High Performance Piston Rings

I am looking for piston rings that are better than the Goetze. I was looking at the Total Seal, but are there any other brand that make this high performance piston rings?

While I cannot tell you what to use, I would advise you to consider which cylinders you have since some rings since they are not all compatible with the various ring offerings out there.

My bad I didn't tell which cylinders I have. These are for a 3.3L Turbo with stock cylinders.

I'd be using Goetze rings unless this is a race engine at high boost.

Sorry for the late response. I've been out for a while.

I am running 1 bar at boost possibly going to run a little bit more. Is it ok to use the Goetze?

One would need a lot more detailed information to offer anything constructive.

What octane fuel in use?

Twin-plug or single ignition?

Exactly how much max boost?

CIS or Engine Management?

I am currently doing the EFI conversion.

Single plug
93 octane
Right now I have the 1 bar spring, looking forward to be around 16 to 18 psi in some time.

I will tell you that 93 octane isn't sufficient for 16-18 psi no matter what rings you have. Without 100+ octane gas, its a recipe for new pistons & cylinders.

Our 935's ran 1.3 bar (18 psi), however we had factory racing head studs, sealing rings, twin-ignition and 110-112 octane fuel.
