there defiantly forgies. The piston you have are sold by precision performance. they retail for $1500. they are some chinese brand but dont be to worried there no to bad really. these are mine that we put in rb30's for a cheaper optioned rebuild. Just put it all back together and drive it, as lond as there not damaged it will be sweet. cheers

Those pistons are Hypatec liquid forged. They are a semi forged piston and are hypereutectic. They are sold by Precision International, they are not a bad piston though I haven't used them in any turbo engine.

my advice is now that you know what brand the pistons are, contact the piston manufacturer and ask them wat PTB clearance they reccomend. it may in fact be 0.1mm (unlikely, but possible).

**UPDATE**

I WAS looking for a piston to bore clearance of .035 - .05mm (as per Manufacturers requirements)

Called up some blokes down at Silverwater and .1mm seems too big..

So..

plan of attack..

Piston size of 85.95mm WILL fit a stock RB25DET bore and have a gap of .05mm (recommended gap) - Anyone interesed in a cheap set of forgies that will fit stock Rb25DET bore?

BUT

Because the mechanics at deadshit's mechanics R US bored the block out by .05mm (and hence increased the clearance to .1mm and therefore too big) the block and piston combination will not work.. - anyone looking at a cheap 25det block?

I doubt it has been bored out 1 thou, 2 thou piston clearnace cant be right for the forgies, its just too small, they would sieze. 4 thou is only a little loose, why not just chuck it back together, it wouldnt have been causing the massive dramas that the car has.

GTS4WD,

Try not to over complicate things.

Send the block in to be bored/honed WITH the set of pistons. The machinist will measure up the pistons and bore to suite your intended application. Obviously have a little discussion with regards to what the piston manufacturer recommends, intended use etc etc.

Well im looking to put together a hi comp 25/30 NA project together.. so.. dont have much use for this..

But I may get the block sleeved and sell the whole bottom end off with the pistons..

Ill get a few quotes for getting it sleeved.. but I mean.. I seen a fair few 25DeT blocks going HEAPS cheap lately.. so Im not sure if its worth it.. but I will get back with you guys about it..

Those pistons will run .05mm or so clearance. They are not your usual forged piston which is forged from a billet, they are more along the lines of pressure cast. Being hypereutectic, the coefficient of thermal expansion is a lot lower than a piston forged from a lower silicone content alloy, so not so much difference in size from cold to hot. It would be a lot cheaper to buy a set of pistons than to have the block sleeved.

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
