6 customers needed

[Westy]

6 customers needed for 1.2tce forged pistons and rods, so a company can go in to production.... £920 for these parts.... "performance engine components"

Anyone out there????

I think you're a bit mental asking on here for that kind of money haha but good look either way!

I'm pretty sure someone already makes forged pistons

Correction: Catcam's already sell "Forged 40/43 H Section Conrods for Renault Twingo GT 1200cc D4F engines"

Are there really no other pistons already being manufactured, that will fit?

maby worth speaking to k-tec see if they are willing to come to some sort of deal where you get a set and they take 5 if they think their is a market for them, which imo there isnt so far. but if one of the tuners started pushing the boat out with packages then there quite possibly would be!

Are these no good?

Maybe a member from Italy could check them out, to make sure they are reliable?

What can you expect when this is fitted onto a TCe engine?

Does your engine make a different sound? Gains?

Been reading and apparently uprated camshaft can come in different aspects: Rally, race, etc..

for me it's not expensive
it's normal price

but sorry i'v got a 1.6 sont need different pston and rod

camshafts are often classified fast road/rally... As a guide to the performance power/revs caused by changing the valve opening lift and duration.

Pistons would be avaliable in different compression ratios. Lowering the compression ratio would allow a higher boost pressure to be run, giving a higher output when the turbo is at full speed... But, lower CR would give less power when off boost.

For NA motors, forged pistons tend to be higher CR which helps increase power, but not as effectively as using a turbo/supercharger and a lower CR.

Forged pistons tend to be lighter and stronger than the equivalent cast piston, allowing a higher rev limit (if the pistons were the limitting factor )

Forged rods with high tensile bolts will take higher rpm and also higher piston pressures (torque) which may bend a standard rod.

Good luck.

I'm not interested before anyone asks, all I want is a full manifold with sports cat and cams.

 

[MovingShadow]

Well it'd like something for maybe some extra pony's but I'm trying to think which one is the most reasonable + it needs to pass an emissions test.

Completely de-catted isn't an option either.

Rods only from cat cams are 799 + Vat.... So pistons and rods for 920 isn't so bad in comparison is it?

Ktec are not at this point I have emailed David Kirk and said about my plans but they're not at this point right now.

Italy do them yes.... But be good to have some homemade products.

I've been reading too about green men that live on the mood.... They don't do anything for tce engines either.

Forged Pistons and Connecting rods are stronger lighter internal parts of the engine basically reducing weight and improving strength meaning more revs, power can be had.

there is something really strange

the rod are not the same dimenssion

wiseco website is quite obscure also hard to found references ^^

also I understand nothing of german to bad xD

That dude done some serious mods to his car.

160 bhp is a nice number

I think you'll find they are the same distance between bearings. The real difference is that the standard rods have more land around the bearing surfaces, which makes them look longer.

ok maybe it's just an impression
