Hi guys, i was just wondering if any of you have used ACL products before, i hadnt heard of them myself till just the other day at work. I was thinking bout getting some forged pistons in my car and just thought id ask if anyone else had used them and the pro's and cons of them. Thx guys. Oh and also, should i just use standard size as opposed to the .5 or 1.0. How much trouble/money is it going to be if i was to put in the bigger size? :(

I was looking on the rocket industries site, and was going to get prices on arias pistons as well. As it stands though i can get ACL Pistons for $1020 through work. Is there much of a difference when it comes to the different brands?

size depends on whether or not they need to hone the bores... your engine builder will tell you what size they need once they have stripped the motor...

as for differences between Arias and ACL I have no idea... I only have experience with Arias and have been very impressed... pricing is about the same between the 2 brands

the acl pistons come with gas nitrided steel rings also....exceedingly good in my opinion, in comparison to just various other coated rings. For example the CP rings that came with the pistons are ductile iron rings that are moly or chrome coated, cant remember but im thinking moly. Coating is nowhere near as good as hardening.

I just get pissed off putting in those stupid sprial locks for the gudgeon pin. Damn thats annoying!

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
