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!

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
