Mahle racing piston/ cyl set ?
Trying to sell some stuff a friend had. He had a stroke and will never drive again...sad story that many of you know
Anyway, he has a set...NIB... of Mahle 100mm racing pistons and cyl for an 84-86 Carrera that he never even took out of the box. I have them listed on eBay but would like to know what HP you'd get with them installed in a good tight engine. That would help with the eBay ad. |
Mark- I don't know if this helps and of course there's many factors. Mid-80's Ruf Mahle kit with 98mm / 10.3:1 compression ratio, Ruf's ECU and exhaust they claimed 260 hp DIN.
(If its OK with the rules, perhaps you can post it in the parts for sale + ebay link??) |
Well it all depends on what kind of crank, exchaust, heads , inlet and fuel system is going to be used
And what compression the engine will have after install.. Cylinders & pistons are but one part of the equation It's going to be a really big ball park to throw figures around |

74.4mm stroke and a 95mm bore is 3164 cc
74.4mm stroke and a 100 mm bore will be 3506 cc a great deal will depend on what compression those pistons have and what kind of heads (ported, twin plugged, intake size and fuel system) |
Thanks for the help guys. I personally dunno all this tech stuff as you can tell. Just tryin' to help Doug's family. His 911 sold as did his Hummer. House will go to a short sale. Some furniture also sold. Only these P&C's are left. I'll post all this on Parts for Sale and incl the ebay ad. Somehow I think it'll be a tough sell.

100 mm on a 3.2 = 3.5 L
I'd start by finding out what the set lists for new from a retailer that moves the most of them, then take pictures of everything and post them to a photobucket etc.. Nobody will want to cough up that kind of money only to find you scratched a cylinder or dented something from inattentive packing. My guess is you're North of $3k on these if they are really NIB w/rings and wrist pins. |
Thanks for those suggestions BG. I have looked them up and they retail now for about $5700. All the pics I have are on the ebay listing. Wrist pins are all there. I offer a three day return. I do agree it's not likely to find someone who wants this exact set but the box was unopened when we removed it from his garage. I just had to unpack to take pics and return them to the original packing. I started the bidding at $3K..

Sounds like you're on the right track, good luck on the sale, and good on you for helping the guy out.

I have a nibble on eBay but he wants to know the compression ratio. I guess I should write or call a supplier but thought one of you guys might know ?
|
any part numbers on the box?
|
Not on the box that I can easily read...faded over the years, but on the cyl's so I can go from there. It's shown in the ebay ad I think... I'll look at my copy and enlarge so I can read and then edit this post to give it... Stand by
|
OK...here's a screen shot. Not all that easy to read. I don't have them in my possession at this time but they are at a friend's home...I can go up and see if I can read it more clearly if need by... What do you think ? I'm just guessing that this is the part number..

The cylinders don't matter, 100 mm is 100 mm
it's the pistons that make the added value. |
Well, I guess I understand that but I would have thought that these always came as a set with part number designation. I'll try to find them online at some supplier and go from there.

a great deal will depend on what compression those pistons have and what kind of headshttp://www.sdra.info/h.jpg

Understood The heads are stock...or at least I didn't find any others in his shop and it was thoroughly searched.
|
I have a call into the Porsche guy at Mahle in Tenn. Hopefully he can answer the question if I give him some numbers. I was referred to them by a tech at a Mahle distributor in Nv.
Another number I found on the box...just a yellow sticky note: 911 103 100 23 Maybe this will mean something to one of you guys ;) Thanks again to all of you for trying to help out... Pelican forums are fantastic... |
Best info I found so far from EBS Racing is this:
EBS Racing - Porsche Parts Exclusively While these are 98mm it's 9.8:1 Compression. |
EBS says they were discontinued for some reason but would be 10.3:1 Given that and that he was going to use stock heads, what HP do you think you'd end up with.. ?
Guy from Mahle just said 10.5:1... |
