How Many Miles Forged Pistons Last
 
Hi to all,

Just after some info regarding how long Mahle forged pistons last for, as in mileage
before replacing?
Car being 2.5 WRX full engine rebuild.

Thanks

Marc :)

Engine rebuilt by Thwaites in 2017, with 6k miles since rebuild.

Car has VF43 turbo, and STi top mount intercooler.

Just an update, car running 313bhp with 5 speed box.

Mainly used at weekends, maximum 5k miles a year.

The pistons should last the life of the engine, just keep your car maintained and use decent fuel and all should be well mate

lets not forget to mention using the correct oil is a major contributor to the life span of the engine

The forged pistons should be changed out every 10k miles at every service generally.

No worries, will post up some pics of the bike, don't have many photo's, but be lots more when the weather gets warmer,
more of a fair weather rider to be honest, but still go out with friends if a nice sunny day, what bikes have you had Zany? :)
