Post subject: | floating wrist pins feel baggy zetec turbo 20v t pistons |
Hey guys, its been a while since i asked a question but this issue im having has got me stumped, Im in the process of building a forged zetec turbo lump, however im am cutting a corner by using audi 1.8t 20v turbo pistons, paired upto some ebay special forged rods (which appear to be identical to all the other rod manufacturers) [eBay]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-Focus-Fiesta-RS-2-0-Zetec-ZVH-Turbo-Forged-Steel-Connecting-Con-Rods-/330979616344?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4d0fec2658[/eBay] i picked up a set of Audi 1.8t 20v pistons with the 20mm gudeon pin, 0.787" for you imperial bastads (i kid of course) the pistons are 80.95mm (pretty standard piston size designed to fit a fresh 81mm bore the gudgeon pins are also the same size as any zetec forged piston i can find woosner mahle superteck je etc etc on measuring the pins with my digital verneir they are indeed 19.99mm +- 0.1mm the bloke in the machinists shop (Specialised engines in gray) who deal with mostly ford engines said "oh right yes we've had a few lads use those pistons" so i thought great, this isn't something unknown or unheard of, plus theres that guy in the ford mag who done this exact same conversion, (but he had his std rods machined out) whats got me stumped is as far as i can tell all forged zetec turbo pistons come with a 20mm wrist pin it seems to be pretty standard all the forged zetec rods some with a 20.64mm little end so that leaves us with 0.64mm clearance, 0.0252 inches 25thou whatever you prefer now maybe im being stupid but when the piston and rods are assembled you can clearly feel that 25thou of clearance now i know they are supposed to be "floating pins" but with that kinda clearance my concern is that these rods are going to get smashed to pieces within minutes of starting the lump up, so i was wondering if someone could help clear up this confusion i have and clarify if yes 25thou of clearance for a fully floating piston is correct and the engine oil would take up the slack or no thats way wrong those of you who have built forged zetec lumps what size gudgeon pins were in the pistons you bought and what size were the little ends on the rods im itching to build this lump but have run out of fund to buy a new set of wOOsner pistons at £550 this is the last piece of the puzzle any info would be greatly appreciated i am itching to build this lump and chuck it in, the pistons rings have gone on my decomp plate zetec turbo (after 2 years of abuse at about 230bhp)[i was expecting the decomp plate to go first] Cheers Dom |

Just a quick follow up on this turns out standard uk spec zetec e gudgeon pins are 20.63mm st170 pistons run a 20mm gudgeon pin but the rod length is to long to run VAG 1.8t pistons also US zetec engines run a 20mm gudgeon pin, rods were sent to machinist and rebushed to 20.01mm for 80quid |

the guy who originally sold me the rods has had 3 sets made up especially for those who wish to build a 1.8 zetec turbo using the Audi Pistons [eBay]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-Focus-Fiesta-RS-1-8-Zetec-ZVH-Turbo-Forged-Steel-Connecting-Con-Rods-/231100325477?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35cea71e65[/eBay] these are probably a one off, they are abit pricey but rated to 600bhp, the audi 1.8t 20v pistons can run inexcess of 400bhp so for as little as £400 you can build your self a strong bottom end |
