Someone can correct me if im wrong. The rods from earlier gen '82's are thicker than the rods from later gen '82's and also thicker than the glanza rods. Looked into this as I was the same when putting a TD04 on mine. Regarding standard internals, you should be fine if only going to 1 bar of boost on the "thinner" rods and up to 1.1-1.2bar on the thicker rods. Im currently running TD04 on a bar on a quad light (assuming the engine/internals weren't changed in japan before I got it) on standard internals and have been for about 2 1/2 years (as my daily). All comes down to the mapping. I will
Sounds like fuel cut, had the same problem on mine when I first got it and it was standard (besides hks air filter). Would only happen on really cold mornings (3-4:00am) and it turned out to be the actuator was knackered. Spring wasnt holding pressure. Got a hks actuator and all was fine
Dont think thats standard mate lol unless its an optional extra! If I push the lock down with the door open and shut it, it opens the lock so cant lock the car accidently
Td04's are rotated mate to make them fit. You have to rotate the housings so the oil return points downwards. The actuator wont fit properly into the standard holes on the housing because they're rotated. You should be able to get one bolt to fit it onto the turbo, some people get brackets made up.
