Hi Guys,

This is really simple, Group order for RB forged pistons.

1 Piston kit = $1100 (Shipping Included)

3 or more = $1000 (Shipping Included)

Heres a link to the Wiseco Catalog:

http://www.wiseco.com/PDFcatalogs/sc-niss.pdf

Also, all piston kits are Teflon coated (Worth $200) for Free. They include: Gudgeon pins, rings & seals, Clips. everything you need.

Orders will take a couple of weeks to arrive, (As they come from US).

So far i have sold 1 kit on this forum (il see if i can get him to vouch for me), and over 12 kits privatly.

If you are intrested, please email me the KIT number you need, (from the wiseco catalog) and your details.

Cheers,

Trev.

I can highly recommend Trev, i ordered a set of pistons from him and he was very helpfull and they arrived when he said they would and he kept me informed all the way, top quality product for a very nice price.

Sure Dave,

I will set a cutoff date for the group buy 4 weeks from now.

If your still intrested in a single purchase i will get in touch with you. (The way the Aussie dollar is trading, you might get it @ 1K anyways, but we will see what happens within the next month)

Stolen...

You dont need these.

The only time you would buy these are if you are planning to run some big HP (Lots of boost 19PSI +) application, or doing a serious motor rebuild.

You wouldnt "install" them for the sake of it, as there is no direct performance increase from doing so. The cost for a mechanic to rebuild your bottemend would be in the 3K (Labor) area for him to take your motor out install forgies and put it back together properly. (Machining costs, bearings, lineing rings & seals, headgaskets etc)

drop me a line when you blow it up! ;)

You havent seen under my bed, ive been stockpilling for the big upgrade, ive got the turbs, engine managment fuel pump, injectors and a few other bits and pieces. Still gotta get cams and a few other bits. thought id grab these as they are at such a great price. if you can always provide a decent price then i guess youll hear from me in a month or two. Thanks for the advice...

Is the motor coming out? if the motor is comeing out then its worth while doing. All these parts you have bought are bolt-ons, and you can get away with installing all of those parts without pulling the motor out.

These are the best price you will get in aus, there still $150 cheaper than the cheapest place i could find in aus. (Thats if you buy a single set) And a $250 saving for the group buy.

I sell these pistons to engine worksops. And they are still much cheaper than any trade price all of them have heard of.

I dont think i will be doing this next month, its rather stressful and time consuming. If you want a set of forgies, now is the time.

FYI:

If you are re-building a RB25 or RB30/25, the piston kit you requier is K578M87. This will give you a CR of around 8.0:1 - 8.5:1

If you still need higher comp you can deck your block, or the bottem of your head.

Cheers,

Trev

I dont understand why you people are so caught up in running exactly 9.0:1 CR!!??

(No flame intended in this post)

8.5:1 is Perfect, its not low enough to affect off boost drivability. And you have the flexability of running more boost, with less ping.

Most people, run jap gaskets to try and achieve a CR of around 8.5:1... And on a RB30 block youl have the displacment to help you out in the lower end of the rev range anyway, not to mention the GTT head to make it flow like crazy aswell.

Holden VL Turbos (Single over head cam, RB30) From Factory run a CR of 7.9:1

Just thought i would throw that in to bring some perspective to my argument. I will prove off boost performace when my RB30/25 is finsihed in a few weeks. (Dyno printout)

I would really like to get in for a set of these for my rb25det but i need to rip my engine out first to check the condition of my bore's.

I hopefully should have that done by the end of next week.

While i would like to keep my 9:1 c/r(yes yes i'm a sheep too) the catalog says 8.0-8.4 c/r. it would be ok if it was 8.4-8.5 but i dont really think i would like to drop down to 8:1 as i do not intend to run stupid amounts of boost and i like the way the car used to drive down low. :rolleyes:

Also is the Sr20 kit (K557M865) the same price or cheaper?

I might be able to get a friend in for one aswell.

John

Hi Mesmer,

If your cylinders are in good shape and only need a light hone then get the K578M865 Kit (.020 Oversize), this will get you as close to the 8.4:1 mark as possable. Then machine the deck (Top) of your block, and take a little off the bottem of the head. Not only will this ensure that you will get a perfect head/block seal, but you will get your CR up to around 8.6:1 - 8.7:1 :rolleyes:

I sent a email to my supplier just before regarding the SR20 Kit, (i think its cheaper than 1K) i will inform you of the price for the SR20 kit as soon as i hear from him.

Mesmer, if you and your freind buy and Dave i will end this group buy early. (Or whenever is most convienient for you guys) :(

Also guys i can get ANY Wiseco piston, Audi, BMW, Chevy, Clevland, Ford... ANYTHING with a Wiseco Part number.

Cheers,

Trev

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
