Evo 8 pistons on 6 bolt block

[RedTsi_PR]

I know the pistons fit on the 1g rods using the same method as putting a 2g pistons but my concern is the evo 8 piston has the pin a little up compared to the 1g pistons.Does the evo 8 pistons are gonna sit lower on the 1g block?

Anyone who can share a little knowledge on this? I only need to know if the piston sits lower than the OEM ones

### people always wanna go fast for cheap, that's why.

Modifying rods isn't free though. Manley pistons are probably cheaper than getting evo pistons and modifying your rods to fit them, even if you get used pistons & new rings.

Evo 8 pstons are a factory forged piston i do believe, with a press in pin. There is a vendor in the directory that has some videos on youtube about the Evo 8 pistons in DSM's.

The Graveyard sells Evo pistons I think you can even order them fitted to rods from them. But they claim the 8.8:1 compression ratio is reduced on a DSM engine to aproximately 8.5:1. Not stating that as a fact that, thats what the compression ratio is on a DSM. But thats what they claim.

Just reference there page, they have a little short right up on it. And from the sound of it love using Evo pistons as a great affordable upgrade. Supposedly higher compression, skirts are coated, and 20% lighter than a 2g piston according to them. Also stronger than our stock pistons.


The ONLY question I have about Evo pistons in a DSM block, is does the valve releifs being on the wrong side when installed in the DSM block cause any potential interference problems? Or maybe because of the different location of the wrist pin this prevents any potential problems...but then how does it effect quinch? I think I recall the DSM Graveyard stating that the change in writst pin location was actually benificial some how. If the damn internet wasn't slow as #### here in Afghanistan i'd pull there page up and quote it with a link... shit I might anyway got nothing better to do.

"Evo 8 Piston

Virtually the same as the Evo 9 (Only oil ring land depth changes .010")
Top and Middle rings interchange, Oil does not unless .040 oversize.

8.8 to 1 compression w/ Evo Head
8.5 to 1 (Give or take depending on Head Gasket) w/ DSM Head

Very good daily driver performance piston for DSM's"

Modifying rods isn't free though.

If you build a 7bolt motor, it is

I'll let you know when i put my engine together

I may looking into running Evo pistons. What about running them in the 2.4 bottom end?

this is my block, which is a 6 bolt, forged 6 bolt rods and forged evo 8/9 stroker pistons. I've been driving it for a little while, low end torque is a little lower, but handles high boost all the way to 8k amazingly.

I have the evo 9 pistons and rods in my 7bolt. They fit perfect. I wanted to use 1g rods with 2g pistons but couldnt find any 1g rods. Didnt have enough money at the time to get manley, eagle or wiesco. but its running strong just need to fix a few oil leaks and its good gonna try to hit 350hp good luck man let us know how it goes
