...more or less than with 1.8l pistons in a beta1?
...more or less than with 1.8l pistons in a beta1?Hmmm good question..
Ill compare the two in a couple of weeks..
I would bet my money the 1.8L pistons will raise it more.. thats if your using the 2.0L rods, crank, and block...

We are comparing 2.0 Beta1 to 2.0 Beta2
NOT 2.0 to 1.8 (which we already know, same piston, different rod length)
A good friend of mine, who impressed me he knew, told me this.
Beta 2 piston uses a full skirt. Beta 1 piston uses a half skirt.
Can anyone confirm this?

Wrong, 1.8l pistons are different than 2.0l beta1. Compression increases with 2.0l rods and 1.8l pistons. I am still comparing beta1 and beta2 pistons...but I compare it also with 1.8l, to put things in perspective wink1.gif

mmmmm.
I heard the other way around.
I heard 1.8 and 2.0 have the same piston and the rods is longer onaa 1.8.
Looks like we will have to wait for someone to provide pictures of both to confirm it.
Hey man, if you got all the pistons there. Please snap some pictures.

Wrong.. the 1.8L has shorter rods... shorter block..
1.8L, 2.0L beta I, 2.0L beta II pistons are all different...
Very similar.. but not identical... like i said before...
You should run a search on Ha.com... this topic was covered before.

You should ask your friend to take another look at the 1.8 and the 2.0 pistons.. not that impressive when hes wrong..

Mmm..
shorter block, but shorter stroke smile.gif but thats another post.
You guys keep comparing 1.8 and 2.0L piston. Lets please stay on topic.
We are trying to find the difference between 2.0 beta1 and 2.0 beta2.
If tigerlilly makes two different aftermarket piston for the two. I am hoping its for a good reason.
Actually...maybe no one should reply until someone pulls out some Rods and Pistons with pictures and measures them.
Thats the only way we will all get an answer we can agree on.
I dont appreciate the post being moved. Since it was a KSPEC question.

REDZ, to keep this on-topic, Im going to lock this until there is an answer to the original question. Since you are most likely the one to answer it here, you can unlock it when needed.
I copied the thread to engine like jaws wanted. So they can all contiue off-topic.
