Those mahle pistons won't go to waste even if I don't use them, I'll put them In the GFs DCI engine seems as that due a set of rings anyway
only problem I've got trying to use those vw pistons that match the rods spec that I posted above is they're 1.4s.
Pistons going to be to small for the...
It's flows enough for 120mg/stroke , should be plenty in the little 1.5
plus on the upgrade side, that pump can be modified being two stage not a crappy single stage pump that I have now
200hp will be my aim, wether the engine can do that will be another question.
Someone did have a 180hp...
I don't mind paying over 1k , it was just fardon didn't really want to do them as diesels isn't their thing ...
i had looked at turbo 5's rods but they are way to small
Good people over at Mahle, sorted me a set of k9k pistons for around £500 delivered from France. Actually was less hassle to get pistons from them than over here
Nope haven't compared them to an F4r rod, I wouldn't think they would be the same size ?
134mm C-C , 26mm small end, 47.6 big end
That's who I've asked Fred :D
they seem abit reluctant to make me a set. Even after I've been in and given them a spare rod to measure
Already got my Mahle pistons coming from France
Anyone know a place I can get the them made?
Contacted my local engineers , they have quoted me 640£ but it doesn't included VAT or labour for them
in other words it's looking over a 1k to have them done.
Does that look right?

Yeah bits you can buy to get the stupidly power tanks
and buy CR to upgrade your own tanks.
Im having fun charging around in a t1 Cunningham fully equipped to e5 Level :D
do have a T18 aswell but it's annoying with no 360 degree turret
Well spinksy has told me I have to be at his no later than half 11. Then 45-1h to the meet
by the time people have had a bite, looking on 1pm before we start driving
should be alright mate :)
Martin ok I have to agree on that one lol
ben, the 80 is cheapest tax at £20 a year.
80 is ment to get the best of mpg from all three but I'd say the 65 wins that but has no guts
as Martin says if you can find a tidy 100 go for it.
Just make sure it's not got fuel pump problems if it's high...
