searching for pistons
Turbo Mini Forums

I have to have my block rebored, the previous machining company f*cked up. now I have oval bores and wider near holes the head than down the bottom.
The block has only seen 4000KM after the rebuilt, the crank etc is brand new.
I am looking now for some help obtaining a new or used set of decent pistons with rings for a fair price. The car is for fast road use and running at about 7PSI.

Also suggestions on make, model and size are welcome. I have to start somewhere
I would appreciate all help all positive reactions will be rewarded with a picture of my sister.

thats my worrie, what type mega is suitable for turbo use?
what about the Morspeed pistons? or the company, seems that i cannot get hold of anybody there.
I did a search on the net and found a lot of pistons. not sure what to get now.

Whats your budget as the JE pistons from MorSpeed would be my choice.

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

well, the budget is something as 250 pounds on the pistons alone, but this may have to be adjusted.
money is oke, just need to convince the missus about the necessity of a turbo engine.:cool:

Omega pistons are very good, although quite expensive.

im using +40" AE pistons and no probs coverd about 5 k and a trip to york drag strip

love that straight cut scream!!!

cheers guys,
Has someone ever tried or got in contact to Morspeed??
Anyways, minimania seems to sell some stuff, but are they also in the UK?

The 'mega' pistons are based on the casting of the genuine AE 'turbo' piston. I use them in my motor, no complaints or problems.



*****TD edit*****
Please see this topic for up-to-date info on the suitability of the minispares 'mega' range of pistons for turbo use:

Send me an email Arno...

Oh, and put your location in your profile please. (new rules)!

just updated my profile, didnt know the new rule.

TD, I first have to trick her to take her pic. any particular pose?

I didn't mean send us an email of your sister - i meant send me an email for more piston info!!!
LOL!

simon is easy enough to get hold of if you keep trying he's usually busy so doesnt always answer the phone. never had him answer an email but he's full of good advice

omega cast would be a good option, they're quite cheap now.

I've gone for the forged omegas
