I got my Pistons from Simon at Morspeed this week. Top bloke and obviously very busy! When I was talking to him he said that he can cut the "13cc" pistons he has on his website to any cc you want so I went for 11cc as this should get me around 9.0 compression ratio. Here's a piccy.. All systems are go now, Just need to nag and whinge at my machinist to get the block done and get it back to me so I can start the rebuild.

Of course I'll cut em in half..

Oh wait a min....they are all at the machine shop so I guess thats not possible....lol.

I'm getting real excited now, Went down the local shop where they have a "Dyno" (also found out that Americans don't know what a "rolling road" is, I said it 3 times and just got blank looks!) I just need to prevent my wife from seeing this months credit card bill as I went a bit overboard to get all the stuff I need in hand and I still have a couple of hundred quids worth to get...

Check the CC 11 don't always mean 11 as i've found out.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.

Yes I will,
11cc was really just a best guess at a starting point. Until I get the whole lot back from the shop and can measure the deck, cc the head, pistons etc I'll not really know, I just didn't want to go the whole 13cc..

I just started assembling the engine and can confirm that the Mega pistons give 38 thou from the deck, thats just about 4cc.

with +20 rebore and a standard head my 11cc pistons will give 9:1 Compression ratio as planned.

Hi,
Compression ratio is basically the number of times you can squeeze a whole cylinder of air into the head. So in this case the volume of the cylinder is 9 times that in the head chamber.
The lower the ratio the more boost you can run.
Cheers,
Gavin :)
