Hi Guys
Once again i need your help.
Turns out my crank has been damaged which caused a bearing knock and some wear on my bore.
I have a set of d16 pistons laying around, considering their availability and pricing here, it seems like a good choice.
Also what brought the idea to my attention was reading it on another thread.
i know i will have to bore/hone the block and use a 5e head gasket but i have many more unanswered questions, so here i go:
1. Has anybody tried this before?
2. what would i have to do to the pistons to make them fit the 4efte rods?
3.Any idea what the cr will be?
4.Max power/boost considering its a td04 turbo on pump fuel for everyday use.
5.Reliability(i know it depends alot on the tune, lets just say the tuner knows what he's doing)
Any other advice will be much appreciated.
And before anybody says go forged, its too expensive for me compared to using the d16 pistons.
