Ebay item: 350177142466

Cheaper than anywhere i've seen them before!

perfect for those wanting more boost! dont know where you'd get the forged Pistons to fit them though.

how much do they usually retail at

[sparkystav]

Well when i was looking i was quoted about £1k for custom ones. and i know for brand new 1g-gte ones from toyota are about the same money.

Just looked on TDi's site and they've got then for £980, though they're plus vat. And prolex quoted me about the same from the US.

then they are pretty cheap. what the max you could get out the tte charger. would it go over 250 bhp

[sparkystav]

Possibly, dont think its been done/tried though.

Cant see why not though, reckon 300's the limit though before you get heat/speed issues

i was thinking i might do the internals in the future if the supercharger will go up to 300. will see what happens

You can get the forged pistons from the same place :D

When I look those on eBay...

... and look at my custom internals once I had and they were made for over 600BHP, 550NM and 9000rpm....

... then I would say that they would easily take a power what that engine will never be able to make ;)

Good offer in my opinion... wondering why that guy is not offering a combo package (including pistons),

he should know, when some IS200 would need those conrods, it would also want some pistons for lower CR (9:1)

[Asi]

it does look a good deal to me

Is it not a standard one in the second pic roadrash posted, along side his custom one?

[Rob's Lexx]

ahh yea, sorry, didn't look properly, just saw the forged one.

cheers for pointing that out mate.

The standards rods really are thin arent they!

[Yeldarb]

Now I fully understand what all the fuss is about when people talk about forged internals etc. I knew they were stronger but being able to visualise the different really shows the differences.

Learn something new every day.

yeh the sure are. didnt think they were that thin

yeh the sure are. didnt think they were that thin

And now wonder why some people have blown their engine,

when pushing it over 0.8bar of boost :shutit:
