Respray and wheels looking tasty mate Any closer to the TD04? Joz

Sorry to see the blowout damage but am amazed you have restored it. You must have deep love for your EP as that takes dedication Livesports front is gonna be immense in met black (if thats the colour you'll be using) I'm sure there is more but I just know you are gonna surprise us all. Keep up the nice work and looking forward to the next big update. Joz

Excellent results mate You should be very happy. TD do a fantastic job. It is possible to reach 260 or thereabouts on standard engine with a touch more boost, but its not all about figures. Its how it drives and I'm sure it feels great. 230-240bhp atf is an expected figure for a good tune at 1-1.1bar which many have achieved. My engine is standard and runs 1.2bar on the TD04 on hi boost. Am also using Blitz Dual SBC which I also use for other boost settings (0.8 and 1bar) Here are my dyno printouts for your curiosity. My lo boost 0.7 bar is quite high but accurate as it had repeat dyno runs to make sure it wasn't playing up On hi boost it hits 257.3 at peak rpm but has a slightly lower peak torque figure than yours. Yours also comes in earlier so has nicer mid-range torque in theory. I am running a straight through exhaust so this would have pushed the torque/power band further up. Shows you can't have everything and every engine reacts differently due to the setup/mods, health, boost pressure and tune. Recently rebuilt engines may also produce a touch more, as mine and others showed. I'm sure that with different mods I can improve the torque. Don't forget the most important thing is estimated flywheel horsepower as this is your true output on the road after transmission losses which I'm sure you are well aware of. You would also benefit from running an external wastegate setup to hold steadier boost. Joz

Great photos Alan Joel's car has been tidied nicely too since the last I seen it. Keep up the stellar work and keep those Toyotas rolling gents. Joz

Thats great news John Biting the bullet to push things further! Love it! Joz

No worries mate It means once you have it installed, you won't need to bolt a sensor onto your exhaust to get the readings. Will be far more accurate for tuning and future readings. Joz

You have pm mate.

Excellent update mate You are in great hands with CCM, top quality road mapping. If you haven't already I'd highly recommend a wideband sensor and gauge to make tuning on the fly that much more accurate/easier. All the best with it and please update us once its all properly up and running. Joz

Sounds good man Please keep us updated. Joz

Hou if you are reading this, please get some new stock in for goodness sake Am screaming for a clay and lube kit. Joz

Thanks for sharing mate Looks like you had an awesome time. Some evil looking machinery in there! Joz

Welcome back to the EP world Rich Joz

Keep up the good work mate Coming on very nicely! Joz

Welcome to uksc mate About time! Joz

My pleasure John mate Would hate to see a decent EP go to waste due to some small seals. Again all the best with the rebuild and beyond! Most importantly bring back the EP love Joz

That seems to be the going rate at the moment Don't forget about honing and other machine work. Joz

God save the Queen Joz

Last time I saw, Gary@GBRMotorsport had one for sale mate. Worth checking out. Joz

John does the blue smoke appear immediately on startup and during normal driving and boost? Did TD have anything to say about it? If it was me and funds/time allowed I'd rebuild the whole engine so it could live on. My engine was fully rebuilt when the car was converted but there are small signs of the valve stem seals going also, but I do not get blue smoke, only slight combustion smell after screamer pipe. I am going to take it up with my engine builder in a decent manner once I get the opportunity. The only time I got blue smoke was when I plumbed in the rocker breather pipe (for vacuum) to the ebc hosing near the inlet mani = guaranteed blue smoke on every boost. That was run like that for one short drive and quickly changed back. Am still happily driving away at 1.2bar mind you. Ultimately I'd go forged 5E for the time and money you'd spend rebuilding the 4E engine or forging. Depends how long you fancy holding onto the EP. Ultimately after that I'd be wanting a 2.0+ jap turbo saloon. If you need uprated valve stem seals I'd let my Zisco ones go seeing as you are more in need. Joz

My light has never come on either when its dangerously near empty. Joz

My blitz DD also dumps and doesn't flutter unlike the ct9 setup, so I'd be interested in this also Joz

Lets get her functioning again Joz

Glad to hear she's still alive Dan Looking forward to your update. Joz

I was searching on google and only just noticed this - http://extreem-ep.net/?p=781 A big thanks for the mini feature Geo, was a very very nice surprise. Glad to still be here and will do my best to keep on rolling Joz
