Hello all,

Anybody know if it's necessary for CP or JE forged pistons to clear the lower oil squirters?

Have you pictures?



Many thanks

It's necesary for all pistons to clear the oil squirters or they knock them off.


Did you mean necessary to be machined to clear the oil squirters?

I think the Cp's might be Short enough to clear anyway with out modding, They where defo a lot shorter than my stock pistons. But I would still check them very carefully.

I had no clearance problems with my CP's but like Odin said, you should check it anyway.

If you order the JE Pistons direct from one of their US suppliers they have a specific piston for our engine, which includes the notches for the oil squirters.

cp pistons and wiesco will definately clear the squirters, but not sure on other makes

Ericsperformance parts says me :

We have the CP Pistons that will clear the oil squirters. The CP
Pistons do not have notches in them like the JE's do becuase the skirt
on the CP is shorter than the JEs, which also makes them a bit
lighter.

Let me know if you want to get a set of the pistons.

Can you confirm it please?

Thanks

thats correct, the cp skirt is shorter, if i were you i would go for the cp pistons over je, but thats just my own personal preference, and i think they are cheaper aswell. very durable and proven good pistons.

Ok, thank you. I think I will take it.

But I don't know if I take it in 86mm or 86.5mm 8.5.1 ?!

Gti-r block have a nyckasil traitment, and if I will buy 86.5mm, I must to rebuild the block and lost this traitment.

What do you think about it?

its entirely upto you, if the bores are good then stick with the 86mm pistons, but if in doubt then get the bores checked by an engineer.

the compression ratio is down to personal choice, i opted for 9:1 comps with a thicker head gasket, but my car wont see anything below 3,500 rpm as it will be used primarily on circuit, 'although still road legal'
but for a car used mainly on the road, then i would go for 8.5.1 ratio with a 1.2mm head gasket.
really does depend on what you want to use the car for!

Where I can find a 1.2mm head gasket?
erics shop:doh: you will get roasted for that sort of question in the future!
