Guys/Girls,

I have recently bought a Arias Piston Kit but I have received a called from the workshop stating that one piston is different to the other 5.

Apparantly that piston is exactly the same size as the rest, just has a lip or something at the edge.

The workshop says that they can still install it but they want the go-ahead from me.

Is this correct or am I meant to take it back to where I bought it from and get another kit?

Danny

That I'm not too sure about..

They're not opened until 2nd of Jan (Wed) so I gotta wait until then.

All I know is that the bores are all the same, only problem is that one has a lip or something around it..

I wouldn't use a suss piston , it will cost you heaps to fix later .

dalostcambo, whats the piston to bore clearance ? I think Arias specify 4thou, a little to rattly and blowby for a road car but good for a track car.

Adriano, different weight piston will not effect any of the above unless the piston was different size, different weight pistons will unbalance the motor though, I may say that they are almost always different weights ( only by a small fraction, mostly unnder one gram) this is why you weigh the pistons and the rods, then use a heavier rod with a lighter piston to balance . Its best to balance them all with the crank, flywheel and cluth on a high reving engine.

Ahh... Went down to the workshop yesterday, it was the second ring without a groove on the lip (so confusing over the phone)..

Thanks for the help!

Took the ring back and got it swapped over for another.

Can't wait to get the beast back now! =D

yeah there seems to be a period when arias upgraded the rings, it must have snuck through some how.

no offence mate, but if your engine builder was going to put 1 wrong ring in I think you should take it somewhere else.....

Ring was EXACTLY the same as the others, just didn't have the groove at the edge of the ring.

This is why they called me, to see if they have the okay to go ahead with it or wait..

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
