(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I am looking into purchasing 94mm Mahle DISHED pistons.. And I find limited info.. If I look at Mahle's on the web I see little or no product#'s. Bus 94mm Dished Pistons I can get for $300.00 and the porsche 914 94mm dished Pistons I can get for anywhere from $700 to $1300.00 They appear exactly the same except maybe the dish's CC which I get conlicting info on too.. 914 stock dish cc is either 15cc or 5cc depending where I look.. Now I am so confused that I would like to be able to identify what I can use and what is really on my car now?? Help...

I think there is a deeper dish in the top of a bus piston to lower the compression ratio. Stock 914 are dished less, "euro" dished less if at all. Why are you limiting yourself to stock 94's? Many owners upgrade at least to euro p's and c's with higher compression or 96mm to increase displacement.

My new heads are getting cc this week but the person whom remaned the headsis telling me the compression ration is over or around 9:1 which i am told is too high by some way to high so I fugiring increasing the compression ratio by any other mods would be counter productive.. If I put 96mm then will I have to have my crank altered too?? lack of ignorance.. |
