sorry shouldnt have quoted you, was just typing in frustration lol i accept that for a daily that some knob is going to blat right up to his door/work and fire off then yes he will eventually do damage. likely no-matter what setup he uses. but for a track car (like mentioned earlier) or a enthusiasts car that they allow to cool down after any heavy use, the issue wont occur. Almost more importantly for the track user or prolonged use person, the water lines will heat the coolant during operation putting stress on what is (in the starlet world) an already limited system.

100% grand, if you were worried you could maybe go baffled if your going to find long corners you enjoy taking at full chat lol Phil

but the water/coolant doesn't cool the turbo during use. Phil

the cooling circuit doesnt cool the turbo much during running. agreed. infact the turbo heats the coolant during running, on a 4e when many run a half size radiator this isnt ideal. a cool down period easily sorts temperature difference between oil and turbo, during which oil has movement on its side to work against ponding/burning. a cool down period is completely feasible on a track car which was what i was talking about. however on my road car ive no problems fitting that cooling period in also. Phil

yup, dont lighten. your pick up is less with the knife edge. and whip is impossible with a stock crank as its not the full assembly(clutch flywheel) balance that stops whip its the single element, ie the crank needs balanced bang on (like stock) if you know what you want and can explain it to you engineer and there is some benefit that you need it done for, then fire away. but i would be MASSIVELY surprised if even the 9sec malta drag 4e runs anything lightened in the flywheel/crank department. Phil

same here, if it the silver gt in the picture, why on earth would you let it go bit of paint at some stage and no more gazebos and boom sorted Phil

Too true Noel, commonly striped and even incases forced back on the wrong thread, its awkward granted but dont going wrecking things but it may not even be your fault, the previous owner could have screwed it up when fitted a lower arm bar or changing out a wishbone. Phil

if track use only then an oil cooler in the system and a solely oil cooled turbo would be ideal. tried and tested on cossies/lets etc let your coolant/radiator deal with engine only. i see the point, but its more about asking less of the system in return for easier maintained temps with sustained use. Phil

sounds like you've got your head screwed on the right way, good luck with the project and hope you enjoy whatever route you take. i warn you though, with performance comes fun lol Phil

and i can get you an oil return for not alot. Phil

370cc injectors here if your interested pm me. Phil

very affordable way to fuel your td04/k24 etc worth the money or v.close to it with the GCC. Phil

i had the impression over home that you where planning to sprint the Evo? or some such like activity. maybe im dreaming, and when i say home i mean tgtt. lol Phil

get dean at RW developments to sort the rather trivial part of the exhaust and buy this mint Blitz Nur Spec R backbox to polish it off. http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?105988-FORSALE-_-330cc-NOS-Td04-exhausts&highlight= Sorted, my apologies that i happen to be the seller LOL Phil

tis about right for Ireland, not sure about your locality. Phil

Sad the see the machine broken Iain, but needs must. 888s look in decent nick they done many miles? Phil

if you want a cheap solid manifold they do exist they arent toyosports and they can be ex/wgate. Eric/billybob in Ireland makes them and they are apparently very good. if i didnt have a beautiful e/wgate setup already then its definitely where my money would go. Phil

who is sorting that for ya? Phil

True words danny boy, but the VF8 is the father in the family Ive two vf8s and a vf10 here, all old, but not abused on the legacys. Phil

no arrival yet, but patience will be extended to our friends in royal mail as usual lol the turbo is an old favourite, standard td04 fitment but it is a VF series IHI turbo. Phil

VF8 turbo here. 1bar standard internal = the job. and some 370cc straight fit injectors also braced that right up and you would be sorted Phil

must just have been the two videos ive seem from you happened to be there! sounds good though, and as others say, mentioning honda when talking about what an exhaust sounds like is simply stupid. Phil

you love that industrial estate lol Phil

i quite like them, they arent as loud as you would think, Ae86clyde had one on his Hyperrevs Gt 5? years ago launch control the heap, was amazballs. Phil
