How about a link to the item on fleabay.

Found it, 2k for an extra 300cc

Plus the cost of machining.

i was only asking about pistons and crank as i done a yamaha yz 250cc years ago,
went from 250cc to 300cc and it was a suzuki jetski piston that i used and diff head, so them pistons and kit must be just from another motor and i bet under half the price? u see where i coming from

Dr_evil · Feb 16, 2013

probably just out of a santana I'd think

300Tdi Engine Upgrade From 2.5 Litre To 2.8 Litre. | eBay

Is just a international 2.8 135 hp 6,000 quid on ebay

to put in a 300 block, expensive for 135hp

iwallace · Feb 16, 2013

yep i agree....loads of money, if brought that way.
but what i was trying to find out is what the pistons where made for origanly.
if they were for a pajero 2.8 ( lets say),,,then the pistons would only cost lets say £200.
can you see where im coming from?

piston are aluminium alloy

The kit is based around the international 2.8 so rings,rods,pistons are international along with the bearings and the crank is a reground to 300 mains to make it all work

cheers thor.
i just think uve saved me alot of reading.

Did you find any definitive answer to this thread?

Am rather curious myself at the moment due to deciding to get a 300Tdi lump to re-build as a winter project to go in the D1 at a later date so why not build it bigger and better?

Let us know your findings

Sounds a really good idea but, seems odd that you can just change the pistons, crank and machining. I'd also expect some significant changes to fuelling (injection system, CAC, and turbo) and can the transmission handle the additional torque?

jamesmartin · Jul 24, 2013

they use vnt,turbo,tweaked pump,crank etc is forged and stronger

+1 if you buy the complete engine,

but the OP is talking about just the crank and pistons to convert a 300Tdi.
