Oh my, what ever shall I do .. I have no choice but to go fully forged now , from top to bottom due to the represented force of detonation .. to ensure the wife and kids get to school and work in a .. safe manner 😗😏
Just from experience if that's a SBC it's still gonna run, not gonna sound good but it will, I have a forged 0.60 piston with a intake valve that broke off and flipped around and went straight through the top of the piston and into the connecting rod and wrist pin, cracked the block on cylinder 7 and completely blew that end of the head off the block, made it the 5 miles home firing on 6 cylinders and never fell below 100mph
I knew forged pistons were stronger than cast, but this really puts it in perspective. It also adds new meaning to pistons breaking in a top fuel engine!
EPA doesn't care about things like longevity, reliability, or emissions related to supply chains needed to support parts that must be made less reliable to fulfill running emissions regulations. Most likely incompetence.
Meanwhile in here the scam of USA dump trucks pour black smoke into the air but we're worried about cold startup emissions... This country is a fucking joke
Now do a semi-solid cast piston. The only ones that exist are marketed as "semi-forged" and they're an OEM upgrade for the 4AGE from Toyota. They're rated for 600hp in that engine. Semi-solid casting is a process where hypereutectic aluminum is heated up until it has a paste-like consistency and then I believe it is high-pressure squeezed into a mold or drop forged or something like that. The end result is a hypereutectic cast piston with an aligned grain structure, giving it the beneficial properties of forging (to a slightly lesser extent) as well as the beneficial properties of a cast piston (no piston slap, no or low blowby, not "warmup" period before safely romping).
@@motoiq I literally said so in the comment. It's a set of factory-available pistons from Toyota for the 4AGE. They're 81mm in bore. They're marketed as "semi-forged" but the actual process is called "semi-solid cast." The ones from Toyota the only ones I know of. I wish the aftermarket had more of them for popular engines at a few different compression ratios. Also for the wheels, I think you're thinking of rotary forged, which is a different process altogether.
No they do exist The issue is that the equipment used to make it is quite expensive to maintain and let alone use. Toyota's the only manufacturer that offers them factory as an upgrade. During the process they were squeezed into a mold under high pressure like he said when they're turned into a paste like consistency. Giving very similar strength to a forged piston while giving you all the benefits of a hypertect it piston. But forged is stronger and can handle way higher temps.
The expansion rates are different so the bore diameter will be a little sloppy for the forged pistons. But after the pistons warm up the clearance is the same.
Forged piston are what blue prints are based off of. That fist motor they make when designing at the factory is made with forged part. They mass produce with cast pieces for affordability. So you are wrong 100 percent.
@@FLORIDAMANIAM-he2lz that doesn't really make any sense becuase casting is cheap to proto type and forged parts are usually ordered based on bore spec for when you are building an engine. I found out later that it does expand slower than cast aluminum
Mike is a very knowledgeable indeed really experienced and explains precisely. Glad he's always been successful with Falken tire FD & other motorsports. Keep it up mike
I've seen quite a few cast pistons burn through the face to the underside right at the mold parting line. Makes me wonder if its concentrating heat at the thin raised line.
Hi Mike from I smoked too much before going to work today. LoL reminds me of that bugs Bunny cartoon where he's a bomb tester hitting all the bombs on the top and letting dud on them
I had bought a "forged" piston for my motorbike a while back and tried to install it with the end of my hammer (plastic handle) but covered it up with a thin cloth rag so I didn't scuff anything. 7 taps in and the center ringland shattered and compression ring bent...then my heart shattered after I realized what happened.

Good man
He did hit that forged piston hard 😂
Same sound as the cast iron so no bs. But wondering which car that forged piston went in. 😂😂
He hit the cast one on the tip
He definitely hit both of them on the edge.
@@Fatboypeet like boosted FA said, both were hit on the edge..

Very nice demo! Love hearing this guy explain stuff he's so chill and approachable.
approachable. he is calm.
I wish I hd masters like him while I am growing up on my profession
I'd call it monotone and boring
@@stilostan-the1st Then watch something else.
Definitely monotone. Makes it more comical though

Moral of the story: don’t fill your gas tank with hammers
Or this guy with the hammer
Moral to the story forged is more resistant to force.

