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

I don't know about your pistons, but this should help a little:

I was going to dish some Weisco's and was thinking that it would be better to mirror the chamber shape in the piston as this would keep the Flat areas of the piston and the chamber ( the squish band ) at my .040" deck... My thinking is that keeping a tight squish band  helps reduce the chance of detonation.

You guys have any thoughts on this?

+1, i try to keep the chamber shape too for the dish,better squish  as you say ,

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
