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

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.

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.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
