You might be still be able to buy new short blocks from Subaru.

most of the rebuild kits on ebay or other engine kit sites include pistons.  find one and have them double check the compression ratio, or dial down your turbo and use higher comp pistons.

I ordered ITM piston kit from rockauto last year. There was option for std and oversized ones and probably still available from there.

EA82T pistons are lower compression than the EA82 pistons, since they are dished.

To clarify my post my pistons are for turbo version and are dished.should still be available trough plaves that sell itm parts. My kit is itm ry6530 std and it vame with rings, piston pins and piston pin clips.

Do you happen to have any photos of this ITM piston kit you have?

I'll try to find my pics later today. I have them installed in my engine now but I did take some photos of thrm during my build. Pretty much looks same as the later style ea82t pistons wit lower piston skirts. But I'll get back to it when I find the pics.

It seems I've lost the pics of them. But I have some pic of them installed that wont probably help a lot but here goes:

Here's a picture I found from internet:

But you get the point out of those. Those are the new style pistons that should be bit tougher than the older long skirt ones.

Basicly the kit looked much like the oem ones. Bit rough surface on the dish but I don't see a problem with that. I did weight 

all of the pistons and the weight difference between all four of them was under 0.5 grams so nicely balanced too. 

Did they have offset pins like the OE ones?

 

I wish I new the part number of the OE ones for both RH and LH ones...they ARE a lot stronger than the long skirt ones that crack, but if you dont put them in the correct side they will knock, spin them 180' so the offset is correct and the oil grooves will be at the bottom of the bore...

Mm no offset pins in the itm kit or even on my original ones. Never heardnof offset pins or even thqt you should put them on specific side. There is basicly no difference on which side you put them. OR if there is some reason it it should be found from factory service manual. With new pistons it should not matter in which borenyou use them in but if the piaton is used it is very advisable to use it in the same bore where it came from.

offset pins are very common, especially on short skirt pistons, if you put them the wrong way round, they will knock like a mofo.

 

do you still have the OE ones?

Now that I got a look of the pistons again in my block they do have that arrow pointing to front of the engine (FSM also states should be pointing to front). So probably those are offset pins in them. No mentioning from the left or right side in the pistons or FSM. Also found my notes from the block build and I've written down that piston arrow facing forward. But in the end the pistons are identical looking to the oem ones. 

Do you still have the OE pistons?

while got attention of an authority on these bits nncoolman, the gudgeon pin off set can be seen with naked eye or with verniers from measuring yeah ?

 

so, um is the pin centre closer to the upperside of the bore or lower side when mounted correctly ? This info would be for offaset pistons not marked left right just up or front

I measured quickly around 2mm offset in my oem piston (really quick measurement made with vernier).

 

EDIT: pin is on top side on left side and on down side on right side (this lookimg from back to front of the engine)
