88 TII rebuild

[slammedR/T]

whats up got some questions I'm rebuilding a 88 daytona shelby Z with the 2.2 TII and a 5-speed and need some pistons.The block cleaned up at .040" and I can't get mahle .040" over pistons,I found a set of sealed power pistons p/n 533P1 but according to advance auto website they are for vin E motor and I have the vin A motor.Dose anybody know if these will work? I'm not gonna boost the snot out of it its gonna be my dailey driver but I was planning on just a cam and computer for like 14-15 lbs. of boost.

The p/n should be 533P ... 1.00mm over.
They're good pistons. I have then in my engine (VIN "A") @20-25 psi. of boost.
Some fellas on here have run them twice what your looking to do.

I've used those pistons in every motor I've built, had no problems with them.

agreed....used thier 9.0 /1 in a short fuse 8 psi turbo setup (experiment)
couldent keep a h/d gasket in the rig, but never melted a piston.......
damn sometimes I wish I had an unlimited budget....lol

Well went to order the pistons and the dumb a$$ behind the counter orders me three .So I go back to the place(afetr I realize what he did) and they tell me they can only get three .So dose anyone know where to get these pistons from summit says it wouldn't be till April 15 that they would even be shipped my way.
