Hmmm, sounds very interesting.

I think that even if these pistons did have a matching measurements to the 3T-GTE:
bore: 85mm (obviously can go oversize)
pin diameter: 22mm
compression height: 35mm

..it would be interesting to see how strong these pistons are. They may be forged, but they may not be well suited to high boost conditions.

Callum, can you find out any more details about these pistons? It would be great to know what model the pistons came out from.. especially what year would be a good start, as the 280 has been around since the 1970s, I would say they wouldn't have used forged pistons until much later than that.

I guess also being a Mercedes, it may not be the cheapest option either, especially if you are looking at buying new pistons.. but it could still be cheaper than custom forgies..

Worth investigating futher.

Cheers,
3T-GTE
