I picked up a 2.4T core motor I am going to rebuild to go in one of my 914's, someday...
It will just befor around town, maybe autox.

Question is regarding pistons, it needs new ones and I am either going to find some in spec used ones or go with JEs, and keeping the T cams or regrind E. I would like to get a little more kick out of it while I am at it but I will not be running an external oil cooler so wondering if I go with E (8:1) or S (8.5:1) pistons, would the increase in compression ior E cams mpact operating temperature to the point where I would need a cooler. Any experience, insight?

Thanks for the quick feedback and links everyone, much appreciate and just what I wanted to hear. Sounds like it should be fun and safe....heat wise....

I thought about the 2.2T pistons but I would like to stick to regular octane (I am cheap)and the 9.1:1 is pushing that. Looks like custom 2.4S JE pistons and birrals are $1440, not bad all things considered, thankfully I got my core cheap.

Now back to the not so fun rust repairs.....
