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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
