I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Looks like the one I made.

What size piston is that as it looks like a 73.5mm Powermax similar to my 1275 Cooper S ones

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

i think the con rod made of tissue is a design error , but thats just me .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

They are the new high strength paper mache ones.

But Simon is definately running a 73.5 bore.

That piston is still in one piece-ish, I think your problem may lie elsewhere

It is a 73.5 but I dont know what make as they were pre-fitted in a kit from the company who's name we shall not speak.

The only markings I can find on it is CP727, any ideas?

Powermax piston

would have had STD as the size stamped into the crown

Certainly nothing stamped on the crown of this one, taking the other 3 out shortly so I'll check those.

I've gone for a full set of 11cc cast omegas to replace them all in one hit.
