Question about forged pistons
Posted: December 7th, 2011, 2:29 pm
I am reading in several forum's many different opinions about forged pistons.
I read in a Peugeot Rallye forum that someone change his Wossner forged piston with JE and it makes from 160hp with Wossner 180hp with JE. Same thing happen when change JE with Accralite, the engine makes 184hp and with his last choice of pistons was Omega, the engine makes 195hp. All this without to change anything else (same head, same camshafts etc)
I know that each company has their own design, different piston skirts, CR, weight, dome volume etc.
I want to ask if this is possible to happen ? In other words in my engine if I change the Wossner pistons with CPS is it possible to make more power ?
I have also see the CPS pistons for my engine, it is more expensive than Wosnner ones that's why I choose Wossner it was cheaper, but they have the same design. How is it possible an engine to make that much more power just changing pistons ?
