Pistons and rings?

Im rebuilding my Sr as soon as i get it, and im trying to find a set of "total seal" rings, or some thing equivalent to them, Totalseal doesnt sell them, but im wondering if there is any equivalent to them that any one knows about. Its basically a gap free piston ring, i believe on the high tension and low tension, the rest are standard i believe. also, wiseco vs CP or apexi or any other brands of pistons, which would you choose? sorry this question is prolly answered in a post some where, but i know the first one isnt. thanks. oh yeah Red top S13 sr20

hmm good question. The OEM ones actually hold up really well. I know for turbo you want a high tension ring. Low tension and turbo don't get along well for obvious reasons. I don't think you can go wrong with wiseco products. I think you need to build your engine for what you plan to do with it more than anything else.
