Which of these pistons should I buy for my RB26DETT build?

CP Pistons, Wiseco or JE?

They are all relatively the same price (under $1,000)

In terms of the build I've just gone with ARP rod bolts, ARP main bolts, ARP head bolts, ACL main and rod bearings, etc. etc.

Nothing too too fancy.

The CP pistons are around $900 or so with rings + freight ($50 or so)

All up with ARP rod bolts, ARP head studs, ARP main bolts, ACL main and rod bearings I'm hoping to come in under $1,700 or so *fingers crossed*

Advice in terms of what rings to use??

I know a couple of big workshops source their own custom rings and pins to suit the CP's, but I couldn't confirm the specifics as I gave my CP's the flick and went to Tomei instead.

You have the option of using different pins and piston rings when you buy CP Pistons. They have about 5 different pin and a premium CPN ring set...

Do you have any more info on this?

I did a google search but couldn't come up with any info.

I have used CP in all my motors, no problem at all. You can get them from the US on ebay for under $700 a set delivered.

Ditto,

Ive got 8 Silvia SR20s running in the 11's on regular CP's, quite a few RB's as well.

Funny that i ditched the Tomei items for the CPs.Call me crazy.

JE are the better piston out of the lot, but why pay the price for a JE when you can buy 1000hp CP's off the shelf cheaply that'll do job just as well, they're going in my next build! I wouldn't worry to much about the rings on the CP's, more so the workshop you use to put your motor together, a motor is only as good as it's builder..

All the above prices are in USD and are excluding freight.

Freight all up is around $110USD.

For *$110* USD that sounds like the best deal i've ever heard! :laugh::down:

    • I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8
    • II know what u are saying after 9 years of hibernating my stock engined  110,00km gtt I got it registered 2 weeks ago. Took it for a drive a couple of days ago and some fresh bp fuel, I just couldn’t stop grinning and dreaming of when I will start my build thread. its just such a primal man feeling many forget to enjoy I wish u so much enjoyment with your little racer mate
    • People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
    • Before and after, headlight's done along with bumper.
    • 1. The MX5 is small, light and fun to throw around at low speeds 2. Fuel economy is great 3. There's more than enough room for my day bag, and enough room in the boot for some shopping  4. I like looking at it My daily commute takes about 10 minutes of suburban streets, mostly 50kph, with about 6 roundabouts and minimal traffic Whilst the SS is a big comfy cruiser, that's all it is, and the fuel economy is about 3 times as much as the MX5's around town
