I heard of a 2.0 for sale with Hypereutectic pistons. Looked them up on the internet and saw one (only one) negative report about them. The article said they can't take the heat. This was on an 8 cylinder with a blower that was being road raced so I don't know if this had anything to do with it's blowing... They lost # 7 & 8.
Anyone know anything 'bout these? bruce |

They work great. I used them for years in SBC's and 2.0 4cyl engines. They actually work very well with heat. KB moves the top ring down on the piston a few thousands to help keep the dome heat away from the compression ring.
The reason Nitrous guy's dont/cant use them (blower guy's really shouldnt try) Nitrous cools the pistons quickly and Hypereutectic will shatter with the very quick cooling of a Nitrous blast on a hot piston. Bruce.. you will find that 90% of the VW Type 1 volume engine rebuilders have used Hyper pistons for at least 8-10 years now in their engines. B |
