Which Of These Pistons Should I Buy For My Rb26dett Build?

[GKTECH]

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.

Ive got JE pistons in my 26....they do the job!

[Bliksem]

All of those brands are excellent so I would choose the cheapest one

[dmac_25]

All good piston Wiseco buy memory is the cheapest thats what im outting in my 30dett build its a matter of choice and walet size

[GeeTR]

Yah, CP or JE... I been wondering this myself lately.

[NYTSKY]

IMO CP are the better out of the two.I just picked up a set for my build.

[GKTECH]

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*

CP are a good piston, but unfortunately the same can't be said for the rings they supply with them

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..

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