what pistons would you recommend?
Turbo Mini Forums

what would be the best pistons for a turbo engine? that will be +40 so is that 1310cc?

thanks ben

depends on a lot of things...budget, power etc?

cast omega, forged omega, forged acrelite

if money was no object there are cheaper, but you get what you pay for in pistons ( and most things tbh)

Yes i moved to the darkside

I'd go for aluminium pistons , the cast iron type are too heavy in my opinion,

where would be the best place to find the aluminum pistons?

carl thought you'd have opted for Ti pistons

Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet

if he makes a set if Ti pistons then I'm ordering a set for my 850 lol.

You'll struggle to get anything other than the cast Omegas in +0.040", last time I tried the Accralites were special order only & well overpriced.
A decent cast piston is fine, I'm running the cast Omegas on a minimum of 15psi & have been doing for nearly a year now.

minispares alloy mega's + 40 are also a good set.

Im running Hypatecs with no issues as of yet! I ran a few stupid boost when i first ran the car too and they survived very well!

I think theyre squeezed cast or summat?

1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

How may psi's this year mike with your new actuator. If your strong enough to fit it that is

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

go for the cast omega pistons from MED well proven & good!

the ultimate piston is ACCRALITE forged pistons very well made around £400 ish .......

fab, the minispares mega pistons are good but ................... they will not stand the SLIGHTEST touch of detonation with forced induction as the ring lands break up quickley, for many uses on this forum its ended in tears................ carl runs them in the DON and they have survived but he pays attention to fueling and timing so theres no detonation.

great results in N/A engines though

You're right but I think that when you're modifying your engine

You HAVE to pay attention to fuelling and timing.
put 30 deg timng and 15 psi's on 9/1c or 24° at 15 psi and 14 afr or unlivable whatever you want you'll kiss your pistons

M00any use on this forum show guys that don't know about nothing thinking that they can go thru money, making themselves some shit to not spend a penny !kiss your pistons

Sorry,
