After finding out today I need new pistons and block I was wondering if these are any good for a supercharged blow through set up? And if anyone on here is using them?

"Sold as a single piston and although for Turbos is from original Rover casting and tooling to run on 5psi turbo boost. They use our mega ringset C-AJJ3379-40 If using more boost you need to be working on a lower CR with a total cylinder volume of 55cc in piston/block/head gasket and cylinder head. Also when inreasing Boost pressures it is essential to have a modified ignition advance/retard curve to prevent detonation and ensure the Inlet charge temperature does not exceed 40 degrees C by the fittment of a suitable Intercooler. If our advise is not followed it is very likley you will break the ring lands on your new pistons. As mentioned - cast omegas are pretty much the best option, and are nigh on indestructable.

Looks like he kept it in his fish tank for safe keeping. No wonder the valves were sealing so well |

When cleaning it up yesterday you can really appreciate the time and effort that goes into building a head like this. It looks a lot better now though :) |
