forged pistons and tubular manifolds

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:14 pm

I know there are afew of you that have expressed an interest in CA manifolds and forged pistons recently in multiple threads, so I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread on it to get an idea of how many of you there are!

I know I'm interested in finding some forged pistons in the $500-600 range (with rings etc...) and the SS autochrome tubular manifold for $250ish. I've heard ryan (float_6969) express an interest in both of these as has jon (slw240sx) and there are quite afew interested in the manifold...

lets see a show of hands who's willing to buy what now... and I'll start emailing people. I've already emailed ssautochrome, and I'll be emailing different piston companies as soon as I have a better idea of how many people (CP, wiseco, JE, and that place ryan found)

any word on pistons, i dont have teh time to track any down , nor the time to call Je wiseco, ross , and others, if some one can get some concrete info and pricing im ready to order , im looking to have the block out for machine work ASAP.

Dee whats the word on those one pistons for 5 somthing? or the ones you have? can you order them and we buy from you ? i need these PDQ

Post by **float_6969** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:14 pm

Weisco finnally has a mold for them. They are making them for Race Engineering. Race engineering should have them in stock soon.

http://www.raceeng.com/showIte...=RACE

Its down near the bottom. 83mm and 83.5mm. PN's are

83mm - XTP-553P8383.5mm - XTP-553P835

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:14 pm

I'm down for the 83mm ones:) lets roll jon!

Post by **NeedCAforS13** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:14 pm

who's down for wiseco 83mm (stock bore) forged pistons. I will be making phone calls this weekend and would like to know how many people I should say are interested. The SSautochrome manifold is up to over $350 last time I checked

and like I said earlier they aren't making any more for at least 30 days!

WHO WANTS PISTONS? I have no idea on price yet, but figure at least $600 total with rings

If you have $600 (might be less) to spend RIGHT NOW let me know and we'll make it happen... I want these ASAP!:D

Thanks,Sean

im in for sum! i emailed ssautochrome about manifolds, and how i wanted an equal length one, they said if they can get a pic of a ca manifold they will copy it as much as possible! dose any one have nay pics if you do send it to them!!

hell i have all 4 little gaskets i can send them... my manifold and all is off the motor. If they want i can send them mine and they can t3/t4afy it and send me one for like 100 bucks

boost_boy posted a pic of his manifold over in the Nissan Forums.

Check it out HERE.

Post by **boost_boy** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:14 pm

Thanks Alan! I'll help you post the exact pic

I'll be getting one made for my (3) 240s that will sport CA18DET engines and will be up for sale; well, maybe not hte convertible because my girl is crying that she wants that car. If you guys are interested, the same guy that made this one will be making the other ones and trust me, this manifold is elementary compared to RWD ones he make for the KAs, SRs and RBs.

after paying for my head and cams i will have lil more then enough to get some pistons and a few other peices i still need. so im down for ASAP!

i also am probably goin 10 or 20 over on my pistons i think my block might need a slight bore i beat the crap out of it,

Post by **slw240sx** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:14 pm

stickey somthing like a list for the pistons!

Post by **ca18det_boy** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:14 pm

yes I'll take a mani and pisto's

Post by **float_6969** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:14 pm

OK, I talked to Race Engineering yesterday. The pistons won't be in for another 1-2 weeks. The 83mm/83.5mm pistons will be $450 and the rings will run you between $60-$90 dollars. He wasn't sure which brand of rings it was coming with so he wasn't sure on the price. Custom pistons will run you $600.

Post by **boost_boy** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:14 pm

They should have been had this piston on file because they kept my last piston which was done over 3 years ago. It would be nice to have access to pistons and especially being that close to me. So my g/f's white sentra is going to get a good thrashing this weekend at the track because this engine has lasted long enough and must be tested at constant high boost in a 1320 scene. The stock headgasket has been good through 15-18psi on a constant basis, but let's test it past 20 and see what times I can get;) .

dee ho much for that manifold and can we get it top mount? Just when they make it reverse the gaskets and it looks externaly gated...

It will not include the ceramic coating though, but can be done for extra.

Dee

does HAVE to be set up for an external gate? and how much extra is the ceramic coating?
