Title: Dishing pistons Post by: Peter on January 27, 2011, 20:35:31 pm Hello guys,
to lower the CR for the turbo i would like to dish my wiseco pistons. 11 cc would be the max.. i found out that a dish of 84 mm and 2 mm deep would give me that. so there would be an edge of 5 mm. Does this sound ok? thanks Title: Re: Dishing pistons Post by: Zach Gomulka on January 27, 2011, 21:23:51 pm I don't know about your pistons, but this should help a little:

My thinking is that keeping a tight squish band helps reduce the chance of detonation.
You guys have any thoughts on this?

Darren +1, i try to keep the chamber shape too for the dish,better squish as you say , here's a good example : http://www.lnengineering.com/type1.html Title: Re: Dishing pistons Post by: Peter on January 30, 2011, 12:30:26 pm Thanks for the reply guys,
i would like to mirror the dishes, but that way, i wont be able to drop the CR enough.. Title: Re: Dishing pistons Post by: ED2.4 on January 31, 2011, 19:01:43 pm yes and no, because the dish is wider than 84 mm on the ends ,
so it must compensate a bit , nice for a N/A engine ,but on a turbo i would not go closer from the edge/first ring than 5mm Title: Re: Dishing pistons Post by: Peter on January 31, 2011, 20:48:36 pm thanks guys,
well i have a new solution; a guy i know can drop off the heads in germany to cnc the chambers.. he thinks i will be able to get 10 cc more out of them :) |
