicely finished!
Pity the 7M guys quibbled about the Coating costs.
What was the dish volume again?
(looks too deep in the pics to be 9:1)

We can do the coated version we just have to have a few people give us a deposit and we can get them in about 2 weeks ready to ship.
