lms1977 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 I believe pistons would just be too much $$$ for the average guy imo.. now maybe the big time racer would but even then I bet the piston would be 3 times the cost.. would be neat to see if it helps thou Quote
Nieskes Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Good job zilla, you googled "carbon pistons" and clicked the first link! Quote
ATV Galaxy Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Titanium bolts with drilled out centers filled with plastic substance. It's actually stronger and lighter then a solid ti bolt. A good friend of mine was a factory Suzuki mechanic and moved on to aviation was telling me about this cutting edge technology a fewyears ago. Lighter rotating mass equals quicker rrevving motors....

Nieskes Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Good job, you didn't do shit yet again.Whats the point? Quote
J-Madd Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 You want more links? http://www.techbriefs.com/content/view/2258/ http://www.schunkgraphite.com/sixcms/media.php/1696/08_04e.pdf this one is about carbon-carbon composites. http://www.carboncompositesinc.com/carbon_composites.asp they all say the exact opposite as j-madd, they are stronger, last longer and lighter than steel/aluminum pistons. Most of my post was referring to the new aluminum. And technically the carbon would "burn" before the aluminum. AL would just melt. But, that being said I was wrong about the carbon after reading the links. Quote
