Out of interest did anybody get any joy from Cosworth over the pistons for an S2?

talking about pistons here is my question...
I have talked to some people here in Greece that have RS2's in original pistons doing 500+ hp without any problems whatsoever.in my project i would like to have lots of power around the 450-500area but im thinking not to change my pistons unless the block needs reboring.Will i have any problems with the original pistons??

No, standard pistons are very good and will handle that BHP.

I went the tried and tested route and bought a set of JE pistons.

Ah yes, i've been recommened Wiseco pistons by one of our US members.

I've heard rumours about problems with JE pistons and wear around the wrist pin area.

Still inverstigating mind Mahle look good as well ( OEM piston makers I do believe? )

[s2dude]

Yes. Mahle are good.

Mahle are original items however they aint cheap, any quotes i got at the time worked out the same price as the JE's. Did i mention how bling looking they are
