Hey guys,
I was talking to some guy about total seal piston rings. I was just wondering are these any good? whats the cost? and who makes them? for a 1330.

I was also wondering who makes quality pistons that could be used for turbo application, so with a low compression of 11 to 18cc?? for a 1330, so +0.60

Cheers

what are total seal piston rings?

are you talking low comp pistons for your car so you can run boost?
i was told you can machine out hypatecs to get the extra cc's.

That's a big margin - find the ideal C/R and work backwards from there.

I would presume that C/R of 8.5 to 9.0 to one would be ideal for your application.
