Being a cheap *** that I am I was doing some internetz searching on prices and went to the following sites...im sure a lot will think great another useless post by me, but oh well...

$260 shipped with rings -
ebay Id - forever jdm

$269 + shipping with rings - HMO

$199 for pistons - $129 rings + shipping - JHP USA

$340 + shipping with rings - Inline four

$179 + shipping - pistons only ICB

anyone have anymore to add? so far i guess the cheapest is $260 shipped...

 

did u finally determine the rings are the problem?

260 w/ rings isnt bad, just make sure the seller is legit. I think I paid 275 w/ rings back in the day.

 

yeah it's going to be the rings, nothing was leaking out from the exhaust or intake valves when we did the leakdown test...

 

I got my JDM ITR piston set through forever jdm on ebay as well. He is legit. Good price, fast shipping. Man I cant wait go get them in!

 

awesome, ill be ordering it from him then; unless i can find a better deal...

 

are they oversized pistons? I didnt get oversized when I was using them, and my car smoked like crazy and burned tons of oil. I think the block needed to be rebored or honed or something. I dont know much about ring gaps and bore sizes. whoever is doing your build just make sure they know what they are doing.

edit: sorry Im thinking of CTR pistons

im going .25 o/s...dont worry it will be built by someone who knows what they are doing...

it's going to be a mild build...

maybe you didnt have the rings "clocked" right?

 

no idea...the motor blew up at 20K

 

thanks for the doing all the research....

I've been meaning to pick these up for a long time, but I guess it still has to wait till I check the bores of the block...whether to go OS or standard...

 

I went with the os ones to keep my fresh rebuild from smoking.
