CP-Carrillo offers over 700 shelf pistons featuring Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM and many others for your street or powersports application. All our pistons and rods are designed through extensive research and development with the cooperation of some of the biggest names in motorsports.
Highly advanced and refined process, researched, developed and tested for years with high end OE companies, significantly increases the durability of a part by reducing the stresses in the pin bore area. Instead of honing the pin bores, specific machines and processes, developed by CP-Carrillo, enable us to put different shapes and forms inside this area that allows the pin to flex while removing stress from this area. Since the pin bore is one of the most stressed areas of the piston, high end racers and OE’s now require that this process be a part of their program. Although this specialized and expensive technology has been around at CP-Carrillo for years, we have now found a way to offer this on select parts in 2016 at a competitive price. Throughout our development and testing of this, we have been able to drastically increase the durability on parts while continually exceeding horsepower requirements.
These kits are available of the shelf and include a MX style piston, DLC Pin, Carrillo connecting rod and a Cometic EST gasket. These kits have been thoroughly tested and offer you a cost effective way to get the most out your projects. These kits come in standard bore sizes and accommodate stock stroke crankshafts allowing racers to remain legal in stock displacement classes.
In addition to CP-Carrillo kits we also offer CPK and CPKX kits for all of our catalog applications. We have arranged the pricing so that it is more beneficial to buy a kit then to buy the components separate. Kit includes: piston, pin, locks, rings and gasket. In 2009, we tested the market with these kits and the response was overwhelming. Customers like the added value that these kits offer as well as the availability and simplicity when ordering. All of these kits come complete in one package, making shipping and storing easy.
CP-Carrillo offers two kinds of 4 stroke : standard “M” kits and “MX” kits. The main difference between these parts is that the MX kits are a fully boxed style part with skirt coating. These pistons took about 2 years to develop – it actually started with Ricky Carmichael. These MX kits will come standard with DLC.
Project X for competitive street bikes / Powersport applications – off the shelf fully boxed pistons for a variety of street bike and Powersport applications. CP Pistons fully boxed forgings are designed to minimize friction and reduce weight without compromising piston strength. CP adjust the weight balance between the high and low areas of the piston during the forging process and incorporates bracing and ribs for near unbeatable strength. The inherent design of CP Piston’s X forgings allow for the use of a shorter pin which increases strength and overall lightness of the assembly.
CP-Carrillo also offers a wide variety of products made specifically for you application. Each piston and rod is designed using sophisticated 3-D modeling software and manufactured with advanced techniques making you piston and rod the lightest and strongest on the market. See custom section for more details.
Millenium oversize cylinders are available for certain applications. See cylinder chapter under catalog section for more information.
Cometic gasket kits are available for all shelf parts. See gasket chapter under catalog section for more information. Gasket kits are listed in the catalog to correspond with your application.
Leading name in high performance piston and connecting rod production, CP-Carrillo has been the pre- eminent symbol of performance and prestige for over half a century. This rich background enables us to maintain an extensive library of product history and specifications. Many restoration engine builders tap in to our piston and rod resources of design and engineering knowledge.
Everyone wants the optimum performance and durability from their engine. Custom pistons and connecting rods assure that you get all the unique performance advantages from your engine while being engineered to last. Despite carrying one of the most comprehensive inventories of off-the-shelf pistons in the industry, CP-Carrillo’s foundation has been designing and manufacturing some of today’s most sophisticated custom racing pistons and connecting rods. As you partner with us to design your piston and rod, we can present drawings with detailed specs and incorporating all of your requirements. Our production process is designed to be flexible and accommodating, producing custom pistons on average 3 weeks or less and custom rods in 5 weeks or less. We also offer an expedite service for a small fee.
“CP-Carrillo - a legacy of craftsmanship striving to achieve that elusive goal of design perfection”.
Our piston forgings accommodate European Vintage Racing and their demand for long Compression Heights and larger Pin Bosses. These pistons are custom and made per customers specifications.
Standard features include, but are not limited to:Accumulator Grooves, Double Forced Pin Oiling, Skirt Milling, Plunged Pockets, Twice Turned Ring Grooves, Standard Broaching, In-process Inspection and a Final Inspection. Depending on the application, the forgings are X-Style (Forged Side Relief) or Full Round, where a Side Relief is machined.
Additional features available upon request:Mirror Image 3D Under-head Milling/Lightening, 3D Kellered Dome Tops for Max Compression (Cylinder Head required) Kellered Edges/Blending Custom Lathe Features/Programs, Level 2/3 Inspection
Vintage & European Custom Made Connecting Rods
Additionally, we can customize any versions of our catalog part numbers to suit your requirements. Check with our knowledgeable sales staff for assistance.
More recently CP-Carrillo has started manufacturing pistons to complement our existing Connection rod line of Diesel products.
CP-Carrillo is an innovated company, not afraid to think outside the box. We work with our customers to achieve that optimum balance of performance, durability and longevity in our piston and connecting rod design. Such is the case with our NEW Hybrid Combinations:
Duramax 1.946 Comp Height. Duramax 1.358 pin size with this combo we can make a .856 longer rod due to our decreased compression height. This equates to roughly 2lbs removed per piston and connecting rod assembly. Quicker revving, more power, better rod-to-stroke ratio which help reduce load off the cylinder wall.
This hybrid combo features a .202 shorter Comp height than our stock rod length shelf piston and includes a Top Fuel Pin 1.156. 1.744 Comp Height Longer rod and shorter compression height yields a better rod-to-stroke ratio which help reduce load off the cylinder wall. Being it is in a lighter package compared to the stock Duramax package.
Shelf options: 4.055, 4.075, 4.095 Comp height 1.946, 1.936 to allow you to deck block Comp Ratio: 15:1 & 16:1
Ring pack consists of 2.0mm x 2.0mm x 3.0mm conventional Top Ring Steel Gas nitride, cast second, two piece Oil. Tight piston to wall clearance. Offering a better ring seal, thus more power. These are made on dedicated purpose built forgings that match the Carrillo rod with taper pin boss span. These shelf pistons are rated for 1,200 hp or less and we are in the process of making pistons that will handle 2,000 hp.
All our Diesel pistons include anodized ring Grooves and entire anodized piston to protect the piston from severe heat. The high cylinder pressures and increased temperatures inherent to a diesel engine cause the top groove to become worn out, losing its dimensional stability ( flatness of ring grove) and eventually decreasing the ability of the top ring to seal the combustion pressures. Anodizing in the top groove increases its life
CP-Carrillo also offers a complete line of racing pistons and rods for domestic engines that can be purchased right off the shelf. These popular inventoried pistons and rods are manufactured with the same rigorous inspection criteria as our custom pistons and rods but are available for same day shipping. Included below is a list of standard features that would apply to our extensive domestic shelf line of over 1000 combinations.
