Good Day
I am busy with a turbo conversion on a Old 2 litre 8v Alfa romeo motor
The standard pistons have a extremely high dome due to the hemispherical combustion chamber.
I found BMW pistons that is the same bore of 84mm and is flat top, it fits fine in the motor an drops the compression ratio down to 8.2 : 1.
I don’t think that the pistons will be able to handle a bit of punishment as I’m looking for about 400 BHP so I’m thinking of ceramic coating them but don’t know if that will make the piston more durable
Do any of you have advice?
