piston ring T to NA ?

[mtrans]

I need help, I need piston ring on 2500 Fiat NA diesel and my buddy have kit for the same engine but TURBO.
Approx they same,is it possible?

[TimpanogosSlim]

wow, uh, ok.

if the pistons have the same overall design i would imagine the rings are the same. turbo engines MAY be lower compression by design but that could be a head difference or a piston shape difference. or a head gasket difference.

Fiat's are kind of an unknown here in the USA. You should do some searching on the internet and get reliable answers. We only know VW's (and struggle to keep THOSE running)!

Yes,there is forum but lot less info than this,much more on computer ones,do you think they know about  Governor Mod,pump pressure or...
Yes my motor is different ,but that is NA classic car.
I know you have 1.6 TD and 1.6 NA,I just want to know can I put TD rings(old stock,quality ones-free) in NA motor,size is same 93 mm and dimensions.
Perhaps Libby,Fat,Mark or?Best

I would measure the rings on the other dimensions you don't have and call the mfg and see what they say.

At the end I find my friend who do only VW,and he say he always use TD rings for NA.
By him,they are stronger and better one,never have problem doing this.

TD rings into an N/A motor would be an upgrade unless they are physically incompatible, that is being different dimensions such as TD rings being thicker or the pistons being a different size. VW didn't do that, but as far as what FIAT did, I have no idea, this is a motor that seems to have been sold in a few countries only, I think there might not be any on this continent, at all.

Parlez vous francais? You might have better luck in the French forum.
