shanef Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251580-mahle-pistons-group-buy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Prices in AUD please. MRXTCZ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251580-mahle-pistons-group-buy/#findComment-4354752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanef Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Prices in AUD please. MRXTCZ 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) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251580-mahle-pistons-group-buy/#findComment-4355388 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky-Engineering Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251580-mahle-pistons-group-buy/#findComment-4356673 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiper the Fox Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 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.

Swiper the Fox Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 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.
