Arias, ACL, Venolia, JE, CP, JUN, Cosworth, HKS, GREX, APEXi......... Take your pick.

With the information you just gave us (nothing), any of the above will be fine.

I'm using Hyundai Sonata (2 Litre) pistons for my build-up.

They're the right size and cheap too!

I can't tell whether you're joking or being serious!!!!

Just seeing who's paying attention!

[compnerd]

does anyone know if rb30t pistons will fit rb26,if not what are the cheapest alternative,for pistons20 to 40 thou oversized

[DoughBoy]

Wiseco's are cheap forged pistons, but you do get what you pay for. RB30 pistons will stick out of the block by about 2 mm.

I think the cheapest price-wise are Wiseco + Arias, but just to state it again...you get what you pay for.

if you want forgies you can get wisecos for about $1k arias for about $1.3 k , you can get stockies for about $900 from nissan , i used arias +40 thou (87 mm ) in mine some time ago and i find them ok .

[compnerd]

did the arias come with gudpian pins and rings

cheers

Wait a few months, an Indonesian company has come up with a breakthrough in metallurgy, and are making great pistons that are competitively priced. OE manufacturers will be using these pistons in new cars, and will force aftermarket piston manufacturers out of business!

They are called parenthial pistons, and use stoichometric heat treatment for toughening to ensure that there ductile strength matches the elastic region under compression... i have seen the phase diagram, its impressive stuff. They are also really light because of their berillium content

[wrxhoon]

yes they come with rings and gudgeon pins as well as circlips that hold the pins in .as far as i know all aftermarket pistons come with rings and gudgeon pins .

rocket industries in sydney are the austra;lian distributors for arias , the above price is trade price

Ive got a set of 87.5mm JE Pistons that comes with Total Seal ring set if you are interested in a good set not a cheap set, they are new in the box email me strappap@yahoo.com.au if you are interested

I've had a fair amount to do with fitting numerous brands of forged pistons, and seen how they've performed. All the name brands are much of a muchness, in terms of finish etc. The arias are probabley the best designed, in terms of their ring land design. ACL have recently released a range, they are actually Ross pistons just re-branded, they are real good value for money at under $1000, and a fair amount lighter than the Arias. Just my two cents worth.

Link to breakthrough technology??

Here's what I found... http://www.editama.com/

Is this the company??

:jk: ...I thought id get in first as normally on these sorts of threads someone sooner or later mentions eutectic pistons etc etc.

Seriously though, having worked in Indonesia i wouldnt be using any parts manufactured there, quality control is a bit of an issue :Oops:

[SE-Rfornow]

You bastard!!

Haha man I was all excited. I guess a sucker is born every minute .

[markr34gtr]

je pistons are pretty good but about 1500 bucks with rings...

cheers.
