5SGTE custom piston. Options

[rhodesyboy]

Hi all.

So basically I'm considering doing a 5sgte build however as I am based in the UK I'm struggling to find good pistons, there is a few in the USA however import tax, delivery etc makes that a little bit out of reach.

However I'm looking into custom pistons, currently I am in talks with omega (only early stages but still). However as with many custom inquiries they need a minimum of 20 pistons to be ordered, so basically I'll need at least 4 other people to come along and get some custom pistons with me. This will be great for other people in the UK/EU doing a custom 5sgte build as it will give us access to high quality pistons (omega are VERY high quality). Unfortunately I am not certain on a price however I would guess the more people come along the cheaper it will become.

There will be a discussion in terms of how we spec these pistons in terms of fitment compression ratios etc before an order is placed, both on this forum and a few others.

Cheers

I still dont see the reason why anyone would build a 500hp fwd car, and much more to spend thousands on building a 5sgte, unless they are sponsored.

Im not discouraging anyone, unless there is money to piss away, i am more than happy with 300 hp non turbo engine. But i guess it must be some form of challenge, or goal...

But getting a group buy on this site for pistons, would be something interesting to see..

I cannot even sell a 20$ floor mat with out getting asked for discounts.....

If you have the money, swap something reliable to enjoy, dont start a project u can finish, trust me Ive been there...
