Sun, 23 November 2003 01:43 No, I don't need convincing as to the strength of the standard pistons The whole engine package remains as listed in the Zoom article. With the exception of the fuel system. The rods are standard, with polished/shotpeened beams, and ARP bolts. The pistons are std 8:1 GZE 0.5mm over. I'll admit to being a bit surprised at the ability of the package. In a way, it won't be a big surprise to anyone if it does go pop, but until then we will see what we can do with it. I don't see the need to go for big $$ internals until they prove necessary! However, what proves reliable for 10 odd secs down the strip, compared to what will hold together for 15-20mins round a circuit are two different things! The car is tuned by Andre on a Dynapack hub dyno. Before the last dyno session, we had decided to run the car till we achieved 500 rwhp, or 2.0 bar. Unfortunately we hit 2.0 bar first I will happily scan the power/torque, and boost pliots if there is enough interest. TE72_Turbo - Depends how much boost you want . The full 2.0 Bar isn't available until 5500rpm, but 15 psi is reached at about 5000rpm. At 15psi it still makes over 300 hp atw! As for further mods..... traction is next on the agenda - not much point having the power if it all turns to smoke. Gina [Report message to a moderator]
