Snowman Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I went to check on the cost of getting some SPFI pistons to put in the carbed ea82 I'm rebuilding for Roxanne, and subaru wants roughly $90 per piston. That seems ludicrous, especially since the entire rebuild kit from NAPA cost me $205 with my student discount. Where can I get OEM-quality pistons from without having to pay an arm and a leg for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonOfScio Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 How detailed is the rebuild kit? I say just grab a rebuild kit. Post a message on the marketplace - maybe has some they can't get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Try Emily at ccrinc. She could advise you of sources and prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. RX Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 You could also try http://1stsubaruparts.com/ , they show a piston and pin for around $46.00, but a complete ring set is $157.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garner Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Yes, 1stsubaruparts.com or subaruparts.com both are dealers in the northwest that do web and mail order. I just ordered a set of oversized pistons for $48/ea. These are genuine SOA cast pistons. I bought rings (beck arnley) at napa for about $50 a set You might also try Ram Performance. The airplane guys. They seem to have some good deals on re-ring kits, cast pistons, forged pistons etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
