What pistons does everyone run in their race engines?
A reputable source tells me that I need forged pistons and to not use anything else. I know two guys that run 914-4s here in Colorado vintage racing that use the AA pistons, and they said that both of their cars have run 5 seasons with no work required to the lower end. AND they are running 10:1 CR and E85 fuel. This engine will be very close to stock 4-cyl 2.0L with a Raby race cam package and 40 IDFs. Thoughts? Stu |

QUOTE I've run either Wiseco or JE forged pistons in all my race engines. Ballpark costs for those pistons? I dont see any 914 pistons on their website. Also how many racers are using the Keith Black hypereutectic pistons? Do you have any horror stories about them? Stu |

Ballpark costs for those pistons? I dont see any 914 pistons on their website. $600-900/set My race pistons have all been made custom to my specifications. They don't have standard design 914 piston sets available direct, only through dealers. I purchased a set of flat top 96mm JE pistons from Aircooled.net recently but I just checked their website and didn't find any JE products anymore. |
