13:0?

 

13:1 is what he meant.

redz can make mistakes too...lol good one redz fing02.gif

 

Niccceeeee...would stock rods be alright with these pistons? Would new rods be a good idea?

 

No, I meant 13:0 .

That's what they were labeled.

In each piston note though it says 13:0:1

 

its 13.0:1

otherwise 13.0 by itself not 13:0

Don't quote the post above yours.

Guys, the compression is LISTED.

Damnit.

I just copied what the damned titles said, I do it all the time. ENOUGH.

 

OK SIR! drillsergeant.gif

Come on relax REDZ everybody knows itΒ΄s 13,0:1 I think they are just picking on you.

I know it's not David's specialty, but how about some comments/info or whatever on these pistons? I mean, jumping from 10,1:1 as we OEM have to 13,0:1 is a pretty big jump, I guess ECU upgrade is mandatory, and maybe some other mods... are the OEM valve clearences still the same?
Any possibility at all to get some intermediate compression pistons? Maybe 11,5:1? (I don't know if cost of switching pistons would be to high compared with benefits from a raise to only 11,5:1 compression, but I guess you gain pretty much by those also... )

I don't know, it just would be nice if David/Tigerlily or anyone else can feed us some info.

 

stock rods should be just fine. you still need to worry about tuning to these. if i were to get em i would want to prot polish the head new cams and tune the shizzle out of it.

 

I'm always happy when I see products made for 1stG...

REDZ, How do I know the bore size that I need?? I have a friend who has the 1.8 DOHC MAP here in my country. I know that I bought the low 8.5:1 82mm

the 82.5 mm and 83 mm are for the Beta II?? or still fits the Beta I??

he is very interest on buying it....
