I can supply Ross Racing pistons, but from past experience the supply can be a little slow and they are around Ł550 as far as I remember.

Accralites have a bit of a reputation IMO.

Std Mahles aint all that after set amount of boost. They will crack between the ring/s.
Some Mahles are cast then machined so not 100% forged.
There are loads of options which dont cost anywhere near Ł600 and steel rods to suit only cost Ł150
Regards

) will tell you that standard Mahles are fooked beyond 1 bar of boost, but mine had all manner of shit thrown at them and lived. I replaced them to upgrade, but because they gave up.

1.5mm oversize is common for forged pistons. And i've never seen a block crack because of it.
MK - what happened to your other engine? Didnt it get good power on the RR?

296.4bhp & 349lb/ft
but.......................
i left swarf/metal filings in the intercooler after chopping & moving the pipes around
which in turn got sucked into the engine, fucking it totally
snapped valve
fooked head
damaged bores/pistons
so i learnt the hard way that an airline will not blow out all the shit that gets in there
so having a new engine built now
