:stop: bad idea on the pistons. forged are the only way to go with a turbo.
well the mpg is stripped down to nothingness and it will be at the media blasters Monday. I get to watch them remove the old paint and what ever else is there. after I GET HER HOME I WILL FINISH MY HOME MADE ROTERICERY AND GO TO WORK I HAVE TAKEN ABOUT A HUNDRED ROLLS OF FILM OF THE BREAK DOWN. AND ONE OF THESE DAYS I WILL POST SOME PICTS, BUT IV'E GOT TO GET THEM DEVELOPED FIRST. ALSO MY MOTOR IS BACK FROM THE MACHINE SHOP EVERY THING DONE TO PERFECTION, THE NEW SVO/SVT HEAD CAME IN ALL ALLUMIUN AND BEAUTIFULL, WAITING FOR THE NEW INTERNALS AND I CANNOT I REITERATE I CANNOT WAIT TILL EVERY THING IS HERE SO I CAN GET IT READL FOR THE DINO TEST AND SEE WHAT SHE IS GOING TO DO. WELL WISH ME LUCK JOE
Good luck! Make sure she is getting lots of fuel, with those hyperutectic pistons and a lean/detonation they will burn a hole in them in an INSTANT.
HEY GUYS AND GALS. I'M ON MY WAY TO GETTING MY 76 MPG PUT TOGETHER. IVE GOT THE TRUNK FLOOR REMOVED AND THE NEW ONE INSTALLED ALONG WITH MOST OF THE REAR END. ALSO MY CHOICE OF REAR END HAS CHANGED TO A TOYOTA. THE UNIT IS OUT OF A 1988 SUPRA, AND IT IS FULLY INDEPENDANT WITH A 3:55 LOCKER AND ALREADY HAS DUAL PISTON DISK BRAKES. BELIVE ME IT HAS BEEN A LONG THREE WEEKS GETING THIS THING IN THE CAR. HOPEFULLY I WILL HAVE THE SUSPENTION PREASSEMBLED SO I CAN FIGURE OUT THE RIDE HIGTH BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THE NICE THING IS THE REAR END WAS REALY CHEAP $200.00 CHEAP. I GOT EVERY THING I NEEDED FOR THE SWAP RIGHT THERE AT THE SALVAGE YARD. WELL ALMOST EVERY THING I HAVE HAD TO FABRICATE A FEW MISSELANOUS BRACKETS. ALL TOGETHER IVE GOT ABOUT 4 HUNDRED BUCKS AND THAT INCLUDES HAVING THE AXLE SHAFTS BALLANCED AFTER THEY WERE CUT TO FIT AND WELDED BACK TOGETHER. AFTER I GET THE REST OF THIS FIGURED OUT I GET TO TAKE IT ALL APART SO I CAN GET THE UNDER SIDE PAINTED AND RINO LINED WITCH WAS A FRIEND OF MINE'S IDEA AND A VERRY GOOD ONE AT THAT, THEY CAN EVEN MACTH THE COLOR. NOW THATS A GREAT IDEA AND I WISH IT WAS MINE. WELL I CAN'T GET ANY THING DONE WILE I'M ON HERE TYPING. I PROMISE TO POST SOME PICTURES SOON IV'E JUST TOO DARN BUSY TO GET THEN DEVELOPED AND DOWN LOADED. THANKS, JOE
pintoossssssss,
I look forward to seeing the progress of your project. It sounds like you have things well planned.
Plan the work and work the plan.

WELL BOYS AND GIRLS THE REAR END IS FINISHED, ALMOST A WEEK AHEAD OF SCHEDULE I EVEN GOT THE RIDE HIGTH SET NOW I GET TO TEAR IT APART AND SEND ALL THE PAINTED PARTS OFF TO BE POWDER COATED AND THE CAST PARTS TO THE CROME SHOP. NOW ALL I HAFTA DO IS GET THE DARN THING IN THE PAINT BOOTH AND GIVE HER SOME COLOR
My engine has had great reviews from the boys down at the dino. There telling me that so far they have got my little 2.3 with the hypernetic pistons running at 532 hp with 497 ft. lbs. of tourque at 4350 rpms and wow there still arent any holes in the pistons. Now I'm not trying to be ignorant or any thing but never say it can not be done it always dependes on how deep your pockets are and how bad do you want it. I have had at least two people tell me that the hyps... would burn up and thats true to a sertain point but only if you dont know how to set the fuel air mixture corretly now I belive I said that I would be using a hi-tech fuel management system. If you want a parts list on how I had I said had it done i will be getting it back with my bill from the engine builders. and before you ask about $10,000.00 I will know for shure the figures when i get them.
The engine is here from the builders man she sure is pretty. Now I still have a lot of work to do and it will hafta wait for my next vacation in another couple of months. I will still be able to get the rest of the body work done in my spare time. Unfortunately my progress will slow down a lot my co. is about to hit the busy season and I do mean busy the 16 hour days are just around the corner. I'm sorry that I haven't posted any Pict's yet. I got them developed the other day but there are a lot of photos and I need to go through them and pick the best ones and that will be hard to do. My lovely wife is a professional photographer and has taken all the photos of the work in progress so you can imagine the amount of Pict's I need to go through. Well lot's of luck with you're project and yes SHINY IS REALY GOOD!!!! Thank you for you're intrest in my project. Joe
can't wait to see pictures Joe! Thats makin some power....on the piston thing, you got it wrong. Of course they will work, but if it goes lean just ONCE....boom! With a forged piston you'll have more time or you'll waste a head gasket first. I'm speaking from experiance on this. Jeff
