there defiantly forgies. The piston you have are sold by precision performance. they retail for $1500. they are some chinese brand but dont be to worried there no to bad really. these are mine that we put in rb30's for a cheaper optioned rebuild. Just put it all back together and drive it, as lond as there not damaged it will be sweet. cheers

Those pistons are Hypatec liquid forged. They are a semi forged piston and are hypereutectic. They are sold by Precision International, they are not a bad piston though I haven't used them in any turbo engine.

my advice is now that you know what brand the pistons are, contact the piston manufacturer and ask them wat PTB clearance they reccomend. it may in fact be 0.1mm (unlikely, but possible).

**UPDATE**

I WAS looking for a piston to bore clearance of .035 - .05mm (as per Manufacturers requirements)

Called up some blokes down at Silverwater and .1mm seems too big..

So..

plan of attack..

Piston size of 85.95mm WILL fit a stock RB25DET bore and have a gap of .05mm (recommended gap) - Anyone interesed in a cheap set of forgies that will fit stock Rb25DET bore?

BUT

Because the mechanics at deadshit's mechanics R US bored the block out by .05mm (and hence increased the clearance to .1mm and therefore too big) the block and piston combination will not work.. - anyone looking at a cheap 25det block?

I doubt it has been bored out 1 thou, 2 thou piston clearnace cant be right for the forgies, its just too small, they would sieze. 4 thou is only a little loose, why not just chuck it back together, it wouldnt have been causing the massive dramas that the car has.

GTS4WD,

Try not to over complicate things.

Send the block in to be bored/honed WITH the set of pistons. The machinist will measure up the pistons and bore to suite your intended application. Obviously have a little discussion with regards to what the piston manufacturer recommends, intended use etc etc.

Well im looking to put together a hi comp 25/30 NA project together.. so.. dont have much use for this..

But I may get the block sleeved and sell the whole bottom end off with the pistons..

Ill get a few quotes for getting it sleeved.. but I mean.. I seen a fair few 25DeT blocks going HEAPS cheap lately.. so Im not sure if its worth it.. but I will get back with you guys about it..

Those pistons will run .05mm or so clearance. They are not your usual forged piston which is forged from a billet, they are more along the lines of pressure cast. Being hypereutectic, the coefficient of thermal expansion is a lot lower than a piston forged from a lower silicone content alloy, so not so much difference in size from cold to hot. It would be a lot cheaper to buy a set of pistons than to have the block sleeved.

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
