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

It's for a gt4 so 4wd.

Yeah I was just seeing if I could get some interest see if anyone would like to come in on it as it's a minimum order of 20 pistons.

Yeah, unfortunately it's not looking likely for me doing a 5sgte build as I've spoken to a company who have done a few of them and slave's advice from early in this thread and it turns out there's way more work than others made it seem.

However in case someone from the UK happens to stumble on this thread in the future looking for 5sgte pistons, give "MKautorepairsandtuning" a call. Very experienced and very friendly, they made their own spec of je custom pistons so certainly worth giving them a call.
