Parts: Pistons
Use: Vintage car - Porsche 924 (1978)
Engine code: XK
Customer: Motorenrevisie Jetten
Our performance specialist receives a request from our customer, Motorenrevisie Jetten, for four pistons for a Porsche 924. The old pistons have become defective and need to be replaced. After an extensive search using the given engine code and vehicle information, it unfortunately appears that the pistons for this application are no longer available. In addition to the original, our brands MAHLE and Kolbenschmidt did have these pistons in their range, but unfortunately, production for this application has been discontinued.
Fortunately, our specialist has the solution: Our custom-made service! With a selection of our brands, we offer this special service to provide customized parts for various applications. In addition to no longer available parts, this option offers many options for specific performance applications such as tractor pulling or drag racing.
We use the CP-Carrillo service for pistons. This American company manufactures customized pistons and connecting rods, with the quality of the product being paramount. From coatings to technical processing: A great deal is made possible in the world of custom-made. Then, a customer's product requirements can be realized, creating the perfect piston or connecting rod for a specific application. In addition to the customized pistons, this brand also offers a wide range of standard-quality pistons.
Our specialist fills out the request form for the Motorenrevisie Jetten pistons with all the specific characteristics and particularities of the pistons. For example, 0.50 oversize pistons were requested for this order. In addition, the customer sent us one of the pistons to be used as an example in production.
After completing the form and checking all the information, we send the piston with the paperwork to the supplier. Our specialist then waits for feedback from CP-Carrillo, where approval for the order is given, and any ideas are presented. After approval from our customer, the production process starts at the factory in America.
