le5 pistons

As we all know the le5 has a 10.4:1 compression ratio, and there aren't any aftermarket pistons made for it. I'm doing a turbo setup on 2.4 g6 and was wondering if the LSJ pistons would work since they have a lower compression ratio.
thanks

No they won't work and yes they do make pistons for the 2.4. Call up weisco i know they do for a fact...a few others do to i believe most just don't have them listed.

LSJ has a different bore then the LE5...pretty much the pistons are just different sizes

LSJ has the same bore as 2.2 I would think, so maybe its pistons fit into that motor.

you can buy forged pistons and rods for the LE5 in 9.5:1. that is all.

Are there any to raise the compression? Thinking of keeping my 2.4 NA so raising the compression would be a big boost too?

do you want to run alcohol or 109 octane fuel or what? you can get custom pistons for around $800 or less. whatever compression you want.

Custom pistons from wiseco are $125 each, and $100 for rings. Talk to them.

I have the wiseco pistons in my car. Work great especially if you plan on running high boost. Very high quality product.
