I got quite a few pics and vids, im off to the pub now but i will post them up either when i get back or tomorrow!

was a really good day!!

Quite interesting as this is my old mani and downpipe that i sold him just recently................and it is an external kit they just crack badly. no leaks when i sold it tho.

I will take that short ct9 pipe if its still for sale

You have pm!

what size is the intercooler pipe mate??

As above im after a good crank to grind to .25

I did have one with cp but he is closed now till further notice!

Needed asap.

As above im a 4e crank due to mine being slightly goosed and unable to grind.

i have .25 acls so i need it to grind to this.

Regards
Mike

As above if anybody has either a 22mm or even better a 24mm give me a shout straight away!

Many Thanks

I've got a greddy cable for the emanage but obviously my laptop hasn't got serial out on it.

I've bought a usb to serial adapator but i still cannot get it to work.

what serial to usb are people using with the emanage?

as above if anyone has one give me a shout via pm!

kind regards

Mike

i have prosport gauges, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, cannot fault them. peak hold and warning also.

Bluebear: I know how you feel dude, can be hard work sometimes especially if the money isn't there but its a project and thats what its all about! what have you got left to do to get it running?

Sacha: thanks dude, its getting there slowly, just need to sort my turbo out and get it mapped, hoping for 240-250 at the fly.

Sam has welded my manifold now and there is zero leaks!! car sounds so much nicer instead of sounding like a tractor!

i also thought a compression check would be a good idea as id done around 750 miles on the new engine, so as of now the little 4E is giving me 185 psi across all 4 pots! really chuffed with it and i wouldn't be where i am now without my good freind sam.

still running 0.75 bar boost on Td04 with 3 bar fuel pressure at idle and to be fair unmapped it goes really well!

roll on hybrid and mapping!!

Good to see you're still alive! Will have to meet up with you and Sam once my GT is on the road

yeh still alive dude! how you doing? how you getting on with your GT?

been ages since i updated this thread, been so busy with work, its just been stupid!!

finally after getting the engine out it was gather all parts and go ahead with the build.

Genuine Toyota oil pump

Genuine Toyota water pump

Genuine Toyota pistons + rings

Genuine Toyota full gasket set

ACL .25 mains, big ends, thrusts

Balanced Reground crank

lightened and balanced flywheel.

picked up some new engine mounts as well as my old ones where shot to bits and i had gearchanging trouble.

FINALLY got it running... was bit nervous but started first time and drove straight out of the garage without any problems! :-) :-)

ever since i had the car it always smoked and used oil, when i limped home i was expecting the worst with regards to ringlands gone and it was knocking quite badly and smoking its ass off.

got the head off my old 4E and i was surprised to find this was the only problem......

after 150,000km of hard abuse i think it did well.

as of today i have a small oil leak with is coming from the crank pully so we are going to wip the pully off and see what the crack is!

thanks for looking! :-)

Don't you get valve stem seals in the overhaul kit?

yeh you get the valve steals in the full engine gasket set.

looks a really smart GT dude, fair play!!!

what happened to the white one in the end?

dear me dude!!! your lucky!!

good to hear your alive and ok!

gutted fella!! been following my old GT for ages!! off it goes on its travels again!!

Where did you get your reverse scoop from? After one atm, as my standard one is useless as I have a shiny FMIC

i got it from Ep styling on tgtt, nice bit of kit!

just a call from the guy doing my crank said that my flywheel face had abit of a lip on it so said he advised me to skim it and also said he would be able to lighten it a little bit too!

well chuffed!

its been a while since i updated this and quite abit has happened!

Recently I've been doing a few bits and bobs on the car i,e reverse scoop and conards, also awaiting for the inevetible 4efte bang................. and.......it HAPPENED!!! HA!

went out to a friends house about 6 miles from my house, car was smoking a tiny bit more then usual, was running 0.85 bar because my manifold was leaking like a sivv!

anyway on my way back home giving it some beans, come to a roundabout and floored it again..... and blue smoke flew out the back. thought id give it a rest and then it started missing, and sounded like a scooby badly and knocking slightly as well!

by this point i wasn't bothered and i just made it home, and the car conked out outside my house.

i swiftly went to the pub to drown my sorrows and watched the utd game after!

anyway after a massive garage clearout i got the car in and started stripping.

id already rebuilt my head and did a very light port on the exhaust ports.

so finally got to work with stripping the engine down and also trying to get an engine crane from a freind, things where starting to come together.

and after abit of wigglin and surprisingly enough 1 swear word she was out!

picked up all my toyota goodies today which is full engine gasket set, oil pump, and rings.

will be getting on with the build next week hopefully just waiting for my crank to come back from being balanced!

il get some more pics of the build next week!

thanks for looking!

This guy is not playing with a full deck!!!!

i can't argue with you trying your best fella, but if a socket, or spline tool slips, i wouldn't keep on trying to use it.

a good pair of mole grips if you do get stuck are very handy!

we all have to start somewhere fella!

that was after a shit load ov jagerbombs lol

did it hurt??
