Hey guys, does anyone know of anywhere I could get hold of 86.5mm pistons for the rallye. Have been told by both pug and my engineering company that they cant get hold of any? Cheers.

you either need to source a block with less wear or stump up £600 odd for aftermarket pistons, there are cheaper but personally I would not use them given the feedback I have read from respected and proven engine builders.your dealer was probably lying by the way, 1st oversize is no longer available but second oversize is still listed, 0628 G8, £557. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Welshpug is correct, if you are looking at standard items I would be tempted to buy another engine with less wear. It will be a lot cheaper than a new set of pistons.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Cheers guys. Having looked on ebay theres forged pistons available at a lower comp rate.. How much power loss would this make to a standard engine remembering i'd be interested in low boost charging it in the future but I cant afford it atm. Are these pistons just for high boosted cars? IIRC you can run low boost on standard internals?Also my engine rebuilders have suggested sleeving the bore as an alternative and claim its something they do on a regular basis on fast road and track cars, does anyone have any experience of this and tell me if its a bright idea or not? |

Dont put them in a Standard car!!!And They are no good for low boost either. Basically only any good if you are going high boost or turbo ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

Ah right. Just wondered if they were good for low boost and using them briefly in between! Nevermind! |

I got a second hand low mileage block which was like new for about £60..... Don't waste your money unless your planning on building a high comp engine for cams and bodddies or low comp for high boost or turbo.________________________________________ Black power baby!

I would steer clear of the cheaper aftermarket pistons, there is no reason why you couldnt use some aftermarket pistons in a standard engine.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

If you did that it would be gutless if it ran and probably wouldn't combust all the petrol properly due to low compression and not being mapped for it. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

I once ran a high boost engine on a low boost map whilst I was running the new high boost engine in prior to having it mapped. It went very well actually, just didn't have the grunt at the top end.  Different story once it was mapped though.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

there not the right compression for high boost either only for superhighboost! it is possible though i believe that Lynx have done a similar thing before whilst someone got the bits together for the supercharger!________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

Yes, I also ran in my Super High boost engine using a high boost kit and map, it didn't work out too bad, although with that you are only dropping from 9:1 to 8:1, so it's not such a huge drop as 10.8:1 to 8:1! ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Just how much does your C/R ratio increase from a head skim?I know its a bit how long is a piece of string but i wonder what the range is? Are we talking 10.81 or 10.89 etc? ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

Minimal, it's more of a concern with valve clearance than what affects the CR on these engines when they're skimmed. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

You could build it with lower comp pistons but it would be gutless almost like running on 3 cylinders. If your thinking of high boosting and not going to do alot of mileage untill then, then yeah id say go for it. But if your low boosting then just go standard________________________________________ cherry p1.....SOLD (regreting this)blaze p2.....why did i buy this SOLD Black p3 |
