Default looking for over sized pistons

Hey All,

The motor is almost out of the car and we have to bore it out. We need to get 100.50 forged turbo pistons, rings, and pins. Any one know where we can get them for less than 1200$!?! Also if some one has them for sale let me know .

Thanks,
Ian

Make sure you have the pistons before you bore so you can follow their instructions.

There's no such thing as a cheap oversized piston for these cars. $1,200 is about as cheap as I've seen.

Oversized? I thought yours were the 100.00 ones. That's damn good for oversized - you hear that Ian? Shipping from UAE might be a few bucks, but that's still a lot better than I've seen anyplace else.

POP: Ian contacted me regarding the oversize 100.50mm pistons for the turbo models. It turned out that my supplier's 100.50mm NA pistons were placed in the Turbo piston's box (wrong box) so, only the 100.00 Mahle and Kolbenschmit pistons are available for the Turbo models (CR 8:1) otherwises, NA's and S2/968 model standard AND oversize are available for half that price

There was a thread a few months ago about oversize pistons now being manufactured in the US and sold for under $1000 a set. Try a search.

TurboX: What is you budget? i mean, if you like, you could get a used block (in good condition) and get new 100.00mm tubo pistons (i can send you these)??? just a thought since you never mentioned your budget
