Hi chaps,
As the title says really. I've had a brilliant idea to turbo my track bike but to run decent boost I'll need forged pistons (amongst other things) but they're chuffing expensive!
In my brain it's fairly simple - measure old piston, calculate mods to lower the compression ratio a smidgen/strengthen, then machine them out of billet and send off for coating.
Has anyone done it and am I being a bit too simplistic?
Cheers,
Fro
