I used a set of CP pistons in a 2JZ last week and the rings were exactly the same as what Wiseco supply with theirs, right down to the markings for the top side of the rings. My customer had them sent from someone in the US, not sure who though.

I wouldn't use any ring set that doesnt have a steel top ring, a cast ring breaks too easily with a little detonation. The thinner the rings the better, we usually use Wiseco's with a 1mm, 1.2mm, 2.8mm set and have never had a drama with them. Personally I think they are every bit as good as a CP in design and material plus they come with a skirt coating now for around $1200ish including rings.

If you get CP pistons form the states, the come with Jap made rings.

The ones that come from Quantum down here usually have hastings rings.

ok but in the link I have used, and talked to these guys and they are stating that the rings are CP and that they are tool steel....

proengines, what did you think of the pistons your customer came to you with? Im interested as I have read a lot of your reports and they are spot on in my book...

cheers,

proengines, what do you make of these? and could this be the same company that your customer used?

Hey Ben. send an email to CP in the states telling them where you plan to buy them from. They can probably tell you what sort of rings you will get.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
