3S-GTE forged pistons, where to get in KL at a good price?

[phoenixpower]

A friend of mine is looking for a set of 2618 forged pistons for a 3S-GTE engine, 1mm oversized, and similar to factory piston floor shape as the valve pockets could be machined at a later stage whenever necessary. Brands preferably JE, CP, Arias, Venolia, Mahle, Wiseco, etc so long it's a high silicon forged units.

I remember seeing some of those advertisements in Motortrader but unsure if they still stock them. SS Racing or N1?I cant remember.

I've tried sourcing overseas but it takes a while for it to arrive.

Any recommendations for a good and reliable retailer?I'd appreciate it if someone could leave down the contact details.



Many thanks in advance.




Cheers.

Nevermind.

I've sourced it from Australia at a very good price.

Checked with KL and they're selling at RM3k+, and have to wait for the order due to specification changes.

N1 has JE pistons... but i don't think so they keep stock as well. Will have to place order... but I don't remember it being 3k++ so expensive... should be under 3k...

Well, I have actually spoken to the guys at N1 and knowing that I have to place an order, I might as well take the order from overseas and get a huge discount.

Im getting a set of 2618 venolia forgies for around RM2k, arrived in Malaysia. Tell me if its a bad deal.

The guy even mentioned to me about HKS pistons and they cost a bit more but knowing HKS gets someone else to produce for them(just like JUN and their Cosworth made pistons), why bother...right?
