Guest dan4011 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 hey guys, as some of you may know the rings in my n/a turbo are trashed, its an n42 block, recent rebuild, honed, rods redone, bearings, turned crank. all that good stuff. so i kinda want to reuse this block, i was thinking of just going with some forged pistons and i guess depending on what damage there is when we tear the motor down get it re honed. but i dont want to change my compression ratio from what it is now, im running the n47 head and stock n42 block with dished pistons, where can i get a set of forged dished pistons to keep my compression ratio the same, i guess if you cant keep that compression ratio i wouldnt want to go any higher. and i dont want to get a p79 or p90 head because ive already gotten my n47 ported and polished.

Guest dan4011 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 well i was also thinking about getting a set of zxt pistons and rings, shouldnt change my compression ratio. im not going for extremely high performance here, just something i can run around 15 lbs of boost on and beat up on a little bit without worrying about detonation or my rings going out. anyone have a decent set of zxt pistons. rings or not, ill replace them before i put them in.

2003z Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'm getting ready to pull my turbo pistons out and replace them with flat tops. The engine was a rebuilt one from the previous owner, so they should be in good shape. email me mike@thepowdercoater.com and I will let you know how they are when I get them out. I've got the engine out of the car yesterday, so I should have it torn down within the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
