I am also interested in these Pistons. They are in the Pankl Group. Thsi is a good reference btu i also like to hear comments.

What about Cosworth, are thay making custom pistons that we can approach?

[Billman]

I dont want to Hijack the Thread but when i am thinking of pistons then other things come into my mind too: Coatings, lateral gas ports ect. What is good what not? Target: Reliability and Longlife. I dont something extreme that can do well for 30000km and then goes hoops.

[Jamo]

Billman yes no hijack please, look at Mark Halligans for info on gas ports.

My friend and a bunch of other Volvo people are using these in their B230FT 8v and 16v builds and from what I gather they are working great. They looked like nice pistons when I helped him build his motor.

Here's some pics of them in his build thread.

Not really interested in doing that mate, you can if you so desire.

Has anybody got any comments on CP Pistons please?

[Jamo]

Had some interesting stuff back from CP.

We do have that engine on file ( S2 ) and can make stroker pistons to your specifications.

Cost $852.50 with lateral gas ports CP groove and contact reduction groove.

Pistons come standard with double pin oilers and accumlulator grooves.

What rings do you uses? We use our CPN rings. Info on them is on the last page of this link

what kind of wall clearance do your pistons run at? .0035”

[Jon441cc]

Heres Albert's CP's

[Billman]

what coating do they have?

[Jamo]

I take it back the 0.0035" is 0.0889mm which is less than JE pistons.

They seem quite friendly on emails, this requires further digging.

[Flat on my back]

Wiseco recommend 4 thou piston to wall clearance.

Jamo, Go with some Cosworth items... You know you want too
