Hi,
until now I have built some m20 strokers with 81mm eta crank and 130mm rods with 2.7l or the other known way with 84mm m52 crank and 130mm and ended at 2.8 l.
But now i want to go further and invest in custom pistons. But which concept is the most sensfull?
Here what I already have in mind and my view.
1.
Ireland Engeneering Mahlesport Pistons:
They work with 84mm crank and have 85mm bore.
You get about 2860 ccm and they have a dome shape which fits to the original head. But the ccm gain is not so big.
2.
Ireland Engeneering custom forged pistons:
They have a flat top which doesn't fit to the 885 Head casting. I think this must be an disantvantage and tends to knock earlier? or maybe its necessary to cut hemispherical chambers?
3.
Metric Mechanic Sports Piston.
I think they have the same problem like NO. 2.
But you can build easily build an 3 or more liter engine.
Or are there more good pistons on the market?
I have all necessary cranks to combine to be able to build a good stroker.
(81mm / 84mm / 86 mm/ 89.6mm. But which would be the best piston.
Engine is for street use and will not be reved higher than 6500 rpm.
