Is it possible to tell just from a pic like that??

Either way, they're not factory, so my guess is they are. :P

Wind in 20psi of boost and try to tune it, you'll soon find out :\

I was told they were ARIES.. Just found a picture of a block that the builder listed as being aries they look the same?

I can kinda see the same pattern in them as well? :P.

Is that a 4A block?

different pistons for different engines but the ones up top in your first post are forged

I'm not sure, Just found it on the net its a SR20 the guy said it had ARIES Forged Pistons and they looked identical from the top including the machining marks.

The previous owner of mine told me it had Aries Forged pistons just didn't really believe him because he couldn't "find" the engine rebuild receipt when i went to pick it up.

Thanks so much guys :P..

Will standard rods handle 450/460HP or much more? Car has a GT3582R High Mount with 0.63A/R, Tomei Poncams, Greddy Copy Intake, 44mm Tial Wastegate, PowerFC, 740cc Nismo Injectors, Splitfire Coils, Greddy Adjustable Exhaust Cam Gear.

It will be at the wheels..

Do you really need to have an engine builder change the rods? I would have thought it would be as simple as marking the pistons and their direction and bearings and the way they were installed, unbolting the rods, removing the grudgeon pin sirclip and popping it out, bolting up a set of say eagle rods, making sure the bearings arn't scored, connect up the new rods and then use a piston ring compressor to get the pistons back into the block put the bearings back in and torquing it up correctally?

The motor is less than 5000km/s old.

yeah they look like arias, not a bad budget piston... little noisy is all.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
