[QUOTE="omaroDDin, post: 4180836, member: 45975"] I've finally eaten enough maggi to save up for pistons and con rod(bought already). Hair also falling off already. with that, wanna ask the speed demons here what's the best or most practical solution for a set of RB26DETT forged pistons. I know some will say 'Go buy HKS, JUN,' and other jap brands. But ITS SO EXPENSIVE. JUN super piston set can burn USD1.9k(pending on where u buy la. some can go up to USD2k+) hole in my pocket. HKS can also go up to USD1.3k to 1.6k on nengun.com, Greddy has been discontinued though. and Tomei's price is also around the same as the HKS one. I've recently browsed through some other(american) sites and found cheaper alternatives. It goes as followed: 1. MAHLE pistons going for USD729 + USD119 for shipping (bloody hell had to call them 2am in the morning cos they don't give out prices on the net, Heard bout them from Mine's, they're using tem for tuning the R35, plus got history in F1) - 87mm 2. Cosworth also going for around USD1199 and same shipping also. - 86 - 87mm (Since they make JUN also, would it mean their's is just as good as JUN?) 3. CP pistons going for USD891 - 87mm 4. Brian Crower going for USD871 - 87mm As the japanese(esp JUN) products has always been on the top of my wish list, it'll just stay there as a 'wish' la. Keep in mind I'm going for a 87mm bore. With that, I would like to thank u guys for ur time and your inputs on this thought will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again. :D [/QUOTE]
