Spare N52 piston....

Hobbs64 · 01-03-2019, 03:30 PM

Exactly as the title says. I am looking for a spare N52 piston out of a 2008 ish 238 N52 engine. I need to buy one to send to Wiseco for a custom piston project. Let me know if you have one to sell.

That’s all the info you’ll give us on the custom piston project? Seriously? Lol

also, why Wiseco?

They make fine stuff (I've had a set of their pistons in a motor for 12 years), but I would look into Mahle Motorsports. They already have the N52 piston design (because they made it), and probably know more about the N52 design than a 3rd party manufacturer.

I wonder who made the custom pistons for the Turner N52 race car? I bet it was Mahle, but who knows.. I almost snagged a set for free, but I missed it by like 3 days and the guy tossed them out.

I've got a buddy having an s54 built by the engine builder for Turner here in NC. Going to go along and pick his brain on the n52 and see if I can unlock any secrets, especially since I plan on making mine a track only car in the next 24 months or so

Wait wtf makes you think I'm just going to GIVE AWAY my pistons just willy nilly? Lmao

Yeah, I've got a few pistons out of a late 2010 build date N52 motor. Would this work?

Sorry guys. I already pick one up and got it to me piston guys. I chose Wiseco on this because they have a wide variety of custom N54 pistons. and the motor is for an FI project. Thanks. I apologize to all for the tardy response.

too bad, I was hoping some sort of stroker kit was in order.
