zEvo: New pistons and rods for the 2008 engine setup.

Last season I ran a JUN 2.2l stroker kit. It's a good kit but for the 2008 season it's just not good enough.

I will stil use the JUN 94mm crank as it's the best on the market, no questions asked.

It's JE pistons with my own spec on them.

Yes it will still be 2.2l, but with extremely long rods.

No they don't. Cosworth only manufactures JUN's pistons, that's all. Although they make their crank very similar to JUN's but with some minor differences. For instance the cosworth crank is a few lbs hevier. I had this discussion with Cosworth for a couple of years ago, befor they even had released it.

I have my mind set on 9000 when I feel everything is running safe. I think my new turbo will need all extra rpm it can get

I have no clue how Simon have designed his pistons, my pistons are designed by myself and no one else. But pistons at this levels should be rather similar in design.
