Mahle drop in pistons

Anyone done a drop in using these pistons??? just wondering their experience and feedback on them.

Also anyone on here supply them in stock bore size for evo ix?? only seem to find .5mm oversize advertised I am after normal powerpak ones made from 4032 alloy as I am staying around 500whp mark.


Cheers,
BRONCO

^^^^ 85mm from what I've read in my piston search is stock bore size.

I was about to buy these too but decided to go with a 2618 piston since it can handle the abuse better, I'll be running more power and boost than you though

That site has the best pricing on everything I've seen too, next day shipping for us East coasters but I see you're nowhere near that

good to know they finally came out with more sizes.
still no drop ins for strokers,,,suck
that site lists the old stroker pistons with the 23cc dish (last two digits in part number)
the new ones are higher compression and stronger crown with 19cc dish.
compressions will be 8.5/1 and 9/1 for dsm. and higher for the evo with its smaller chambers.

this site is cheapest I found. you have to call for prices. they have the 19cc ones listed

When I put them in my talon the only thing they had for compression ratio was 8.5:1 and the only thing they had was 9:1 for storkers. So I am glad they have more out now.

Let me put it to you this way if the indy cars can use them so can a street car. I made over 500 with my talon with these pistons.
