so by id you mean internal diameter?
ifso i would take the 13mm. but i doubt a 14mm would brake. i never took a close look to the f2 na piston but the f2t also has a big dish in it. i guess its bout the same as the na dish only deeper.
they also sell cupper gaskets for the fe3 that are bout 1.6mm thick. so when your piston is 4mm above deck that makes 4-1,6(gasket)-0,7(squish) = 1,7 mm.
so if you'd shave 1,7mm of the stock f2 ( na or turbo) you have a perfect squish. and by estimation i think the f2t piston would make a excellent piston for a stroked fe3 turbo this way. of course the volume of the fe3 head is slighly more than the f2t head ( 4valves compared to 3) but shaving 1,7mm of the piston edges would make up for that.
my engines are @ the shop i work. ill do some messuring tomorrow!
