mrkd5916 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 yes there is, as far as i understand the 5e pistons have a +3cc dome on the top of the piston, which would give you a higher compression ratio, if you up the compression ratio you redues the engine lag, so to drive it off of boost, would feel like a n/a car, Link to post Share on other sites

Johnboy GT Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Talk about going off topic Nazz mate, Fuck engine talk and get that caliper sorted! If you remove the rubber seal around the piston and pump the brake (when the caliper is off) slowly so that the piston begins to show itself. You will be able to have a look and see the piston body. This should be a clean and shiny surface, if there is a ring of rust or its pitted or dirty then thats more than likely why its not working. Polish it up with some sand paper so its nice and smooth again and then try it on again.Be carefull with the rubber seal as they tend to go all soft and tear easily. I did this for the old van because one of the brakes was binding. 1 hour job back down and she went through the test again! Link to post Share on other sites
