Here is the story. This weekend I stripped the engine down in order to rebuild and turbocharge it (car is w201 190E 2.5-16v). It seems that one of the owners before me has overheated the engine and now I have to change the pistions , Everything else is in great condition (I'll be changing all the bearings,valve seals, gaskets etc.). The thing that I'm not sure about is what pistons to get (original MB or aftermaket). I'm leaning toward getting low compression pistion (8.0:1 or 8.5:1 ) since I'm going to FI. Any suggestion on from which company I should order, what should the bore x stroke be so I get the required compression, what price should I expect for a set of pistions ? Is there anything else I should do to strenghten the engine for the trubo setup (since it's already dismentled).

Thanks


P.S. I'm also switching to EFI (megasquirt+EDIS4)

You could always go with JE or Ross Pistons. They both make greak pistons if you want aftermarket.

Maddog, I've decided on JE pistons with a 8.5:1 compression
