Are they forged based on a seller sayng there are no forged 87mm Mahle pistons and if they are (not doubting you by the way Wayne) where can I get
some?

There are combo's in the Mouse Motor thread making 130hp/liter, and backed up by time slips.  Now that is definately something to aim for.

Yep, going by the Lounge Mouse Motor thread, you are cheating Stanley.
I'm liking what I see here, I've got a few engine bits around that may soon be enough to challenge Waynes 100rwhp.......Shame I never dynoed the
custom 1300 85.5 x 56 twinport race engine I built for the '98 Targa, not in the running I admit as it was very mild cr but certainly in the
comp....
ps don't worry about Johnny Nice Fella....he doesn't like stuff that others do.

Wow I remember helping to lift the body onto that car and later hearing it wind up through the backstreets of windsor on tuning runs- was a sweet
motor that!

Why would it be American HP Johnny? Engine is in Sweden, Europe not USA.
It's the Japs that seem to have the tiny pony measurement IMO.
You should read the whole thread, it makes for a very interesting and informative read.
I would expect quite a reasonable longevety if treated right too.

There's a lot of money tied up just in pistons in some of those motors. Clever engineering, but for the time, effort and cost involved definatly not
sensible for the average enthusiast.
On a slightly different note why is it that the bigger the motor the wilder the camshaft people seem to think you can use? If everything is sized
proportionally to the displacement (valves, ports etc) wouldnt the powerband characteristics of say an fk87 be the same on a 1600 as a 2332? rocker
ratio may have to come down to reduce lift on the smaller valve I suppose and a 1600 off cam would be soggy compared to a 2.3 off cam. Any other
thoughts?
Maybe stanley needs to try an fk87, proven performer on the old pro turbo cars!

Craig, I have engine building specs for nearly every engine I have assembled in the past 15 years . I have dug through my specs sheets and found the
one for my speedway engine ....
My 1640cc engine had 1mm deckheight , 27cc chambers and 1.75cc piston notches . I have rechecked my calculations and this combo gave me a cr of 12.82
.
I have in the past experimented with comp ratios and set an 1835 engine at 17:1 on avgas with a 20cc chamber , but it ran like a diesel . Heaps of
torque , very harsh and pinged .....

The price of parts generally all comes down to demand. If more 'average' enthusiasts started you use his pistons, he could order bigger batches and
the price would come down markedly. That's why the US stuff is so much cheaper, coz they make it huge batches. Same as iphones and TVs. People
probably had the same attitude to forged stroker cranks in the 70s, "like who such serious engineering", but now they are made in enormous batches
and are reasonably affordable to everyone in the scene.

most of JPM engines use custom pistons and barrels as they are per engine basis hence their expense.............a group buy from JE would be cool
though and we'd all have similar base engines, apples with apples.

Thats what I meant fish, its all custom which makes it expensive. Most if not all of the piston brands will take a custom order, but can you imagine
trying to get everyone to agree on what specs they want for a group buy? At the end of the day you've still got a 1600 that cost twice as much to
build as the 2276 with off the shelf parts and still spanked you!!
I like stanleys combo because it doesn't use anything exotic, making the most of commonly available stuff.

It is Shell V-Power pump gas. 99 octane. Easily available in Europe.
He changed the header design this weekend and managed 252hp at 9000 rpm and with a wopping 8hp increase at 7000 rpms. These are incredible
improvements when you are at this level. He is also going to bump the compression a little and according to his calculations the finished engine will
produce a healthy 265hp / 138.4 hp/lit.
Mahles 87`s are not forged and have never been forged either. Still, if they can handle 2.6-2.8 bar of boost I would not worry about their quality.

Hi BB
So Mahles 87's can handle upto 40 psi boost......wow, can't be too bad.

Confirms my suspicions so I guess it comes down to the tune up with me. Still considering Nissan pistons though. I think they would be more forgiving.
Just need to get a hold of one to check it out.

The first ones are definately Mahle and the second ones are the AA pistons. Which I have also used in 85.5 with the turbo and actually my notch is
currently fitted with a set of AA 87mm pistons with no problems that i'm aware of.
I have used Mahle pistons but don't know about the graphite coating.
If you go by a price comparison you can tell there not forged. A complete set of 87mm B&P for $300 compared to 87mm forged ACL SR20 pistons (no
barrels for obvious reasons) $660. The forging process warrants a higher price.
I can also remember that cast pistons have a strengthening band built into the inside of them which you can see on some pistons.

The Mahles do handle those amounts of boost in the 1641/354hp turbo engine I mentioned earlier in this thread;
- Original crank, not counterweighted
- CB h rods 5,5"
- Mahle 87mm pistons and cylinders
- Single relief engine case
- Fk-89 camshaft
- lube a lobe lifters
- cromolly pushrods
- scat 1,4:1 rockers
- Orginal heads with orginal valves 35/32,5mm. Ported intakes and exhaust.
But if you mess up your tuning they will crack, but so would Autocrafts, JayCee`s, Pauter etc etc. The same engine dyno`d 394hp at the JPM dyno day.
It is not a JPM built engine.
Keep us updated with your project. It is always interesting to read about small, capable engines. Buy yourself a good ECU, add a bigger turbo and go
racing!
Best rgs

Just a quick update for those interested.
I've just fittted new spring plate bushes and lowered the rear end a tad but more importantly I've Just purchased some 87mm Mahle SR20 forged Nissan
pistons.
Should have them next week. Then it's off to DB's to shorten the barrels, pushrods and other bits to make them fit.
Let the games begin

Amazing the symmetry of things sometimes... the Nissan dudes I know through racing say that running VW pistons in an SR20 is a pretty common trick...
apparently they're a bit lighter and also slightly increases the compression !!!

the nissan pistons have the same gudgeon size as a volksy but they are 7mm shorter.
this means everything will be shortened 7mm. Barrels. intake, exhaust mods, pushrods and tinware.
and yes they are much lighter and are also coated with anti friction compound.
