Vito's power pistons

[dougersq]

Can anyone give me info on vito's power pistons? Do they hold up in the heat of Dune riding? What do I need to do to my banshee if I use these piston? I'm runing a 1993 T3 Toomeys, open air filter , shaved head,advanced timing and do most of my riding in the Oregon Dunes. any info would be Great. Thanks Doug Q

i would never run anything but wiseco pistons, but thats just me. how much hp are they claiming by using those? i think the money would be better spent with some porting.

I've never tried them.I only use wiseco.They might be ok though.Porting is where the power is really at.You most likely won't pick up much with just pistons.Are you asking because it's time for a rebuild,or just wanting more power?

I run the the Super Stock Pistons and like them. You will see quite a difference in power but I'm sure they don't compare to a good port job.

Just for FYI, all Vito's pistons are produced by Wiseco, so in essence, the Vito's pistons are Wiseco pistons with specs setup by Vitos.

It's time for a new topend it's a 1993 and this will be the 1st time the pistons will be replaced. last time I checked I was running 145psi in each side. It still runs great but it's time for a new topend. my wife can beat me up the dunes now and thats not cool. Thanks Doug

What's your wife riding? 145 isn't bad at all, I'm at about 148 on a fresh topend and 20cc domes.

That's where I'm at too! ... Same numbers on an MX port job. (660 ft)

 

Sure makes for a great motor.

 

Rare.

My wife rides a 1999 banshee. With FMF Fatty pipes and a K&H filter.I picked it up 2 years ago in the spring for a good price with the idea of putting some time and money into it at the end of the summer but on the 1st day of a 2 week trip to the dunes it droped the left piston skrit down into the crank. So I left it down there to be rebuilt and had them weld the crank and shave the head. As she tells people I have 2 banshees and I let her ride one of them if shes nice.

Hmm, funny. I'm at roughly 665', so pretty close there.

my buddy ran them in his banshee and said he will never waste the money on vitos pistons again, says that they made his banshee run way hotter, and after a set of prolite everything was perfect.
