The difference between a cast and forged piston is the way it is made. A cast piston is made by pouring or injecting molten aluminum into a mold and letting it cool. A forged piston is made by ramming a die into a hot but not quite molten ingot of aluminum in a mold under great pressure (20+ tons!) The extreme pressure created in the forging causes the metal to be denser and have a uniform grain, making it much stronger and less brittle. There is more to making forged pistons than just the different manufacturing process, they often start with a stronger alloy such as 4032 or 2618 aluminum. Cast pistons are high in silicon content, which makes them dimensionally stable under high temperatures, but brittle. Forgings have a low silicone content and thus "grow" (expand) more when hot, but offer much improved strength and resiliency .
forged pistons or no in a lti 1995 camaro
they do not come stock with forged pistons, no probe gt does. You will have to buy them and install by yourself
yes it dose have ( trw ) one eye brow forged pistons !!!! cant remember about the crank... Yes it is a steel crank.
Nope
Yes
You didn't specify for what part but in general pistons- forged- Aluminum alloy crankshaft -billet or forged 4340 steel connecting rods- forged/billet 4340 steel, or titanium, Aluminum(for drag racing only)
Crankshafts are usually always forged for strength. Connecting Rods and pistons are usually always cast in normal consumer vehicles. Race and High Performance vehicles have very exacting designs and are usually built differently.
They are the same as the EJ22 4 cylinder pistons. They can be purchased from numerous aftermarket resellers if you want forged pistons. Cast pistons would be from the dealer, if even still available.
Any vehicle can be turbocharged, even dirt bikes/motorcycles. How much boost you can run varies on the motor, compression ratio, cast vs. forged pistons, etc.

It is a high performance 396 Chevy engine. It had 375hp, Holley 800, Mechanical Cam / Lifters (500 lift, 316 Duration), Square Port Heads, 11:1 Compression, 4 Bolt Mains, Forged Tuftrided Crank, Forged Pistons, 4.126 x 3.76 Bore & Stroke.
Yes. The blocks are the same. The valve relefs may be a lil off but some guys have been usin det forged parts inside there et's for some time now
