Default RPi Forged Turbo pistons XB update

Well, they are FINALLY done guys. We will be running a promotional price for the first batch. Those interested can email me directly or call our office. Post any questions here or on our forum.

Our piston set includes pistons (9.5:1 compression w/ stock size head gasket), pins and pro seal rings.

Nice set. How much are those going for? Will you be making ones for NA with higher compression?

We try to keep prices low for you guys but its tough with such a limited demand. The price will be $650 for single sets or $500 per set on a group buy. For group buy purchases, we would need 10 people. Otherwise I'd be paying everyone to run the pistons. hehe.

what was your other car? for him being one of the first few to make forged turbo pistons for the 1NZ-FE engine and that there isnt really a high demand for them and even if there were there arent to many ppl that would actually wanna buy internals for there 1NZ-FE engine unless they were really serious about the build........so all in all if there were more ppl other that are into building up there 1NZ-FE the cost of the pistons would be less.........

Our parts aren't for everyone. If you can get some for $425 you should do it, then let me know who I can call to make them to our specs at that price too. I'll order from them. We put a lot of R&D time on them so the price is high for single set machining. Those who read my posts or see our work will know, we have never claimed to have the cheapest prices for parts some of you may be looking for. You get what you pay for...that goes for labor also.

Was there any change to these pins? As I know this is a weak point.

Yes, these pins are forged. We can sell the pistons separately and you guys can use other pins, rings, etc but that would be your risk.
