wossner tu forged pistons group buy high/low comps £444 delivered!!!! - Saxperience

blackie_2k5 · 1st November 2009, 17:24

ive jus sent and email direct to wossner in regards to setting up a group buy for forged pistons and rods from them for us, have asked them to include info and prices for the vtr/s and the 1.4 engines with a pitch of 10-15% of for 5 or more and a further discount for 10 or more, its now a waiting game to see if we receive any joy from the supplier and what if anything they can do for us, i know alot of people are going or thinking of going boosted atm so deceide to do this in the hope there will be some good interest which will hopefully get us a bit of reduction in the hefty price of boosting, anyone who may be interested let me know by posting in here, dont worry this wont go ahead till after christmas as i couldnt and know most couldnt afford it atm but the more interest we get the better price, only post if genuinley interest as i know a few will be and it wont be fair to them if they rely on you participation and your just dreaming, that is all!!

Im intrested

Be interesting to see what price they come back. Just bear in mind GMC already have fairly competetive prices at the minute as well.

blackie_2k5 · 1st November 2009, 17:42

i think gmc's prices are a tad high tbh(arent citunings cheaper then them which is odd?) but its provinng difficult to find anywhere selling forged stuff for my vtr(that isnt ridiculousley priced), used to be loads around a year ago but no where seems to stock 8v stuff now,

banke · 1st November 2009, 17:47

id be intrested

raunchz · 1st November 2009, 17:53

I could be interested in some hi comps if cheap enough to tempt me.

Spanky · 1st November 2009, 17:54

Id be intrested and you no im genuine

Would this include discount if you only wanted say either or, liek i may just be going for the pistons and no upgraded rods....

blackie_2k5 · 1st November 2009, 18:00

i asked for prices on rods and pistons as a package....could maybe wait for the reply and ask for seperates but imo if you buy one you need the other, you'd kick yourself if you spent 500 on pistons and a rod went and thats your 500 gone and your engines still fooked??, what boost you planning on running like mate?

Spanky · 1st November 2009, 18:02

just actuator pressure, which i think is 9psi on my turbo..

Oly thingis i wont be able to afford rods and pistons in one go, no way at all, but if the group buy could split them i could get pistons and maybe get rods at a later date.

blackie_2k5 · 1st November 2009, 18:11

if 9s all your running may be worth just staying stock, i wanna maybe up mine to a bar... so i think stock is a serious no go

Andy_K · 1st November 2009, 18:13

GMC were amonst the cheapest I found when looking last week, plus they have them in stock ready to dispatch. Hopefully you'll get them at a good price direct though

well imjust doing it for peice of mind tbh, and it will prolong the engines life, as stock wont last forever on any kind of boost tbh,

This is why im only looking into the pistons really.

Even so, 9psi, forged, turbo cam etc should see me around the 180 mark

blackie_2k5 · 1st November 2009, 18:27

agreed mate, im in two minds, either forged at 1maybe 1.1 bar or stock at 8-9psi, cant really justify myself jus pistons and stay at 9, was thinking if i just stay stock to buy a spare lump and turbo, say maybe 150 max and them run 10psi. would be cheaper then just pistons

hoping so mate, cutting out the middle man should save us a bit with any luck, not fussed about a wait if it saves me £100

manc · 1st November 2009, 18:43

Was about to order pistons (only) only next month, so I'm a definate and will delay this purchase based on the result of this group-buy just out curiosity to see what saving are available.

I like Saxo_89 dont intend to run high boost and from what I've read and indeed been told by GMC rods are not required providing you dont go silly psi, if you look at Colins boosted GTi over on 106owners you'll note he is running standard rods & bolts, I've actually spoke to atspeed and heard it from the horses mouth that standard rods & bolts will be fine at low psi's, I'm not saying there 'NOT REQUIRED' all i'm saying there only required for high running psi's...

Hope the above doesnt de-rail this group-buy as I'am VERY intrested, providing there is a substantial saving I could be swayed towards having forged rods also.

PS:Any definate timescale's as I have planned a completion date for mine and currently have most of the boost parts...
PPS: Cituning do Wossner pistons & rods for £895 inc VAT just for referance

blackie_2k5 · 1st November 2009, 19:11

not sure on timescale as of yet mate, will update as sson as i find the info, if this is the case with the rods being good for low boost i may just go that way myself as im looking to curb my spending lol but if we get a good price i may go all out tooo, would love to hit 1bar and touch 200bhp but cost is the issue, and raunchz ill find out if high comps can be included on reply to open this up for the n/a lads

Yeh no probs, I wasn't planning on getting hi comps for mine, but if they can offer a great price on some I'll be in - if it's only like £50 off i'll hang on if that's ok

Drago · 1st November 2009, 19:20

Also interested in a set of High comps if the price is right.

blackie_2k5 · 1st November 2009, 19:26

will see what i can sort us

Please dont take my word on whether or not you need f/rods & pistons, please do some research and make you on decision, I would hate to be responsible in anyway for damage incured as a result of advise given.

I look forward to seeing what discount your able to get and I'll make my final decision based on this.

Thanks.
