Kris and I did a lot of research on 3S-GTE forged pistons and decided to go with CP. My engine builder, who had previously fitted JE pistons exclusively in his engine builds, used CP's in my build for the first time. He used them in other builds subsequently and was very pleased with the results. CP are part of the Pankl group of companies which makes Carrillo con rods and supply many motor sport teams.
