Testastretta Hi Comp Pistons
 
Would anyone be interested in a set of forged hi compression pistons? JE said they will make them but the minimum order is for 2 pairs, the price the bloke gave me was
$720 for the 2 pairs with all circlips pins rings etc basically ready to drop in - now $360 is a BLOODY good price for pent roof pistons seeing as they are 250 quid EACH from Ducati.

They also do them in +1mm (1037CC) too.

Hope someones interested, failing that does anyone know a good source of pistons in the UK?

what size pistons are we talkin? 102 or 104?

DJ Tera 16-Jul-2004 13:36

Standard is 100mm, the 1037 pistons are 102mm :)

If they are drp ins for my 998S, 100mm i think i might would be interested .

The compression is 12.5 - bear in mind this depends on gasket etc, all thats needed before installing is a deglaze for the 100mm pistons

flemse 21-Jul-2004 22:13

Are they drop in pistons or do i have to get it rebalanced thinking about rods and crank...

12,5 should do nicely or what???? what can i gain in HP..

DJ Tera 21-Jul-2004 22:14

I guess it depends on the weight of the originals - not sure what you'd gain just from them, they're usually fitted along with other parts and work like a blueprint and gasflow :D

flemse 21-Jul-2004 22:18

OK thank,s for the info have to wait until it's getting the full overhaul...