I can’t be the only one that mentally stitched this with that men at work song when he hit it with the hammer, right?
this is exactly how my piston looked after my engine failed. very helpful demo thank you
Moral of the story: Don't leave this man alone with cast pistons.

This guys hilarious 😂
I've fitted many forged pistons, but never tried hitting one on purpose. Never knew they were that much stronger!
I love how straight and simple that man is. Very good representation
😂 great demo, true wisdom🙈
Honestly i was waiting for the elon musk 'cybertruck' moment lol
I knew forged pistons were stronger than cast, but this really puts it in perspective. It also adds new meaning to pistons breaking in a top fuel engine!
Yes forged piston are manufacturing for high strength
Love the evo in the back!
hahahahahaha my daily needs forged too tho, never know when those evil hammers are gonna come knockin
It was a trick getting it past the intake valve.
The small block 350 with 7 pistons driving me home
When the little gremlins with hammers get into your engine.
thank u for the lesson on Forged pistons ❤
Subaru uses forged pistons for their sti in japan, but cast is the us. Because cast pistons get slightly better emissions on startup. Defund the epa.
EPA doesn't care about things like longevity, reliability, or emissions related to supply chains needed to support parts that must be made less reliable to fulfill running emissions regulations. Most likely incompetence.
Subaru also has the ring gap to tight so if it overheats to much it'll break a piston, because cold start emissions.
Meanwhile in here the scam of USA dump trucks pour black smoke into the air but we're worried about cold startup emissions... This country is a fucking joke

Who makes those? I have only heard of wheels made that way. 4032 alloy pistons are something similar.

Straight to the point ☝️
Anyone that has a GTR and Evo in there shop gets my vote.
Got those n my garage
cast piston fits tighter and makes engine run smoother for longer
Why would that be the case? They are Both aluminum and ordered to spec
The expansion rates are different so the bore diameter will be a little sloppy for the forged pistons. But after the pistons warm up the clearance is the same.
Wtf are you talking about. Forged pistons are whatever size you make them. You are like a child in this department dude.

Great video for auto repair students!
I love this video example!
I died at the "look at that" thats a great demo
I should use this an an example to describe detonation in an engine for my customers
Bobby Lee in only a few years 😂
Very well put …straight to the point even a kid can understand 🤪😂🤣
I hope that was a forged piston that was forged out of spec and was going to need some machining.
Yes maching required for forged piston
Haven’t seen you in years
Since behind the smoke episodes on gtfchannel
Glad to see you’re doing well !
Metal is metal. The molecular structure is the FINAL product is the 🗝️
Id like to see you make a piston out of mercury, considering that its also a metal
This is great!!! I love it
note. he clearly said "in a race application". Heat expansion of the forged piston reduces longevity and increases wear over time
Mike is a very knowledgeable indeed really experienced and explains precisely. Glad he's always been successful with Falken tire FD & other motorsports. Keep it up mike
This guy is the best. Always smiling
That evo looks so nice in the background
Cant stop laughing 😂 u are so awesome 👏
I always smile when I think "oh no, engine's not going to run" 😅
Now I just need a forged thumb
That’s impressive! I would not have imagined that much difference
The hammers knocking in the engine again😂
Forged is much more forgiving than cast as I already broke my stock pistons a few years back but have been on forged engines since and they hold up
The best example honestly! The combustion is the most important thing to make a vehicle move.
😂😅 I needed that Stock one my boy …😢😂😂
#HooptieTV
Good thing I don’t have a hammer in my motor
Well demonstrated
Some people dont understand the power of detonation.
Dom: dudes gonna fry his pistons before the finish line
Its the grain structure of the metal, one is pored and one is compressed, the meturagry with a high silica content will prevent expantion seizure
i had a 10mm go down on my b16 but no never a hammer
Looks to me you hit the edge on the first one and the second you hit it on a flat spot you should do this again and hit both in the same spot
I think he hit it the same place but I want to see him just smash them down the center
I've seen quite a few cast pistons burn through the face to the underside right at the mold parting line. Makes me wonder if its concentrating heat at the thin raised line.
Mike is the man!
I'll remember to buy forged pistons next time I plan on hitting the edge of my pistons with a mallet
This guy sounds like hes been smoking the Devils Lettuce 😂
Can't wait for 3d pistons
that will teach that stock crap😂
