MINI Cooper S 77.5mm CP Piston N14/N18 10:1

IN STOCK READY TO SHIP!

CP Piston & Ring Set for Mini Cooper S w/ N14 or N18 1.6L - Bore (77.5mm) - CR (10:1) - Set of 4 w/ rings & hardware. Note: All pistons come with the Skirt Coating. Detroit Tuned is the only company to have a 10:1 compression ratio. Through tune testing with RPM, this has been found to be the best compression ratio! This new piston design will fit both the N14 or N18!

High performance, forged pistons by CP Carrillo for R55, R56, R57, R58, R59, R60, & R61 MINI Cooper S models only. Includes a set of 4 pistons, rings, and wrist pins and will be compatible with oversized valves and/or cams. When building the bottom end of your N14 or N18 1.6L engine, it is essential to have the best piston that can handle boost for maximum horsepower.

CP is a division of Pankl Racing Systems, a high-technology racing group supplying engine and suspension components to numerous Formula One, F3000, IRL, CART, World Rally Racing teams and to such elite companies as Ferrari and Porsche. CP forged pistons feature superb ring seal, higher vacuum, lower blow-by, greater durability and increased horsepower and torque through the power band. Better yet, peak horsepower is retained through the life of the piston rings. This is achieved by lightweight forgings and CP's exclusive machining techniques and processes. CP's commitment to racing is reflected in every piston they produce. CP is dedicated to superior engineering, utilizing the latest forging techniques and CNC machinery and backing it up with rigorous quality control; it makes for a top-notch product every time that emphasizes performance and reliability. CP has some of the highest quality control standards in the industry.

Coating Options:

• Skirt Coat / Moly Dry Film Coating: This is the most popular (and highly recommended) coating. The application of molybdenum to the piston skirt is used to reduce friction between the piston and the cylinder during engine operation. It also helps during cold start ups and high temperature operation where a substandard oil barrier on the cylinder wall could exist. This option will really help with wear and overall engine noise. This coating is now standard on all pistons from Detroit Tuned.
  

• Ceramic Crown Coating: This coating reflects heat into the combustion chamber and away from the piston crown, while lowering piston temperatures for increased part life. The engine can experience improved combustion and performance as a result of heat being reflected back into the fuel charge. This coating is optional.

Special noteworthy features:

• Anti-Detonation Grooves:
  Grooves that protect the top ring by disrupting detonation waves. These grooves limit the piston/cylinder contact during high temperature and RPM and are also known as contact reduction grooves.
• Accumulator Groove:
  A V-shaped groove machined in the second ring land to collect excess blow-by between the top and second ring. This groove collects residual gases during combustion and alleviates top ring flutter while increasing ring seal.
• CP groove:
  Stands for Constant Pressure Groove. This groove works as a channel on the lower part of the top land that equalizes pressure to the back of the top ring groove. When used in combination with lateral gas ports, the CP groove helps keep gas ports clear of carbon buildup. In addition, the CP groove prevents the top land from smudging into the top ring if the land rubs the cylinder bore.
• Double Pin Oilers:
  In conjunction with their dual fed reservoir add twice the amount of oil from the cylinder wall to the wrist pin.
• Cam and Barrel:
  Extensive research and development has been done to find the optimum skirt shape for each piston. Having the correct cam and barrel on a part promotes the following: tighter clearances, less noise, better ring seal, more power, and durability. Depending on the forging and application, different cam and barrel profiles are utilized for maximum performance.
