I used a set of CP pistons in a 2JZ last week and the rings were exactly the same as what Wiseco supply with theirs, right down to the markings for the top side of the rings. My customer had them sent from someone in the US, not sure who though.

I wouldn't use any ring set that doesnt have a steel top ring, a cast ring breaks too easily with a little detonation. The thinner the rings the better, we usually use Wiseco's with a 1mm, 1.2mm, 2.8mm set and have never had a drama with them. Personally I think they are every bit as good as a CP in design and material plus they come with a skirt coating now for around $1200ish including rings.

If you get CP pistons form the states, the come with Jap made rings.

The ones that come from Quantum down here usually have hastings rings.

ok but in the link I have used, and talked to these guys and they are stating that the rings are CP and that they are tool steel....

proengines, what did you think of the pistons your customer came to you with? Im interested as I have read a lot of your reports and they are spot on in my book...

cheers,

proengines, what do you make of these? and could this be the same company that your customer used?

Hey Ben. send an email to CP in the states telling them where you plan to buy them from. They can probably tell you what sort of rings you will get.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
