about to order my pistons i wanted to see how everyone feels on the RS Machine piston line.. they claim not to be NPR or topline(ebay brands) and claim to be as good as OEM

any input on this .. 150 with rings isnt bad.. but i dont want some thing thats gonna have problems

 

Would like to know also...

 

EDDIE / DAVE do alot of motor builds for us - we get the B20 pistons put in the B20 block build we do....alot. We never have any problems with the pistons or the assembly -

 

Somebody please clarify something for me...

Nippon pistons supply pistons to OEM manufacturers, correct? Therefore Nippon quality = OEM.

 

Ive heard nothing but good things for the RS Machine pistons . I plan on using them in my own B20 build when the time comes

 

It seems like rs machines is lacking on shipping. I read some of their ebay feedback and some guy on here is complaining...I really need these pistons so i guess im going to take a chance and buy from them. Ive asked a couple of questions and where to paypal and never get a straight answer.

 

I have these pistons in my motor.

They turn me on

They are just like oem. Not noisy like some Forged pistons could be.
They slapped right on OEM rods so no expensive rods to buy. They have been in my car for about 10 months or so, seen about 6-7 drag events so far, various dyno runs, runs against the occasional curious folks (oh typeR...lets spank it )
Made the power in my sig and times in my sig. All on pump gas.

What else could I say. Best bang for the buck.

 

now thats info i like to hear

 

i agree

 

more opinions please

its either these or oem p30's

 

Hell, if i keep hearing bad **** about rs machines service. I might just have to go oem also. Which is an extra $100

yea im skeptical myself

 

I'm in the same dilemma, but the way I see it is, if OEM is an option, why go aftermarket?

 

THe guys at RS never treated me wrong... Thanks Rich& Dave

I ordered my Seibon CF hood from them, they were pretty good about answering my questions when I had them.

 

I have purchased 6 or 7 sets of piston from RS Machince and there service was brillant and I am in Australia,the engines they are in all run without a problem so I would recommend them to anyone.

I have a set of 20 over ITR pistons.They have worked great so far for almost 10k miles.They looked just like OEM pistons, with the skirts coated and everything.Only problem i had with them was they accidentally sent 84mm pistons instead of the ones i needed. But they shipped the right set out before i even shipped the wrong ones back to them! Great service i think and i would buy from them again..Check out their thread in the HT marketplace in the performance section. to RS machines

 

thumbs up from me as well...bought about 1 thousand dollar worth of stuff and got fast shipping and quality products

 

Aren't they on here? I think they have a rep, they do sleeves also for good prices seem to very reputable.

 

I have used the b20 pistons with good results. a few weeks ago I tore down a b16a with rs 81.5mm pr3 copy pistons. It had low compression in two cylinders and the pistons had cracked ring lands. stock b16a.
