Re: Race engine for my race svx.
I think it's funny as hell how people are like oh the svx sucks blah blah buy a diff car if you wanna fast car. K well, the fastest STI out there runs an 8.4... ya there are faster cars out there... some of them are even civics... but it's still mean as ****... getting the quickest quarter mile in the world isn't the point. The SVX is sexy as hell, and **** if we can get it down to a 10 second car... that'd be pimp as hell... but in the mean while we can make it faster and god it feels amazing, roars, and ya, it does have that comfort.... if you aint down with the SVX then why you on here??? I mean.. the SVX isn't slow by any means.. but sure it isn't the fastest car out there, so what??? The people dropping the mad cash are the pioneers that are figuring the **** out so that the rest of us in a few years will reap the benefits and WON'T HAVE TO spend a mil on mods to make her faster. I personally say thanks guys for doin the dirty so we can benefit.

Re: Race engine for my race svx.
These pistons DO, by the way,maintain zero interence operation WITH the ECUtune camshaft profiles AND are 11 to 1 compression ratio.

Re: Race engine for my race svx.
Pistons are not for sale on their own--just complete engines.

I can put an SVX around the track as quickly as most modern vette drivers. If yours is slow, maybe you need to look at the idiot behind the wheel

Re: Race engine for my race svx.
Longblocks. This is now one of the piston options. With the current options available there are 108 possible configurations to choose from. I'm not trying to advertise my longblocks here so I will just say there's a link in my signature if you want to read more about what I can offer.
This is Tony's thread. Tony started this thread to generously share pictures and a limited amount of information about the engine being built for a particular car that he is building for a particular race circuit. |

Re: Race engine for my race svx.
You're right, don't want to hijack his thread... But I just want to let you know that you can expect to be hearing from me sometime in the near future... I want to put together a good longblock to meet my "needs" and it looks like you have the ability to provide that. I just need to find some engine managment soulutions... ... Thanks Longass!! I'm gonna have to do something soon as my rear main leak is getting worse and worse

Re: Race engine for my race svx.
Chris I have done a deal with Mike to fork out for an engine dyno for a day so he can develop new maps for the existing ECU. I don't want to change it and feel confident this will get round the problem.

Re: Race engine for my race svx.
I got the pistons back from getting coated. Here are a couple pics of Tony's 11 to 1 pistons along with a couple pics of 9.3 to 1 pistons (going into another eg33 going to australia) to compare them too.

Re: Race engine for my race svx.
Tony,
Thanks for having Michael share your engine build with us. Michael, Nice looking pistons! Any thoughts on the combustion pattern with the 11:1 pistons, given that the "squish" area in the center of the piston head is now gone? Thanks. -Bill

Re: Race engine for my race svx.
Bill,
The squish area is the area outside of the combustion chamber. If you were to put a head gasket on a cyllinder head the area encircled by the head gasket and outside of the combustion chamber is the squish area--mainly at the top and bottom. The squish area is not gone or in any way reduced.
