Where To Buy Forged Pistons?

[r32r32]

Hi guys,

Where have people bought there forged pistons from? I've been looking around and Acl seem to be the cheapest but I cant find where to buy them apart from Repco and they want over $2k!!!! Cp's are around $750 US from the states, is there anywhere in Australia that are selling them at about that price! JUST WANT MY CAR BACK ON THE ROAD!

Cheers

Cool! Anyone know where to get Acl's for under a grand?

they are pretty shite, even the arias are better and will cost way under 1k.

750 USD is ~920 AUD with freight, GST, and their little bit of profit they aren't going to sell them to you at a loss.

Good Luck

Uras, where do you get ARIAS from at way under $1k?

[blind_elk]

I'm guessing you want RB20 pistons.

[r32r32]

No, Rb26!

[NYTSKY]

I can get you CP pistons for 1k, give or take a dollar or two.

PM me if you are interested.

[blind_elk]

No, Rb26!

Just as bad. Coz I have some RB25DET +.040 for sale.

I have a question I would like to ask, are the HKS, JUN etc... Japanese brands "better" then CP, ARIAS

[Angus Smart]

to add to the post above. can someone confirm Hks, tomei etc make their own pistons?

i know Jun were done by cosworth, i'd think piston making equiptment to be quiet expensive.

so many things are outsourced these days. i'd suspect only a few places world wide who actually make them.

Most are made to spec, i use alot of the jap pistons (TRUST) purely cause they have a nicer crown design (especially SR20) and the tolerances (and ring packs) are far superior, yes they are outsourced but no the are not shelf items. I have even tried to buy direct from the manufacturer and they will not supply.... actually deny even making them.

Yeah i would have gathered they are made to spec, who actually makes them?

I figure, Mahle still make their own, along with cosworth perhaps too? and possibly one of the american companies maybe wiseco??

Are there any oversized pistons out there for under a grand? Just cash strapped at the moment! The vl guys seem to like hypatech! Do they make them for Rb26? What are they like?

many out there for under 1k.. look at the website i posted.

[r32r32]

Hey,

I looked at the website, but they are US prices arn't they? Making them over $1K buy they time you convert the dollars and get them sent out!

550-800us = 700ish for the lower scale and just under 1000 for top.

i bought Mahle pistons and pauter rods from these people came to just under $1800 @ .95c conversion a few weeks back..

did not take much time to get here at all.
