Exclamation Where can I find high compression pistons?

I just recently got screwed over by a guy that I was supposed to receive "high compression pistons" from. Does anyone know where I can get some for a good price? Its for a 1993, DOHC 240sx. It would help me out a lot. Thanks!

High compression SOHC KA pistons. You'll run 11.1:1 or 11.6:1. I'm thinking it's the first compression ratio though.

actually you get the high compression numbers from the stock low compression sohc pistons.

89 was like 8.8:1 IIRC and 90 was 9.0:1? i gotta check those doesnt sound right. drop em in a DOHC and ur done. but id get some forged ones and beef up the rods to be safe

I heard that if I had 11:1 or 11:6 compression that I would need race fuel or that my engine would detinate. I'm just learning about all this, so its all kind of new and I am trying to figure it all out. Where can I find Stanza Pistons?
Thanks everyone!!

matt what are the differences between the stanza pistons and the 240 sohc pistons. both ka24e, were stanza's different type of build as far as cast or forged go? or were they different compression from the rwd blocks? j/w
