MAHLE Motorsport MS Piston & Cylinder Set | Porsche 930 Turbo 3.3L to 3.4L Conversion (98mm Bore)

Upgrade your classic turbocharged powerplant with the industry standard in high-performance engine internals. The MAHLE Motorsport Piston & Cylinder Set (Part Number: PS98-009) is a premium, race-proven upgrade engineered specifically for air-cooled Porsche 930 Turbo engines. Featuring a precision-machined 98mm bore and a 74.4mm stroke, this complete set of 6 delivers unmatched structural integrity, optimized thermal efficiency, and the perfect compression profile for high-boost, high-demand applications.Designed as a direct slip-in kit for standard 3.3L crankcases, this set allows builders to seamlessly increase engine displacement to 3.4L without requiring expensive and time-consuming engine case machining.

Features and Benefits

  • Forged Aluminum Strength: Pistons are machined from high-strength forgings featuring specialized narrow and short skirts to substantially reduce weight, drag, and internal friction.
  • Proprietary Dual Coating Technology: Coated with a dry-film Phosphate lubricant to protect pin bores from galling and prevent ring groove micro-welding, combined with MAHLE’s signature GRAFAL® anti-friction skirt coating to lower mechanical noise and cylinder wear.
  • Slip-In Fitment Simplicity: Engineered to precise factory tolerances, allowing a clean drop-in upgrade for 3.3L cases without structural modification.
  • Optimized Compression for Boost: Delivers a reliable 7.7:1 compression ratio (calculated at a 1.0mm deck clearance), safeguarding your engine against detonation under heavy turbocharger load.
  • True OEM Longevity: Air-cooled cylinders are manufactured and honed to original equipment specifications, promoting immediate ring seating and excellent oil retention.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does this kit require machining of the Porsche 930 engine case?
No. The MAHLE PS98-009 kit is engineered as a "slip-in" design for the factory 3.3L engine blocks. It features a spigot diameter that fits directly into the stock engine case registers without requiring additional boring or machine shop labor.
Why does the description list 3.3L/3.6L if it converts to 3.4L?
The individual cylinders match the 98mm bore configuration used across high-performance Porsche performance platforms. When paired with the 74.4mm stroke crankshaft found in 1978–1989 Porsche 930 3.3L models, the exact calculated displacement increases to a 3.4-liter setup.
What are the benefits of the GRAFAL® and Phosphate coatings?
MAHLE uses a dual-coating process on these forged pistons. The Phosphate coating acts as a dry lubricant to protect the wrist pin bores and ring grooves from wear during initial start-up and high loads. The GRAFAL® coating on the piston skirts reduces friction, scuffing, and side-loading noise within the cylinder walls.
Are wrist pins, rings, and clips included?
Yes, this is a comprehensive engine kit including all matching high-performance pistons, cylinders, wrist pins, low-drag piston rings, and retaining clips required for a complete 6-cylinder rebuild.
