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

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
