why is it that every site that sells SRP pistons, the compression ratio doesnt match the actual SRP site. everywhere i look the part #149195 say that the slugs are 8.5:1-8.8:1 compression in an a6, but on the SRP site it says 9.0:1 with a .040 hg?

im guessing that i should trust SRP's site, but i just dont understand how every other vendor lists them at a lower c/r...

if i follow SRP's site, my c/r of my motor comes out to about 9.35:1, while if i follow every other vendor's listing its about 8.85:1-9.05:1. thats quite a difference...

I'm pretty sure one measurment is witha stock head gasket which I think is ".048, so if you use the ".040 headgasket, thats probably what gets you the extra compression, although, 8 thou isn't alot, but thats all I can come up with

Useing the information from JE's website and the Zeal Autoworks calculator I came up with 8.8:1 for the low compression and 9.5:1 for the mid compression pistons. And that was with a .037 Z6/Y8 HG.

ya but the .7 difference in HG isnt going to make that much of a change in compression...

if the ratio is what SRP says, my compression is a little higher than i figured :sad:

ya I know thats not alot of difference, but, it depends on whos entering what information into what c/r calculator, I was just theorizing!

using the dish measurements from SRP's site in the knology comp calc, i get about 8.6:1 in a 100% stock a6, with stock a6 HG thickness...

hmm this makes me wonder also. i will be using those A6 SRPs in my z6 build. before, i was assuming 9.6:1 but if the pistons actually make 9:1 in an a6, my compression will be around 10

i just noticed that too...

i just overgapped a compression ring :TD:

 

[lsturbohatch10]

that sucks.

 

[ryan89crx]

well im hoping that the knology calc is right, because then i would be around 8.9-9:1 compression. PERFECT!

 

[lsturbohatch10]

well if the knology is right i will be at 9.7. which is ok with me.
