will 6.34mm be able to hang onto 13-14 lbs of boost ok? or they just gonna blow through?

thank ye

[Ruishy1]

you need a minimum of 6% of the bore size to maintain their integrity. how much has been machined off them mate ?

[285Andy]

ive not taken anything off them yet but 6.34mm is what will be left after ive taken 2.5 mm off them if you see what i mean their actual thickness before machining is 8.84mm.

ta muchly

should be fine up to about 1 bar of boost mate, if you want them to last a little longer i suggest ceramic coating. stops heat entering the piston crown but make sure you have a decent I/C because it tends to heat everything up if you dont.

Fine with 1 bar.
What are you building Zetec turbo or ZVH ???

[285Andy]

just a very cheap zetec turbo i just need to know what there like so im biting the bullet. the cvh in the car needs a rebuild so i thought what the hell. new pistons for turbo cvh cost 450 odd quid plus skimming at another 25 quid a piston for low compression so it seemed a good idea at the time when i was offered a 1.8 zetec from a xr2i

1 bar max will do for me just fine. thanks very much fella's

this guy on ebay does the ceramic coating, my mates ZT has them, 2ltr, calibra pistons, rs500 cooler, FRST management with custom chip. and it hasnt missed a beat. apart from when he crashed into the back of a pug
