antgti 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but i cant see where else it should go. I am currently rebuilding my mates TT engine that he got from Pug Performance. I am going to have to replace one piston because it metled on to the liner, i just wondered if i can use a 1.9 piston and liner and just get the comression taken down in the bowl? Also i am in desperate need of a piston liner and rod, so if anyone has one, please could you let me know? Thanks for any info or suggestions you have Ant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matty_gti 20 Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) IMO Id source a complete set of liners and TT pistons and swap them that way, although you could get away with swapping just one TT piston and liner over it wouldn't be the best plan.

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted November 10, 2008 If your using aftermarket management you can use a std 1.9 bottom end, Are you sure it's a TT engine as many are just std 1.9's these days and I;ve seen allot like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antgti 0 Posted November 30, 2008 Right, my mate wants to put in forged pistons and have lots of H/P. Now i have built 7 litre diesel engines for 3 years and this is scaring me cos i dont want it to go tits up. I just wondered if there is some one on here who builds the engines to a good spec for good monies, or if there is a build guide that i can read up on. Or if anyone got any advice or help? At the min i have 3 standard liners and standard rods, and a cleaned up block, flowed head that just had a skim. Cheers. Ant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted November 30, 2008 Depends on what you call lot's of HP, as you need to think about the gearbox as well which is often overlooked, A LSD is a must at the very least. Engine build wise you can spend as little or as much as you want, bigger turbo, Larger intercooler, Re-located rad etc etc Any question's give me a call, details on my website and local too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seating the liners will be the biggist issue i think. Thanks for your advice and will prob give you a call some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
