Need your advise about JE Pistons 8.5:1 or 9.5:1

Hi Guys,
I am confused between the JE Pistons 8.5:1 or 9.5:1 for the 2.0T FSI engine. I am already running the JE 9.5:1 in my setup with GTX2867R but I am preparing another engine for another car and I will use GTX2867R kit for a while then I will replace it by EFR7163 kit.

Target:
Like all of us (crazy people) to run an aggressive setup/tune with maximum power the car can get with 0 timing pull

Note:
The fueling here is VERY bad, the octane 95 we have here which is equal to RON98 is like octane 91 = RON93.
I will run the octane 95 we have here with WMI 50/50

What is your opinion/advise?

I will jump the GTX2867R and engine modifications journey because I will repeat it in the coming one! :biggrin:

I was looking for a Rocco to swap to it, I bought a used 2011 Scirocco White/Black 1.4TSI, the engine of it is damaged and it was parked for a while in the agency warehouse, so it looks like what I am looking for.

So, after the engine installation went successfully we moved to the interior! :thumbsup:

I have some requests to have it in the car.



Dynaudio, OEM front parking sensor, 220 power output socket, tire pressure switch, etc...

The interior installation went successfully yesterday but I don't have pics of it yet.

The car will move today/tomorrow for painting, I will go for "Oryx - Weiss with Pearl Effect (L0K1)" which the color I really love it.



The paining process is expected to take around 15 days, and after that I will drive the car for a while then the engine modifications and some parts movement from the MKV to the Rocco will start :cool:

Wish me luck because I think I will need it and more than that too!



more is coming :wink:

Coming along nicely! Looks like the Scirocco shell was just what you wanted and a great place to start.

I love this kind of project. What kind of weight difference are you looking at here?

I am not targeting a specific weight.
The MKV curb weight is between 1,323 kg (2,917 lb) to 1,617 kg (3,565 lb) while the Scirocco Curb weight is 1,298 kg (2,862 lb), so the Rocco is lighter by 25kg or more, I can say 120kg in average.
Also, in the Rocco I will try to move the best from the MKV and install new stuff if it is really better and worth!

Painting update

Here are pics from the painting process;

The roof still pending and I am not expecting to complete the process before 2 weeks!
I found that the front pumper must be replaced as there are lots of cracks inside it, and I don't wanna go for the R style as I like having fog lights & DRL not only DRL.
I want to go for Scirocco rear diffuser conversion to r style, but I couldn't find yet a rubber one on the internet.

more is coming :wink:
