Hey Everyone,
Thought i'd pop up & say Hi.
Just read a couple of post re my baby, so thought I'd answer your questions.
My car is the Matt Black ke70 in the latest Zoom mag (yay, haven't seen it yet tho  )
When the article was written we were making 393hp @ the wheels on 1.5bar. Couldn't go any further because the clutch started slipping on the dyno. Anyways, ran a season as it was and did a best 1/4 mile of 11.4 @ 123mph.
Pulled it apart & upgraded the clutch (now has a quarter master twin plate & moly flywheel) and also upgraded the fuel system, rewired the Motec (was pretty much thrown together to start with & had heaps of electrical bugs) and did a bit of general maintence.
Had it back on the dyno, 2weeks ago, and he is now putting out a very healthy 473hp ATW on 2bar boost .
Had an event last weekend, but the driveshaft universals couldn't handle the extra load & snapped on my 2nd run  .
But we have another event on the 14th Dec so see what happens there.
Cheers
Gina
Ps - Hi Bill, yes Andre is Crazy. I'll get him to send you some updated pics of the Evo, you wont believe what he has gone & done now!!!

Sorry, I'm a little unsure what you're saying.
Is "pushy" Aussie for "your a tosser"??
Hope not everyone on this forum is this negative!!!

"pushy" means pushbike, bicycle, whatever  I dont think philmelvin really believes he can pass you on his bike
How the hell are you guys getting that much out of the little 4AG? What sort of dyno do you use? Dynojet? Dyno Dynamics??
You must have a hell of a lot of fun steering that beast down the 1/4. Surely it cant weigh more than 1000kg with a driver.
How late in the revs does it make full boost with the GT30? I was worried about going for an internal gate GT25R!
Cheers
Phil

G'day Gina, congratulations on your achievement, 350 odd RWKW from a 1600cc is phenomenal, and is it true that you are doing it with the standard 8:1 4A-GZE pistons & standard treated rods?
There's quite a few of us on here that have done or are doing custom 4A-GTEs, myself being one, so your zoom feature did cause a bit of interest.
I can't believe you've pulled another 80hp out of the thing!
BTW, you might be interested in a few threads in the tech & conversion section, where one of our forum members (Stuart/oldcorollas) has sliced up an 8:1 GZE piston & magnified & has come up with some interesting findings on them. You obviously don't need any persuasion of there strength, but it's interesting none the less.
Here's the links:

first of all id like to say congrats on the effort with the mighty little 4ag. would love to sit in the thing as it hurtled down the 1/4 mile lol.
oh yeh, i think if people reply to this thread, they shold look at the bottom of T1MID's thread, cos it says "cheers, Gina" lol, i dont think some people realised a woman pilots the little beast, not her husband lol. more power to chicks driving powerful cars i say.
so what have you got planned for it next after you get used to the new power-up?.
cheers, SS.

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.

those are questions you just don't ask V8 supra!! 
Gina,
BIG HUGE congrats on the car, makes me feel proud to own an AE71 (brother to the KE70) with a 4a-ge. I would LOOOVE to turbo it but unfortunately i just dont have spare parts lieing around like you do! damn!
I love the matt black too! Just like mine only 10000 times cleaner!

hehe - you can have the keys, they are no use to me!! No door locks & no ignition barrel, just a button
I have never actually added up the cost. Lots of the parts were hand me downs from our Evo drag car.
now how do I attach a picture?

I don’t know your thinking of the right evo.
Our evo is the Blue Evo3 "DOCILE", featured on the cover of Zoom a couple of months back. Andre has run a best 1/4 of 9.59. We were making about 700hp atw. It has just come back out, after another set of extensive mods, but we haven't quite got it finish yet. Hopefully have it running by the end of the year.
Gonna be running on methanol, larger turbo, extensively lightened etc etc.
Cars were cheap to buy here, until the Govt changed the laws for importing pre-96 cars (not up to frontal impact stds), but in comparison I suppose they still are relatively cheap.
Our import drag scene is growing quickly, and the cars are getting fast. I don’t think the V8 guys know what to do!! 
We are looking into bringing the Evo over for the Jamboree next year, might have to sneak the corolla into the container for a bit of fun too!!
I'm just waiting for my web site guy to load the pics to our site, I'll let ya know when they're up!!
