3T-GTE Regular Location: Melbourne Registered: August 2003	Re: Possible cheap pistons for 3T-GTE? Wed, 24 March 2004 00:11 Some more thoughts... First thought ... One thing that we will need to work out is how the piston shape will effect the final compression ratio. The 3T-GTE pistons have quite a dome shape, going to a flat top is going to drop the compression ratio a fair amount... & if the Merc pistons are dish/bowl shaped, it could drop the compression ratio even further. Another thought... speaking with another engine builder he tells me that the Nissan VG30 pistons will work in the 3T-GTE also. Has anyone ever looked into these? Are they forged? A final thought ... Speaking with yet another engine builder friend I have also come across some brand new forged pistons that I could get a full set for $900.00, even includes high quality rings. This makes me wonder, how much cheaper could I do it even if the Merc pistons worked, I would still need to buy rings, & pin-clips etc... I reckon it would be hard to do it any cheaper than $900.00 Any thoughts?? [Report message to a moderator]
