Wheres the best place to buy pistons and rods from in the uk as I'm ready to buy them for my engine??

 

Ian howell

 

either ian howell or talk to PEC, states are cheaper, but i had a five week wait for mine to be made and shipped. you can get standard ones shipped much quicker though.
must be money burning a hole in your pocket lol!

 

Haha you got that right lol

 

Jano@oddkiddcreations mate

 

You wanna get a rod and piston package if funds allow from Ian

After all he is the daddy zetec turbo builder

Long rods with a short piston makes for a much nicer rev

You could go else where but he knows exactly what to get and supply

Bit like jg yb engines lol

 

this is my input too, if you want it right and hassel free speak to ian

 

Jano gets a good deal

 

as above,all depends what you want and how much you want to spend...

buy 2nd hand new ones to the spec u want ;0) cheaper than new, mor money to spend elsewhere!. thers a few people selling zetec turbo pars on here maybe worth goin thru their threads!

 

Personally I'd go to Ian for a short motor build as it will have warranty and you know it's a bad ass build
You may well need machine work to accommodate the said pistons anyway

 

cheers for the help lads!!

 

Ian gets his stuff from the states though, so would still need to wait.

 

But sometimes he does stock bits as I think he gets the deals if he buys a few sets at a time
And that way he saves on the delivery

 

best to talk to ian, otherwise there are some rods and pistons in the for sale section. someone unloading loads of their gear at reasonable prices.

 

I run CP pistons and Eagle rods, what power you going for?

End of day the most important factor is a proper assembled engine, balanced and the best tune possible.

PEC package would be more than suitable if the above is right.

 

just sorted my order from the states, eagle rods and je custom pistons

Takes 5 - 6 weeks

 

What website did you order them from?

 

You're talking to a man from Blackpool!! You've more chance of getting them to stop tampering with donkeys than getting some one else to build an engine for them, unless it's for free!

Pikey Performance!

 

Another for Jano@Oddkid.

 

Haha your dam right mr c pikey and FAST!!

Spoke to raj this morning hopefully he's gunna sort me out with a set from the states
JE pistons with eagle rods to 8:2.1 compression

 

How much are they can you find out when he getting them from

 

I got my cosworth racing pistions and rods from simon at sitech racing. At the time i was buying mine i didnt want to wait from ordering them from the states and i called loads of diffrent places but simon give me the best price for the pistions i got.

 

getting them from the states won't take long, i only had to wait five to six weeks due to them being 86mm and had the rings a little further down from the crown.
