i have owned a car fitted with acls so aclled RACE series pistons and have only good things to say about them. my cuz has a stoker 355 commo with acl pistons built by motortech in wollonging, my mate pete from PDK racing uses them in his high hp hq racer, and has NEVER had a failure. thats my 2c worth.

Yeh my rb25 has ACL forgies,

So far so good, currently 360rwkw on 24psi with ACL rings and no blow by whatsoever, can't say i've known the car to ping but i assume all forgies are fairly strong

Are those mentioned cars ... equipped with forced induction?

Not that im doubting the pistons, but using a N/A example as opposed to Boost applications can be different

I personally cannot say a bad thing about ACL products, including pistons. Their lines, as most Australian products, are manufactured to extremely strict tolerances therefore the end product is of an extremely high standard.

Although not all “race series” pistons are forged, most that are suited to high compression & forced induction applications are. This does definitely includes the entire Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru & Toyota applications

These items are tried and tested.

Therefore all I can say is … support the local product.

Yeah ive just had my engine rebuilt with ACL forgies and so far so good! No complaints here!

[SirRacer]

according to the distributor here in nz their pistons are made by ross in the US. dont know about supporting the local product but ross are known to make a very strong piston

im going to be running acl cast pistons in my rb30 so will be interesting to see how they go. the only criticisms ive heard are the rings being weak

Thanks guys,

my workshop said the same thing there good, im aiming around the 350rwkw mark so i just thought i would grab some opions of ppl that have used them before i purchase.

thanx a million dan
