anyone know the product number for 8:5 venolia pistons or a link.. thanks
What motor? It helps if you fill out your profile as well if you're refering to yourself needing the pistons.
I personally have never heard anyone around here have or mention anything about Venolia pistons...most use Wiseco or JE if anything.
By the way, here is their website:

2.4l .... they dont list by make model....

I'm not even sure if they make them for the 2.4, I believe they are more import related or atleast in the magazines they talk more torwards imports.
If you really need some pistons and you want it that low of 8.5:1 or any other compression, contact Karo @ Car Customs and he can get them for you.

Event has those in his car. Flat toped too

Cavalier Connection, now J-Tuners, also had about 20 sets of Venolia pistons for the 2.2. I went with Venolia because of the price, they were able to make and ship the pistons sooner than anyone else, and they held up to the abuse on Mike Karas's 2.4.

ohh .. would you know which ones does mike have ? what part number. and whats the difference between wiseco and venolia .. just price ?
I dont know the part #. Try calling up there and have them look up his specs. I think the pistons had a compression ratio around 8:5:1.
I have heard that Venolia makes one of the most "heaviest" pistons.

I will be ordering from them also. I sent in my specs sheet and all and just waiting for a phone call back. By the way, Rocky (cookie monster); for those j-body retro guys out there will know who I am talking about, has them in his car also. Can't remember how much power it made, but was fast then.
Time to get it going again.....
He had them with the 2.4 Sc on his 2.3 right?

Mike Karas
And for the 2.2...
Event (as mentioned above)

Tony Gibson (if anybody remembers him)
Thanks Shifted...

They seemed lighter then the Wiseco pistons that SpeedRacerZ put in his block
hmmmm......

I was actually told by two techs from Total Seal not to go with Venolia because they make one of the heaviest pistons out there.
I have also heard that the Venolia pistons expand less than most other forged pistons.

Adler how much did you pay for those pistons you got there??? I just want to compare the price that Dale @ Venolia gave me, if you don't mind.
Time to get it going again.....
Those were $350 back in May of 2003....3.524 inch pistons, pin fit, pin oilers, spiral locks, offset pin holes, and .812 X 2.500 full floating wrist pins (larger than stock for the 2.2).
For some reason Mike's 2.4 pistons that he bought from Venolia in 2001 were cheaper than the 2.2s that I bought 2 years later.
I know that his pistons didnt have those 3 grooves along the side of the skirt. Or maybe I had more options added to my pistons than his.

I have them....first ones ever made for a jbody....i sent my stock pistons to them for them to make.....
hurmmm something else.. why is getting a lower compression pistons better ? i see my brothers srt4 running 8.1:1 (2.4L) and my brothers in laws wrx sti is 8.2:1(2.5L).
Lower compression is better for boosted application's.

lower compression is better for boost because it allows you to use lower octane gas.. the effective compression ratio isn't as high which means no detonation with lower octane gas.
it is also easy to tune the air/fuel and timing with lower compression. also the lost power from the lower compression can be made up with higher boost pressure. (but this also increases effective compression ratio, so you got to be careful with the fuel being used)
higher compression is going to give you more low end torque. it also will give you near the same amount of power with less boost, but consquently its harder to tune and gives you higher EGT's

I've actually heard that they expand more than most...
Also, I believe Weisco pistons are forged
steel, not aluminum, hence the weight.

Its been 3 years so forgive me. But I am forsure that Total Seal said that Venolia makes heaviest.

hurmmmmm... one more thing i see that there is pistons that you have to bore your block .020 or .040 over what is this for ? does it have to do anything with the compression ratio ? for example is it possible to have an 8:5 compression with .020 over or even just stock bore ? sorry ive read but i really dont oderstand what the bigger bore is for ... .
