65Mm Pistons - Ie Stock Bore For An New Rb26 Block

[djr81]

Probably a dumb question but does anyone other than HKS make a forged piston for a standard bore RB26?

[HR32GTS 4DOOR]

Aren't they 86mm?

[SiR_RB]

65mm pistons? Good for a Hyundai excel lol

[djr81]

Sorry brain fade with the numbers - 86mm.

Anyway does one of you smartarses have an answer?

ACL, Tomei, Nitto, CP

[NYTSKY]

Did you even do a google search?

[djr81]

Yes.

Tomei were my start point but I couldn't find a reference to an 86mm piston, only oversize ones.

Didnt look at ACL or Nitto (Not that the NItto list has an 86mm size anyway) because I didnt want to use them.

Have CP pistons currently and given the issues I have dont want to go back there either.

Issues with CP? Really? They're one of the best going around.

What happened?

[JustinP]

If your having problems with CP pistons then the problem lies in the build of the engine, not with the parts.

[djr81]

Despite all available evidence being to the contrary I am not a complete idiot. I understand cps reputation. None the less I would still like to establish who makes forged pistons in 86mms because from what I can see it is a much smaller number than for oversized pistons for obvious reasons.

[Shoota_77]

I'm not sure who's insinuating you're an idiot but it's certainly not me! I'd love to know what went wrong though. I've got 2 RB's with forged CP's so keen to know what could potentially go wrong.

Are the slugs going in a brand new engine? The reason I ask is most of our 12-21 year old RB's are pretty much due for re-sizing by the time their due for new pistons.

Sorry for deflecting from your goal!

My quick Google search brought up-

Arias

Wossner (??)

HKS

CP

JE

ACL

Gong Chang (holy crap, the Chinese are on board the forgie train!!)

Apexi

Pretty good choice really..

[djr81]

Thanks for the info. I dont want to go into what may or may not have gone wrong in an interweb thread. I have an N1 block ready to go. Just wanted to see what was actually available and used rather than listed and non existant.

Hmm they make .25mm oversize too. Not seen that elsewhere.

[kitto]

Id also like to know what supposedly happened to said CP pistons.

[Missileman]

Do some aftermarket slugs not support oil squirters?

[GTScotT]

I would also line to know what went wrong with CP pistons.

I believe that information may be more valuable that the current display of attitude. Particularly to us CP users who have put their hard earned into big builds.

[djr81]

Some dont (Mahle most prominently) but that is not the issue and it is easily fixed.

Please don't play 20 questions about the motor just stick to the piston availability thing.

Attitude? FFS.

I said I had engine issues.

I said I didn't want to use CP's again.

I did not say the cause of the issues were the CP pistons or that there was anything wrong with the brand.

Happy?
