Acl Forgies And An R33

[WebR33]

Hi guys, i was just wondering if any of you have used ACL products before, i hadnt heard of them myself till just the other day at work. I was thinking bout getting some forged pistons in my car and just thought id ask if anyone else had used them and the pro's and cons of them. Thx guys. Oh and also, should i just use standard size as opposed to the .5 or 1.0. How much trouble/money is it going to be if i was to put in the bigger size?

yeah we use their bearings and pistons...locally made and great prices for better quality than nissan ones

I was looking on the rocket industries site, and was going to get prices on arias pistons as well. As it stands though i can get ACL Pistons for $1020 through work. Is there much of a difference when it comes to the different brands?

size depends on whether or not they need to hone the bores... your engine builder will tell you what size they need once they have stripped the motor...

as for differences between Arias and ACL I have no idea... I only have experience with Arias and have been very impressed... pricing is about the same between the 2 brands

the acl pistons come with gas nitrided steel rings also....exceedingly good in my opinion, in comparison to just various other coated rings. For example the CP rings that came with the pistons are ductile iron rings that are moly or chrome coated, cant remember but im thinking moly. Coating is nowhere near as good as hardening.

I just get pissed off putting in those stupid sprial locks for the gudgeon pin. Damn thats annoying!
