Hi all,

I've recently found a supplier in the states for Mahle pistons for dirt cheap. The company who are supplying them are Race-Mart.

They have the full range of Mahle pistons and prices are as follows:

RB25 86.0mm 11.5cc dome 8.5:1 CR 343g - US$635

RB25 86.5mm 11.5cc dome 8.5:1 CR 344g - US$635

RB25 87.0mm 11.5cc dome 8.5:1 CR 345g - US$635

RB26 86.5mm 16cc dome 8.5:1 CR 312g - US$869.67

RB26 87.0mm 16cc dome 8.5:1 CR 313g - US$869.67

RB26/30 hyprid 86.5mm -4.5cc dome 8.5:1 CR 320g - US$635

RB26/30 hybrid 87.0mm -4.5cc dome 8.5:1 CR 321g - US$635

All prices are excluding shipping which will be approximately US$41.95 per set of pistons.

All payments need to be made and cleared by Friday 23 January, and order will be placed that evening.

If there are any other Mahle pistons you require, let me know and i'll grab a price.

cheers

Shane

Prices in AUD please.

Price in AUD will be dependant on the exchange rate on the 23rd, or if i place the order sooner. Main reason is i'm buying them in USD and i'm not making a cent on them and i'm certainly not going to cop extra charge if i set a price in AUD now and have it change on the 23rd.

However at the current exchange rate via xe.com, the 635 sets are ~960 delivered, and the 869.67 sets are ~1295 delivered

I will know definate shipping prices tomorrow morning, as i'm getting them to give a solid shipping quote (in USD)

Maybe a good idea to try IPP Flatlander USA (www.importperformanceparts.net), they have the following pricing:

RB26 86.5mm 16cc dome 8.5:1 CR 312g - US$769

RB26 87.0mm 16cc dome 8.5:1 CR 313g - US$769

Added to the list are EJ20 pistons:

EJ20 92.5mm -12cc dome 8:1 CR 348g - US$421.33

EJ20 93.0mm -12cc dome 8:1 CR 353g - US$421.33

Also shipping has been confirmed, shipping will be US$50 per set of pistons shipped direct to each individual.

beware all RB25 and RB26 block engines...these pistons are not direct fit.

but can be made to fit quite easily...now that i have done them and worked the best method out without having to machine the piston.

Yeh i havnt seem them in an engine first hand but i believe you have to space the oil squirter and turn it so they clear

yeah it was like a few hours fu(king around to get the 1st one worked out and 10mins to do the rest...lol.

you have to work out a happy medium between clearing the piston skirt and the crank counterweight...also between the piston bracing from the gudgeon pin to the skirt and the conrod.

thanks in advance .

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
