Was the piston on the right machined for a 16v or 8v head Simon?

The one on the right is a 968 piston machined by Baz for 8V 2.7 head around 10 years ago after reading an article on the 3 litre he first built . Left are the Woosners .
Here is the spare liner I have , just in case . As you can see nicosil coated prior to fitting for the Woosners .
Hartech has such a good reputation and well set up to fix the thousands of broken Beetles around the world , he is not interested in getting anymore of the liners made .
I would guess Capricorn might be able to help.

I have wondered if the Wossner 16v turbo piston bowl is much larger, and would lower the compression too much if used with an 8v head.

I have had a quick unaccurate measure on depth and have 5.2mm for woosner 16v , 4.7mm modified 968 and 9mm on that experimental piston . From memory the CR with the modified pistons and 2.7 head was 8.5:1 .
The problem is the dish edge is broader with a shallow angle on the 16v pistons so you really need a bit of perspex and syringe to measure volume exactly .


I will send one of the damaged original 968 pistons Baz machined for me so you can work things out if the postman get back to work .

Somewhere I've seen pictures of, and the CC difference between the 8V and 16V heads side by side. I'll search for that.

Is the CR on your latest 16V engine around 8.5-1 Simon?

On the 3.2 16v I have its 8.95:1 with .40 gasket .
I did work it out with the latest engine but cant find the calculations . I will work it out again when I get a chance . I'm sure Barry got his maths right , I just assembled it .
Some modern turbo cars are way over 10:1 Cr with up to date ecu's .

I guess it depends what Baz's plans were 10 years ago. Closer to 9-1 CR would hopefully give around 8-1 with the 8V head?

Eagle conrods used to have an engine calculater on their website .
Enter piston diameter, deck height , gasket thickness , CC , etc and it would work it out and give you CR and piston height . Not sure it’s still on their site but plenty of others on the internet .
Then you can play around with deck height and gasket thickness to find what you need.
I have boxed up piston will stick in post tomorrow and you can compare .

Thanks Simon. Do you know if there's an alternative/cheaper throttle position sensor to use with the DME?

I think there was a list on here showing a 90’s Volvo one was the same but I could never track one down . Martin might know better than me .

Fairly sure I've read anything written here or on the other forum, and I reckon a cheap alternative turbo TPS is a myth.

Install the Vems Paul then you have more options . I believe Peep offers a different tps with his ecu kits now .
