Default calibra turbo pistons PICS ADDED

I have a set of 4 calibra turbo pistons, they are the O.E. spec. still on the conrods. All the rings are in place but i would recommend a new set for piece of mind. £130 + postage
I have a 2.0 zetec bottom end too, ideal for a ZVH/ zetec turbo conversion. £50
Both Items can be collected from Notts or Sheffield if req'd.
PM me if you are interested.
Jon

they don't look like calibra turbo pistons (c20let). I think they are C20XE pistons out of GTE, i might be wrong. Wats the part number?

Those are definately not original C20LET pistons, no way, they are totally the wrong shape and are clearly a MUCH higher compression ratio than a LET piston.

As above, I suspect they are XE pistons.

they look like the the early mahle forged type XE piston, (they should start with 86p in the part number under the piston if they are)

they are the same as LET pistons strength wise but will be in the 8.3 cr rather than 7.8 if used in a zetec

As pointed out by ford rs enthusiast (ta pal) they are the early forged XE type, so can be machined to lower the comp ratio or run at 8:3 in a zt turbo lump.

Early XE forged pistons are perfect for ZVH.
