ZETEC TURBO FORGED PISTONS OPTIONS?
looking at a set for a 1.8 16v zetec turbo running 8.2.1 comp ratio
been told arias pistons do a set but can't find a supplier!
looking at my options as prescent
standard rods with ARP's should be good for 250 brake?
cheers guys

AFAIK Arias don't do 'off the shelf' stuff apart from standard applications and overbores. They are however prepared to custom machine pistons to your spec. There is a form to fill out on their website, once filled out, it takes about 4-6 weeks to deliver your pistons. Price is about 600 pounds, you can call for advice they are very helpful. Take a look at American piston and rod combinations, off the shelf for 2.0 Zetec turbo. CR is quite high, but you could get them dished a few cc and they would be great. Forged rods come with them so no need to worry about something not fitting. the price is really good too.

delt direct with burton not ctm buddy
guy i spoke to was very very helpful & understanding & this issue should'nt of happened if sales people asked the right questions & got the right answers before sending pistons off for machining not just assuming that i was using a c.vh head
maybe thats the cause of you rattle as well matey
yeah would be good idea to get together for a group buy,let me know what info you find out regarding replacements
spoke to ian Howell the other day do me a set of arias forged to my spec for approx Ł550ish,not sure how fast he can get a set machined though!
trying to look on web search for other types & makers,not much luck the moment
they did offer me a new set but i am scared of this problem rearing it ugly head again so going to take money & run me thinks

didnt just cause a rattle, as they expanded the piston height grew and ended up clouting the head!
thus fooking the bore nicely and all the bearings
and ultimately leading mine to smoke like a coont

im not knocking accralite as a manufacturer cos i know others are using them in other applications with success, unfortunately burtons seem to have mis-sold them as forged or good enough for turbo application. which they obviously arent
