rob Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Toying with the idea of rebuilding my 18R-GEU before dropping it into my Mark II.. If I was going to do this I thought that it'd be nice to get ahold of some earlier 18R-G high-compression pistons(9.7) as my -GEU has 8.3's. I'd be using a MS for engine management to handle the change in C/R. Ideally I'd want to get brand-new pistons, but the only aftermarket 18R-G pistons that seem to come up on google are ones that'll take the engine out to 2200cc - I don't want to do this. I've tried Toyota, but they were (predictably) useless, seeing as the engine is getting pretty old now.. Anyone know of somewhere that makes/supplies 18R-G high-comp pistons that are just standard size or maybe +1 or +2 oversize?

crustywhip Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hey I dont know much, but I brought a set of new pistons for my 18r. Il get sizes etc as car is sold and they are just sitting there. They might work for you as they a slightly over sized from memory. Kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 If you sign up to toymods there is a massive thread on the 18rg is a massive resource. You will definitely find your answer wading through there, they are still very popular in oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Speaking for Toyota (I work in Parts) Yes, they are getting old, and parts are becoming obsolete...If there isnt money in the old car parts, they concentrate on Plastic cars without taste. In future, try me as i only give a fuck about old junk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
