Closed - Group Buy opportunity for ZC turbo pistons frm Tuner Toys
Updated:Okay Guys,
We have made the deal with Race Engineering on ZC pistons, but we have to buy five sets. We're going to do a group buy of those five sets, and pass the saving along to you guys for helping us meet our buy-in quantities. You'll end up saving about $40 ove what you would have spent buying direct from RE. So we have set up a special page for members from HMT in our online store. Anytime you click on our banner here at HMT, either in the banner area, or in our signature, you'll be taken to this dedicated page. Anytime we have a special promotion for HMT members, it will be listed in the dedicated page. It will not be in our regular store listings, only on the deddicated page. As of this posting, the ZC piston GB, and a GN on D-Series rods are available through this link. Click the banner ad to get connected. The HMT discount does not apply to GBs, so don't use it. As always, let us know what you think. Craig http://www.shadetreetuner.com/images...nner468x60.gif The follwoing is from the original post..... See our Piston promotion in the For/Sale section here - https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=51879.0 Okay Guys, Tuner Toys is going to add pistons to our product offerings...finally! A lot of you have been asking us to carry them, and now we will. We met with several manufacturers this year at SEMA, and lined up a supplier. We have to make an initial buy of quite a few piston sets to become a dealer, and need you guys to tell us what engines you would like us to carry pistons for. We'll make that initial buy, based on what you guys tell us in this poll. We'll then return the favor by giving you guys a deal on those very same pistons you have asked us to carry. Each user gets two votes in the poll. We plan on making our initial buy in the next week or two. Once the first shipment arrives, we'll be blowing them out to the folks who responded to the poll. |
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
What's with the compression ratio's? They're too low.
I vote for 81mm 9 to 1 B18 a/b 75mm 9 to 1 D16 Those would be the only two I would get if I had to stock up on them. ;) |
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
The b18a/b/c should not matter one bit, it bearly affects compression. I'd stock a b series sets, and a d series sets. and then after your buy in i would stock some zc sets.

Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
Way to go craig, i voted for b16 and d16 pistons. Although i think the b18a/b pistons would be just as popular to many other people.
|
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
are these stock or forged pistons?
i'd prolly get a set of B18C's, and my buddy is gonna boost to hell-rebuild-reboost his LS so he'll want B18A's |
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
no d16z6?
|
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
Craig D16 is an obvious choice. I would think the LS piston would be the next best bet as far as sales go.

He's asking what motors he should carry pistons for. I think the B17/a/b/c is becuase of bore size |
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
definitely d16a1/zc ones (ive been looking for a set that won't lower compression too low)
then b18a/b ill end up buying the zc ones with the d series tuner toys rods i need! ;) :y |

Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
lets make a deal craig..... if you start carrying 9:1 cr b16 pistons, i'll be first in line to buy. :y
|
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
f22a pistons, we need more lovin us accord guys, and our pistons like to break or I like to break them I should say so a stronger set would be nice. Plus if cb7tuner heres about it you'll probually have a decent amount of people buying them. I also voted d16 since thats what most people run.
|
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
Im most likely going to be building a b16 or b18c1 here pretty soon so thats what i voted for
|
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
Craig I just put a large order through you last night but I still need rods and pistons for the engine build.I think the 81mm B18a and D16 are the way to go.I will order a set as soon as they are available.Any idea on when your going to see some?Also I was going to pick up some eagle rods or tuenr toys rods for the B18A as well put no stock on either.Do you have more coming soon?
|
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
is there any difference between d16a6 and d16z6, if not, then the d16's are a definate choice. :)
|
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
What's a D17Y8? I have a D16Y8. I thought the D17s were different, like not Y8. :-\

Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
FI ZC/a1 pistons would be nice to see on the market, especially at a decent compression ratio. My other vote was b18c.
I need 2 sets |

JP D17A's are in the 01-05 civics. they have vtec :6 |
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
Thank you, sir. So not all D16's are the same? That's crap.
JP |
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
im not a D-series know it all, but the D16a6 is in EF-Si's non-vtec, and the D16y8 is in EG-EX/Si's w/ vtec, and i think they're in the EK-EX's too
|
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
i would like a set of 8.8:1 B18C pistons....exactly what i will be needing...i am assuming they will be cheap right?
|
Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
8.8:1 or 9.1:1 in a b16
Im itching to buy some. |

Re: Tuner Toys to offer pistons, need HMT's advice on what to offer...
