Guys
S50/B32 engine>.......

Due to a knocking from the bottom end a full rebuild will shortly begin,a set of Arrow rods have been purchased along wi a set o Shrick cams...,now a set of high comp forged pistons are on the wishlist....i,ve found they're a bit hard to come by...any info on suppliers would be great

CA auto can supply a set o CP ones,but as we all know they can be had for a fair bit less elsewhere

cheers

Hi

USA for JE pistons from Ireleand engineering, VAC, or Top End Performance.

I found TEP really helpful and friendly.... until something went wrong at which point they were difficult to get hold of and pretty unhelpful. Didn't assist with cost to buy new rings when the originals supplied by them were incorrect either, I had to foot the bill as well as rebuild the engine. Still although not perfect, on the whole they were pretty good.

Hi, just a quickie, i have the same engine,

would it not be useful to use low comp pistons, maybe skyline forged ones, as more reliable than high comp.

Just what was told to me a while back, could be chatting crap.

[mt1104]

low comp is for forced induction, high comp is for naturally aspirated. High comp can be more than reliable, the peugeot 106 rallye engine (1.3) has a CR of 12:1 and is pretty reliable.

Accralite list 3 different diameters for the 3.0L version.

Is it the bore or stroke that's different on the 3.2L???

They might whip you up a set if your desperate.
They may requie a minimum number for them to do it though.
Could be worth getting in touch with them.Failing that,have you considered having a chat with the guys at Cosworth????
They have been known to carry out bespoke/one off work
