If I went forged then I would still want to use standards. I would rather just fit bearings and just hope regualar services keep them going without needed to strip down the bottom end after 25k. Anyone know a cheap n/a for sale? At least that way my engine stand wont stand emtey for another 12 months. This is my first car so standard boost will be good for me to get to grips. The kia me and the missus own is slow and I hardly get to drive it.

Hmm that is a idea! Wonder if anyone has a 4efe for a 100 local! Would take a bareone for that price and put all my bits on

I will be in much better sitation in 6-8 months time. Could be moving in with the missus parents house that means my 10 minute bus ride to work will have to be a 35 min drive instead because the bus there could take a hour and sod that! So if thats the case the starlet needs to be done for February the latest.

Already got most the lines already. I get peoples suggestions and appicatethem but I still not conviced to take the head off yet :/

I really dont have the money too Its gonna take a few weeks just to save for the bearings. My plan was to get on the road for feb so can duel policy it with the kia plus means I dont have to share a car. Car running means I can finally look for a new job to afford a forged engine rather than skimp saving for parts haha

Yeah engine comming out for sure. Gonna the bay a tidy and clean and try ditch things I dont need like the rest of the AC and the carbon canister. Also gonna mount a decent catch can for a race spec rocker. So the engine can breath. Tbh it was bound to die since it had a cheap FPR lots of boost and a crap breather on rocker. Dont know when it was last serviced either. So once engine out the plan is Replace all rubber pipes with either braided or silicone line eg fuel lines/brakes/ clutch. Service gearbox Service engine. Sort out any wiring out. Then hopefully a nice rebuilt bottom

Swear I seen a link for fairly priced set before I did search but cant find it

Not sure how much damage or runnning tbh not alot I bought it broken off a mate. The car cost me 400 ok shes rough but I wanna fix her and get her running perfect. If a piston fails then I will get another block and forge this one but atm I am in no postion to but if I get 6 months with this fix I will be a happy boy! So anyone know where I can get OEM bearings The car is off the road and has been since it spun a bearing This is the only time I have started http://youtu.be/411voV62oos

well its time to stop messing and get the bottom end sorted. Its a 1994 GT turbo 4efte Lots of people have said I can do it with the head on even though lots say I cant. I been told a N/A crank would be best and set of OEM bearings. But also been told I could take to a engine builder and they can regrind and make up a set of bearings is that right? Whats my best option? I am gonna fit new seals and gaskets everywhere but removing the head bumps up the price so thats one thing I wont do. If people think oem bearings could someone link me a set please not going to get

So this ready to go or still need regriding?

Like this? Not sure that will be bright enough. I wanna keep it green I like the the idea keeping stuff oem colour but with a fresh new kinda look

Anyone made thete ignition barrel brighter? Any keen diy modders here? Mine that rubbish it doesnt show on camara. I know its a single LED but was curious to know if anyone made it any better. Its a nice peice of the car so would be nice to make it stand out

Curious how your new center console looks from further away? Whats near handbreak now?

a few optional extras in there I see! Non smoking ash tray and arm rest. Good price as well Good luck with the sale mate

Wow!! Gonna do that with my headlights that looks amazing! Hard to split open?

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=140571625886&alt=web This? Seems good price But is it a item you want cheap?

Well heres on the flip side I lived away from home for 8 years and lived 5 years with the missus and we selling up shit to go live with her folks due to rising costs of rent and living Its gonna suck but I tell you what its gonna be nice not to see my bank on zero all the time. A good 12-18 months will pay off depts and hopefully get us in a better postion next time round. Ment to be saving for a weddding :/

Need some advice This sits here but I cant get it flush without mayor work and breaking the 12v bit. Anyone help? Suggest anything?

If not let me know wont take me long to post them out to you

Its alright mate prob gonna remove the wiring anyway also got the factory cd changer wire I need to remove also

Thanks for all the ideas guys. battery prob will go boot but nothing else. Gonna ditch the fpr compleatly its what killed the car when the last owner had it. The injector loom idea sounds great! Power steering going to stay its my first car so be much nicer for me

As IF!!!! I am sure they are plenty of irish memembers who can aquire these to strip ;)

Mine runs from the stereo along the passenger kick panel and trim then goes under the rear card. Then out from the suspension strut. If you dont have it I can remove mine for you and sell it ya cheap just doesnt have the plug for the speaker but you can prob make something up dead easy. Its got the plug for the stereo. I dont use mine anymore due to the amp under the seat now powers my parcel shelf speakers

Drop off the cold side of the intercooler pipework. If lots of oil in there like I suspect then oil seals on your turbo gone mate. The noise your getting is prob the oil not lubing the turbo. Would get it replaced or seals changed asap. Will be cheaper than risking it and making it worse. If your seals have gone while its being repaired remove intercooler and pipework and clean with petrol/white sprite mix before fitting a fresh turbo

Yeah was thinking move battery to the boot no idea how but would be nice Carbon canister is to go. Was also thinking getting a braided line from fuel rail to fuel filter made up to make the bay look nicer. I seen lots of people can remove loads of loom for the AC in that area also there anh guides to what I can safely remove without messing things up to much
