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

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
