cool ill try it tomorrow, got a few other jobs to do on it then its start up time

no the hose it too narrow and wont fit onto the rad lol probably shouldve mentioned that

bought a half rad from someone on here, was used in his glanza, went to fit it today to find my stock hoses are literally only 1-2mm too narrow, and its near enough impossible to stretch them on, i tried for ages lol, what do i do?

check your inbox mate

buuuump

Ryan was that with the 1.9 gasket or 1.4? and why on earth you on here at 5.40am?! haha

im off to sleep too, could you let me know tomorrow if you find out which gasket is best for me please, wanna aim to be running as near to how it was before

the ringlands went, the engine had done 105k miles and had never been rebuilt, except having headgasket replacement but all else was standard, i was running .8 bar on it was ages, decided to turn it up to a bar and ran it for a few days and thats when it happened when i was flat out down the motorway at just over 140mph for about a minute lol

read the text i sent you last, it has all the details of the pistons for the valve pockets etc

i know, im not just bolting it all together and hoping for the best its all being done how it should cause my dad used to build engines, but hes not as clued up related to the math that youre going through to calculate the head gasket thickness etc, If i had the money to do it all in one I wouldve but sadly i work part time while at college so every month i get some money together for each set of parts i need

thats why i said at a guess when you reckon youll know by for the thickness? just so i can let Idrees know about what gasket to send me cause ive sent my 1.2mm back to him today in exhange for a thicker one

and how much would thatve set me back lol

I wasnt really aware back then that Id be going through all of this, same goes with the rods really surely the gasket bore would be just over 75 by a guess? seeing as they fit the over sized pistons

well the gasket will be an Athena, 1.4 or 1.9 havnt decided yet obviously down to working out what thickness I need

didnt have the money for them at the time mate as i was planning on using the stock rods, but hey, ill check that out tomorrow cheers

i wont be exceeding 1.3 bar ever probably, its my daily I only planned on running it at 0.8 bar due to the stock ecu, a standalone + mapping is way out of my reach from a financial point of view at the moment, if i was to run a 1.9 gasket, roughly what would that bring the comp down to do you reckon?

thanks tim, did you calculate the gasket size in the end? didnt get a text back from you thats all

sorry, det cans?

even if the timing is slightly more retarded and using higher octane fuel?

i just want to know which head gasket to use so lower my compression a bit so i can get my car set up on the stock ecu at .8 bar!

Tim @ TB, hes telling me these pistons are better for starlet engines, hes working out for me now what size head gasket im going to need by doing a bit of math

cant send them back, theyve been fitted to rods and the rings are all gapped and on the pistons now, plus a couple small marks on them too so definitely couldnt do that, ah i thought everything was falling into place, seems im spending more and more money and not really getting anywhere, just want my car back on the road and boosting, i dont even care if its no more power than the stock turbo either

money money money! something im not in a great position with right now :/ 750, plus fitting and mapping expenses is gunna total to a larggeee amount

yeah :/ where would i be able to find one of these ecus + full loom etc?

when you say dirt cheap, HOW cheap? plus mapping costs, gunna cost me more than the engine build once im done with that, surely itd still move better than a ct9 on boost?
