I am pretty sure there is NO SUCH THING asa low comp mahle piston. They are just machined down std ones. If u know different, or can confirm, let me know

white2i

ok m8 thats wot i needed 2 know, whether i needed standard but oversize n then hav them machined

Rick

7.2 is a bit low - u would need to take a lot off and weaken the crown. 7.5 is good enough for well over 2 bar of boost.

white2i

nice 1 m8 i jus workin out wot i actually need 2 buy at the min, then gonna start buyin it up,

cheers

Rick

u want a set like in my sig

Tony Turbo

white2i

Rick

white2i

i presume they are forged m8??

Rick

yes. Cosworth Racing. U machine them down to CR u want. The crowns are 11mm thick!

white2i

sweet cheers m8 do burtonpower sell them or is it cosworth u got them from

cheers

Tony Turbo

Hard to get hold of now though

Rick

Are they? Really?

You can only get em from burton i think.

Tony Turbo

When I was after a couple of sets we rang Burton, didn't have any left. Rang GGR where I got mine from before, and spoke to the same guy I dealt with last time and he only had one type of one set left, I think they were 7.5:1 and +0.5mm.... No good to either of us......

So I rang Cosworth, and they weren't sure that they ever made any pistons for a CVH

GGR said they could get some made but would be in a minimum batch of 24. We couldn't be bothered to wait, and went to Ross and get exactly what we wanted rather than skimming a piston down.

white2i

tony were u go?

Rick

is the ross a central gudgeon pin?

Tony Turbo

Huh?




Rick - Ross will make what you tell them

white2i

do u hav ne contact details for ross m8?

Rick

Tony Turbo

APT are Ross Racing dealers. You can have a look on Ross' site for info on them but they prefer you to order through a UK dealer.

white2i

cheers 4 that m8

scotty86d

do mahle pistons have an m stamped on them at the top?

SafeChav

Not that im aware of, if you look at the underside there is usually Mahle stamped up in there somehwhere.

Tony Turbo

10 points to Safechav


One of the pistons I have here has "MAHLE" and some numbers and letters stamped on the inside of the piston.



Now for an extra 5 bonus points..... Who can tell who produced the world's stickiest bogie?

LEE-RS

safechav

Rick

LEE-RS

LEE-RS

SafeChav

That just sounds gay

LEE-RS

yeah i know but it made me laugh

Rick

Cool, how many u go for? 4 of em? They shift some serius air don't they!

SafeChav

I don't see anyone else laughing.........

LEE-RS

yeah i got 4 of them not used the car yet so dont know what there like in trafic yet might get a new water pump aswell as the water dont seem to be circlating like it should ive flused all the water system but still the same i was looking at a cvh water pump the other day this might sound stupid but they dont look very well designed and look like they could be improved with a bit of porting where the sharp turns are and the casting marks to get it to flow abit better than standard worth a try tho a
