Now this may have been discussed before but I did a quick techwiki search and found nothing.
So I was in at the engine machinist shop to get a block done and we were talking about the good pistons that were
in the dud A15 block. They were actually E5 mazda pistons which from calculations give you a slightly higher comp ratio
Bought new rings - ok
E5 - Mazda 323 fwd 1980-85
Interestingly these came out in a TURBO version E5T (but only in Japan) BUT, the ford laser turbo, which is bacically the same
car, was availiable here.
So where am I going with this?
Does anyone know of a reason why you couldn't use Ford Tx3 turbo pistons in an A15 boosted application
instead of the expence of getting custom forged ones?
