Which of these pistons should I buy for my RB26DETT build?

CP Pistons, Wiseco or JE?

They are all relatively the same price (under $1,000)

In terms of the build I've just gone with ARP rod bolts, ARP main bolts, ARP head bolts, ACL main and rod bearings, etc. etc.

Nothing too too fancy.

The CP pistons are around $900 or so with rings + freight ($50 or so)

All up with ARP rod bolts, ARP head studs, ARP main bolts, ACL main and rod bearings I'm hoping to come in under $1,700 or so *fingers crossed*

Advice in terms of what rings to use??

I know a couple of big workshops source their own custom rings and pins to suit the CP's, but I couldn't confirm the specifics as I gave my CP's the flick and went to Tomei instead.

You have the option of using different pins and piston rings when you buy CP Pistons. They have about 5 different pin and a premium CPN ring set...

Do you have any more info on this?

I did a google search but couldn't come up with any info.

I have used CP in all my motors, no problem at all. You can get them from the US on ebay for under $700 a set delivered.

Ditto,

Ive got 8 Silvia SR20s running in the 11's on regular CP's, quite a few RB's as well.

Funny that i ditched the Tomei items for the CPs.Call me crazy.

JE are the better piston out of the lot, but why pay the price for a JE when you can buy 1000hp CP's off the shelf cheaply that'll do job just as well, they're going in my next build! I wouldn't worry to much about the rings on the CP's, more so the workshop you use to put your motor together, a motor is only as good as it's builder..

This is what I've been quoted so far:

> CP Pistons, 86mm, $879.80

> ARP Head Studs $360

> Cometic Head Gasket $168.69

> ARP main studs $165

> ARP rod bolts $84.93

> ACL rod and main bearings $270

All the above prices are in USD and are excluding freight.

Freight all up is around $110USD.

For *$110* USD that sounds like the best deal i've ever heard! :laugh::down:

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
