I want 160hp(/nm) / cyl -rods. BMW can do this?

Why 138mm... those Saab pistons that I bought you see...

Why Saab? Because im impressed when 4cyl engines make 660hp. (660/4x6=990 .) Im more amaized when i heard normal saab assembly: 90mm troke + this heavy piston + 147 saab rod + 7500rpm.

Enough of saabs...



Hmm.. Wild idea:

http://www.import-racer.com/sku/CRS5428T3D

Needs adapters, 12pcs new bronce bushing to pistons whith automatic turning machine.

(Some kind of side guiders have to be machined to piston side enyway...)

Have someone tested this "piston bushing", is it bossible?
