Guys,

I've read many threads on many forums regarding which piston is best. I'm looking to Replace my Custom Ross pistons with a off the shelf item for my Rb20 stroker. I'm looking at using a 83mm CA18DET piston but unsure which make to order.

I'm comparing Supertech, CP & WISECO currently - All vary massively in price and availability. Researching Supertech I've not been able to find much positive or negative towards their piston but they are well known for their Engine accessories eg Valves etc to be excellent value and build.

CP & WISECO have plenty on info but still welcome feedback

Cheers

Cameron

I take it based upon reading your post that you have not had a huige amount of success with the dramas you were having. I have some brand new Tomei 2.4L pistons that if you want I can have a hard think about price I am after and sell to you. I have been keeping them for an R31 coupe I will one day buy but sounds like you may need them mroe than me. They are only 81 or 82mm though from memory.

Roy,

Yea you are correct unfortunately, Few items missing. I couldn't do that to you but the offer is very much appreciated as I know you've had them put aside for some time!

I wasn't wanting to go to 83mm pistons because i'd want to sleeve the block for a little more safety however I see Tomei make a 83.5mm Head Gasket for a rb20

I've got to get time to strip the block all the way down and looking at the bore the pistons have been walking around a little so My guess is they are past their used by date. The bore currently is a little over 82mm

Sps. I have personally built, owned, tuned and raced one of the biggest hp ea81t Subaru motors in the world and spa was my piston manufacturer. 480+ without gas and it never shat a piston. You can order whatever you like. Ring thickness, pin size, comp height, comp, reliefs, you name it they can do it.

480 horsepower from a dinosaur EA81 turbo engine , there wouldn't have been much Subaru left in it . Here in Australia the best legal EA82 Grp A rally engines cranked out 190 horses with Subaru's own kit of works parts .

Let me see , single inlet port pushrod heads who's claim to fame was cast in injector bosses .

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
