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.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
