Just got my new babys in today.

Check them out, new Mahle pistons for my B16. It's so so sexy I just had to share.
Comes with new rings. Pistons skirts are coated.






Got them from Lenny at http://www.Competitionwarehouseusa.com, very nice guy, and excellant service. He is a good engine tuner also and well known in SoFla.

Sweet.. try not to detonate on these now eh?

 

They look great!

How much $$ aren't those super spendy? What makes those different from other pistons?

Mahle design pistons for Porsche and other High end cars....if it's good enough for those cars, it's good enough for my rust bucket.

Besides they look so sexy......and killer price too did I mention that...got them for $426.00 shipped.

The pistons specs are
Bore: 81.50mm/3.209"
Piston weight: 278gm
It comes with Grafal skirt coating and it's a low expansion alloy so you can run tighter piston to wall clearance.

Just felt like trying something different.

 

We have teste the Mahle pistons on a b16 turbo hier in Germany, we had problems with it, one time brocke the ringlands an the other melt a piston.
We trade it for some CP, and the car is running licke a champ.
This pistons are good for some Fast Granturismo German car but for honda engines they don´t have enought experience with it.
Good luck

 

OH NO, they are not CP (h-tech bandwagon) your **** is gonna blow up

J/K, Let us know how they work out

Earl and other engine builders on this board said they were having quality issues with Mahle pistons. That means a lot more to me than thinking people hate them just because they're not CP's.

 

Weiscos get my vote.. been runing them for over a year on 18+ psi on stock sleves... not 1 problem

 

dont you love how every piston/rod/sleeve/bearing/part thread becomes a brand war....

wantboost, you are absolutely right, it's pretty sad IMO

 

It is. I have heard about some quality issues with the mahle pistons, esp. the h22 ones. I was gonna run wisecos but the guy i bought from has scammed me (fixing hat problem as we speak )

so i'll probably run endyn rollerwaves or something

 

yea those pistons are dope!!! i was gonna run them in my gsr at 84.5mm but there was like a 10week wait for that size.. so i just went with BME

good luck with them and get them ***** in ASAP.. and prove the bandwagon false
