  1. Lul ^ As Rick said - there is some potential to the 4E-FE, some guises sported 100bhp, if you wanted to go further you could use 5E-FHE camshafts, a thinner headgasket from TRD, breathing modifications etc, maybe a standalone ECU to eke out the most from a better tune...but, you'd bespending far more than it costs to install a 4E-FTE, almost a doubling in power figure to 133bhp, and an engine with FAR more potential with far less outlay
  2. Kiss and make up or I'll do it for the both of you Just to throw in my opinion though I have no job titles or qualifications to throw around to quantify my knowledge, but, and not cause I fancy Rick but to me it is apparent that the two events are different both in nature, and condition it occurs that it does not seem obvious to me to characterise both by the same name? Now, when you lift off the throttle, pre-charged air is trapped (and to some extent, compressed) between the expeller and the throttlebody, and as a result, backpressure, whatmay have you, is going to try and stop the turbo from spinning via frictional resistance of the air...as in, the turbo is stalling, hence, stall. Now, whilst I haven't done enough research into turbocharger Surge, the very name suggests that this phenomenon is the inability of a component of a certain system to process a surplus of a certain flow - hence, in the turbo example, I think its the inability of the engine to cope with the amount of air being forced by a turbocharger, which I know can be destructive. Anyway... Usually when a name is given to an event, it doesn't leave much to the imagination - a Surge is a surge, as in an overpowering or overflowing of a system, whereas a Stall, is a stall, its when movement suddenly or quickly ceases. Feel free to correct me, but I seem to think that these two terms describe concisely what happens in each situation, how can one name be given to both when it is not the same type of event? Is a stall a "negative" surge?! I would continue and wikipedia turbo surge to add to my personal explanation, but at this point it's just a fruitless contest of who's more right than who, I've just explained what makes the most obvious sense to me.
  3. If you paid by Paypal I'd open up a claim chap! Just something along the lines of "So, I've heard you shut down...where's ma money?"
  4. finally, "milking a dead cow" comes to mind with regards to all their "rebirths"
  5. agreed, very clear and concise analogy, even my barey caffeinated brain can make that out

    glanzaturbo, that's a beautiful cat! Want!
  7. I'm free ;)
  8. Hush you sexy Moderator prick
  9. I was going to back you up on GT5 but fluff that now
  10. I'll have to wait 56 days apparently, you suck Luke ;)
  11. Bruv!
  12. District 9 was....interesting. I just typically laughed at the violence and gore in the 2nd half of the movie Zombieland however, is, plain, awesome! Woody Harrelson is all types of wins in that movie!!
  13. Amens ^^^ There's a Tercel in America with a D15 I think? Or some Honduh engine anyway, but that thing was just for ghetto speeds Also - tc-ek4?
  14. The same as the FHE chap!
  15. 5E-FHE I think should be the same (I'll check part numbers) as it had a raised rev limit compared to the normal 5E-FE (7500rpm as opposed to 6200rpm), most people just bolt on
  16. You're not giving us much as what do you interpret as affordable? Quotes are going to differ for everyone as it depends on so many things - your best bet is to start searching on some of the comparison websites (Confused.com etc), then phoning the cheaper brokers to try and barter. Try calling Sky Insurance and Adrian Flux as they specialise in insurance for younger drivers/imports/modified cars and they are quite reasonably priced Regardless, you're 18, so its not going to be "cheap" but if you shop around you may be able to get some good pricing, good luck
  17. Valves are the same, camshafts on 5e are eeeeeever so slightly different, but, insignificantly so
  18. If you have an FHE head then yes, slight bump from the higher lift/longer duration camshafts
  19. Sold before I had chance to get violated by you in it, truly hurtful Also, nothing can beat my underbonnet, no-one's rocking garden hosing (ok, that's been removed now), an IACV valve held to the intake manifold with foglight wiring, and mud splatter from Le Mans 2007 *Sigh*
  20. Gaz, that Evo VIII at the top...wow...almost looks computerised
  21. I need your warehouse And that "Vintage" car looks like an Armstrong Siddley
  22. Excellent, would be good to know the perceived differences
  23. Is that the FHE head that was warped chap? All looks good!
  24. Harry (ecksjay) sent me a link to a "FMIC Piping mock up" kit a while ago, which would serve to get rid of the guesswork and reduce chancing with metal piping, google it, as my memory fails me of its source
  25. Says you with that avatar... Umm, hypnotised
