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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
