Bad news spOck, I hope you will get it sorted soon

If I'd like to be street legal for Austria..... I would have to rebuild it back to a 155HP IS200 N/A with stock filter.

Same thing for me in France :(

The engine's now been taken out of the engine bay and disassembled. Here are a few pictures (sorry for the quality, mobilephone cam...):

Engine with valve cover removed:

Some of the removed stuff in a box (intake manifold, throttle body, fuel rail...):

BACK IN BUSINESS! :) Well, sort of...

Today I FINALLY got my new pistons! I ordered them late November, and it was supposed to take 4-5 weeks, instead the delivery turned out to be 4,5 months! :tsktsk:

They were made to order by Ross Racing Pistons USA. Quality seems superb and they came with unique 4 page measurements report. All pistons weigh within 0,8 grams from each other, so the tolerance is about 0,3%.

Conrods (of which I've posted earlier) were also made to order locally here in Finland, and they weigh within 0,4 grams from each other, making the tolerance only mere 0,007%!!! Quite impressive.

Combining lighter rod with a heavier piston and pin in different combinations, I was able to make every rod+pin+piston combination within 0,3 grams from each other. Quite good given that original rods alone can weigh as much as 10g's from each other.

Before I hear someone yell "TTIWWP", here are some pics of my beauties:

The box:

The contents with rings and pin locks:

The inside:

The whole sixtet:

Check out that beauty: B)

Kinda hard to tell the original from the new ones...

Very shiny :D The size of the new ones compared to the OEM is huge :o

so when is the install mate

so when is the install mate

As soon as I get the new block (thanks Matt and Dave) dismantled. Then I'll take the block to the workshop to be overbored (new pistons are 0,5mm over-sized) and honed. After the pistons fit the block I'll put it back together and under the bonnet it goes... :)

Looking very nice mate....... :D How much did the "pistons" cost you as i will be doing this, before the end of the year :winky:

[PhoneDrome]

What is the difference in weight between oem and new rods? And compared together with the pistons?

Haven't weighed the pistons against the OEM, but rods are ~100g heavier than the OEM. Someone might say that's heavy, but I don't mind cause I know that these rods will take over 200hp/rod (that's 1200hp in total), whereas the OEM wouldn't even take 50hp... B)

You've a PM.

[gsportcars]

Cracking stuff Spock. I have just turned green all over.

I would also be interested in the cost of these pistons and rods as I am looking at a rebuild soon my self.

Hope you get it back up and running asap so we can see the potential of the rebuild!!!

Rods ~1200€ (handmade in Finland with a 0.007% tolerance)

Pistons ~1200€ (incl. rings and pins)
