Who runs 18cc Forged Omegas
Turbo Mini Forums

I am looking at getting some 18cc Forged Omega pistons, just wondering who uses them and what they think of them.

What kind of spec engine are they running them in?

Thanks very much.

i use 18cc accralites there the same price!

i think the accralites are a better piston
having said that omegas are good.... you have a choice!

But keep in mind that the Accralites have a lower crown height (by approx 3cc) so a nearer equivelent is 15cc Accralites.


If you want Accralites now is the time to order, I have been waiting almost 5 months for mine, but am assured that a run is being made now so I should get them soon.

i run 15cc omega's, they're still in one piece!

So compared to cast pistons, how much longer will they last.

Also how long do people expect to use 1 set of pistons for (so long as they dont melt)

Forged pistons do not last as long as cast so i'm lead to believe from what i've read.

They are more resiliant to det but tend to go more out of shape compared to the cast pistons.

End of the day most of us would do a max of 10k without a inspection/rebuild at which point they can be inspected.

I'm using 18cc forged omegas in my turbo K engine - should be a reasonable test for them

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

I read that omega and accralites forged pistons were treated to be as good as cast ones in term of bore clearence and shape
how did yours need to be set?
what about this?

Im sticking with cast hypatecs, the accralite just dont warrant £400 bucks, especially if they dont last as long.

I am only going for the Omegas as i have managed to get a set at a very good price, i may be able to get another set if anyone is interested. If they are then send me a PM.
