  1. It was 197 on ct9 and yeah tuner had a few more bhp left to squeeze out but he left it at that as it was a safe figure and not straining anything can't remember exact set up think it was

    Rrfpr

    Hks fcd

    Apexi safc

    Apexi avcr

    Decat

    Japspeed exhaust

    zisco manifold externally gated

    Hks mushroom filter

    Think that was it

  2. Completely depends on the tuner/tune it gives you a lot more settings to play with. You can only trim fuel down on it if I remember rightly.

    So you have you rr fpr set a little higher than usual. ( the tuner would set it so it runs slightly rich through out rev range ) then they trim the fuel back down to the right mixture through out the rev range to get it spot on and squeeze every last bit of power/efficiency

  3.  

    In all honesty I think that was all down to poor parts and budget builds and driven very hard on daily basis.

    Cus that happened all before the setup down engine tuner.

    Unfortunatly it went pop for 3rd time just after i brought it.

    But touch wood holding up sinse I've had it done :-D

     

    Ull have to let us know what ak are like. 

    Cus im looking for a session in next month or so...

    Would love to go td or race tech but its the effort and cost  going up there.

    All the parts were from Toyota also ... :s pistons rings gasket sets bearings etc :s

  4. Yeh was never machined on the rebuilds kept blowing same piston.

     When stripped it bore was quite worn.

    So had new pistons and all the block machined to match and head skimmed and cleaned.

    And i aint had prob sinse...

    So i wouldnt put it down to the map..

     

    Might give ak a ring soon and get a price

    Was machined on each build I had done. Bottom end skimmed as well as head each time and bores done.

  5. Well I did a search and didn't find any threads already open.

    I'm going to be building my own garage over the next couple months and I know what I've got planned out its 5m wide by 7m long. Should be just enough room for my astra vxr to park in and the glanza in there to work on also.

    I've bought a shell and engine and plan on building a forged glanza over the next 12/16months

    So yeah basically just wondering

    If you guys have any pics of your garage set ups at home or what ever

  6. Right then everyone I have rebuilt an engine before myself with a bit of help from a mate well actually rebuilt it twice but anyway.

    I used to have a glanza and regret selling it. Anyway been and got hold of a rolling shell and an engine and I'm gonna take my time over it and build a forged engine and few other goodies etc I'll start a progress thread once some proper movement on the project takes place.

    In the mean time has anyone got any tips or advice for the build that you'd like to share with me ?

  7. I'm located in North Devon so obviously cars in like Newcastle etc will be too far but all things considered.

    Looking for a glanza rolling shell any colour but red. So yeah what you got
