I haven’t got the readings but I set everything to 0. I didn’t undo the hub bolts but was going to do that if necessary!

So, I’ve fell behind with this again so it’s time to update it. Ive sold my billet hybrid td04 kit to way for bigger things over winter. 

I thought over winter I would like to change my turbo setup and change some cosmetic things.

i thought long and hard about the new turbo choice and soon came to the conclusion that it would be a Garrett despite some really good turbo kits coming up for sale and in production. 

This WEPR kit came up for sale and decided I had too have it.

So I made a decision on a turbo and went for the Garrett GTX2860rs gen2 turbo so I got it ordered from BTN Performance and couple days later it had arrived

I wanted to run external gate again and as id sold my complete turbo setup I no longer had an external gate so I set at buying a new external gate and getting the internal gate welded up on the new turbo, I also wanted the matching BOV so I bought that aswell, both genuine TiAL.

The plan was to make the engine bay as clean as I could with the facilities I had so I bought another cylinder head from Tyler devonport and soon realised I’d bagged myself a bargain as it was mint!

Photo was just after I had stripped it, so i could set at replacing the stem seals, re lapped the valves and painted it.

I also bought i new Thermostat housing to save all the hassle of swapping it all over once my car was stripped. While i was there I replaced the thermostat with a TD low temp stat.

No photos of the stat fitted unfortunately.

I soon realised that with the new BOV I would need to get my WEPR intercooler pipeing modified to accomodate the new BOV. So thanks to my good from Luke Gittins for sorting this for me!!

i decided I wanted to clean up the inlet aswell but instead of cleaning mine I bought another from Luke Gittins and painted it up!

2nd photo I had fitted the throttle body along with genuine Toyota seals. 

So my current rocker cover was looking abit tatty so I decided to sell it along with my zisco oil catch tank and bought another from luke Gittins along with a RW Developments catch tank. Although when the rocker cover arrived I had already made plans to paint it but unfortunately I don’t have any before photos. So this the finished product.09A4E65D-0425-4CDD-B382-6F20DC09912F.thumb.jpeg.c3e3c09673ede72bf42c64c669d68f71.jpeg

Painted wrinkle red! 

I decided to test fit all the bits and see how they looked, I can honestly say I’m excited.

New Genuine Toyota gaskets where applicable.

New inlet and exhaust manifold studs and nuts 

New Thermostat housing bolts and nuts 

New distributor bolts 

New genuine Toyota distributor cap and rotor arm

New Rocker cover seals and nuts

New magnecore 8.5mm HT leads 

New spark plugs

There is so much happening I’m losing track what order it all goes in so I’m just going to throw it all in here. So now there is no particular order. 

Managed to also get my oil cooler setup fitted along with my mocal thermostatic sandwich plate.

So too some things up, she was sitting happy looking like this..

So too cut a long story short, she was suppose to go and have a new exhaust made up at speedfab on the 7th Jan but it was soon brought to my attention that there was an issue after starting her up. 

She had a major misfire, 2 cylinders were down on compression. So I set at investigating and soon found the valve clearances on cylinder 1+4 were too tight so I spent the good part of a day setting all the clearances. Unfortunately I didn’t have enough shims to make a good cylinder head out of the two heads I had so I’ve had too order 3 shims from work and 1 of them soon went too back order. So now it’s a waiting game.. 

she now sits like this..

Turbo kit looks sexual. Only a small set back pain in the bum though. Keep plugging away at it.

Thanks for the kind words guys, yes it was a small setback and nothing that can’t be sorted! :thumbsup:

It’s surprisingly easy, I have a conversion chart at work to work out what shim you need.

You just use a feeler gauge with the cam lobe facing upwards and measure your gap between the camshaft follower and lower part of the cam lobe, then you measure the shim that’s already in place, Then use the conversion chart to work out what shim you need. Ill get pics tomorrow and drop them in here for you! With the conversion chart your life will be a lot more simple :thumbsup:

What brand catch tank is that? Looking for similar one myself, that mounts nicely to the strut

It’s an RW Developments catch tank! Mounts up perfectly on the strut, the only thing with mine is it touches my BOV so I’ve had to bend it up slightly although hardly noticeable!
