Is it possible to tell just from a pic like that??

Either way, they're not factory, so my guess is they are. :P

Wind in 20psi of boost and try to tune it, you'll soon find out :\

I was told they were ARIES.. Just found a picture of a block that the builder listed as being aries they look the same?

I can kinda see the same pattern in them as well? :P.

Is that a 4A block?

different pistons for different engines but the ones up top in your first post are forged

I'm not sure, Just found it on the net its a SR20 the guy said it had ARIES Forged Pistons and they looked identical from the top including the machining marks.

The previous owner of mine told me it had Aries Forged pistons just didn't really believe him because he couldn't "find" the engine rebuild receipt when i went to pick it up.

Thanks so much guys :P..

Will standard rods handle 450/460HP or much more? Car has a GT3582R High Mount with 0.63A/R, Tomei Poncams, Greddy Copy Intake, 44mm Tial Wastegate, PowerFC, 740cc Nismo Injectors, Splitfire Coils, Greddy Adjustable Exhaust Cam Gear.

It will be at the wheels..

Do you really need to have an engine builder change the rods? I would have thought it would be as simple as marking the pistons and their direction and bearings and the way they were installed, unbolting the rods, removing the grudgeon pin sirclip and popping it out, bolting up a set of say eagle rods, making sure the bearings arn't scored, connect up the new rods and then use a piston ring compressor to get the pistons back into the block put the bearings back in and torquing it up correctally?

The motor is less than 5000km/s old.

yeah they look like arias, not a bad budget piston... little noisy is all.

      I'd say the easiest way is, pick up a extended and baffled sump with fittings already welded on. Here is an example, it has 3 x -10 fittings  https://shop.maatouksracing.com.au/products/rb-extended-and-baffled-sump

      hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)...

      Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
