Please start posting in the technical section mate. You have been a member long enough. General is not the place. Cheers Joz

my bitch up

Thanks Phil. Hope to hear from you soon broski. Joz

Welcome to UKSC Alan Enjoy your stay mate. Joz

Thanks for the kind and supportive comments lads. @LiamD, the twin pot conversion may cost a little more, but its certainly worth the effort. Not easy finding a 2nd hand set of calipers but if you do, consider them and slowly gather all the stuff needed. I can't fault the 3G Grooved Disc combo but why not try something different and infinitely better. Its mostly all in the calipers after all. @Bluebear - Thanks for visiting my thread man and Im glad you like the project, rome wasnt built in a day so make sure you hang in there and keep your project alive. I'll keep everyone updated on developments Joz

the red pill

and the matrix

You are thinking on the right track mate. Take your time with things, if you do decide to go ahead with your plans they would be very good to see. But by the time you get finished you could have easily got an FTE in her... Joz

The pedal feels a lot more refined Geo. Gradual braking and braking distances are far safer and shorter than before. I think its the Endless pads, they seem to be on another level. Time will tell as the bedding in process is still going on, so a little while until I can do some spirited braking. The way I have the calipers and discs fitted, there was no need for spacers or longer wheel studs thanks to the thicker disc. As for the caliper color, I matched the color best I could from a car colour book. Am seriously considering using that color for other dress up parts, what you reckon? Joz

Sounds fine to me mate, at the end of the day the spec you'll be using is your own and will be based on what you think is right. Do lots of research man. They used to make conglomerated 4EFE race engines for the old N/A EP80s so there is hope! Its fine to raise the rev limit but Im not sure how much on the 4E due to the rods and if you were to raise it you would need piggy back management at least. I wonder if 4EFTE rods can be used seeing as you are sticking to the 4EFE as they are 'almost' as thick as the 5EFHE rods, but Im not sure if there would be any complications... The valve springs would certainly stop valve float but they will cause more wear to your cams etc, its gonna happen with mine. I would suggest FHE Rods as they are the strongest E Series rod but they only fit a 5E bottom end. They would let you rev safely past 7500. I just don't see the 4EFE ones revving as high safely... Joz

Here goes... There are two types of cams you can get besides oem cams. Regrinds or regrounded cams which are whats commonly available, you send in your old cams and the company reprofiles them by machining the lobes to a different shape. i.e Kent Cams, Piper Cams. These are the most affordable way to acquire performance cams but a downside is that there are also limits to how far the stock cam can be reprofiled without upsetting geometry and will not be as durable. If done properly however they would be a good investment for a modified setup. The other type of cams which are billet cams, these are more expensive but are the real mc coy in terms of quality. The reason being billet cams are made from a solid piece of metal which means there are less limits to what profiles can be made and the cams themselves would last longer and be a lot more durable, you'd be surprised at how worn some cams can get. Dave Burwash & Toy Tuning make these to order, the other off the shelf billet cams out there i.e cruise etc are suited for turbo only. The 4E/5E/FHE heads are all the same, some may say that the jdm heads have better casting or flow but that is debatable. Its what you get done to the head that counts. Also just slapping in new cams wont really do as much if you dont have any other engine breathing and internal work to compliment them as well as some sort of fueling/idle management for maximum potential. You will most likely find that the car will be running poor otherwise. To get the full potential you would be better to do things fully, but that is your choice, its just my opinion and will take lots of time and lots of money. There are so many variables to consider, for example if you want to go for a 'mild regrind' cam which is gonna be a bit better than stock with a stock engine it may be worth it, but if you were going for the works on your engine etc I wouldnt bother. Do some research yourself about cam profiles etc you'd be surprised of all the information available. Im going to be using 5EFHE cams which are 'mild' until I can get a set of wilder cams made much later. Hope this helps from a different perspective. Im sure others will be able to add to this. Joz

Save up for Japan instead mate. Up for it? We are planning a club trip up their early next year. Joz

Im glad you like mate. Thats all I have for the moment Rich. The your room bar is quite stiff now thanks to the extra bolting point on each side, every little helps of course. All Im missing is the rear lower arm bar and a full roll cage ;). Joz

What actually happened

pert and erect

someone walked in

heighten the pleasure ;)

Another Update (must be christmas ;) ???) Levin Twin Pot Conversion Finally Completed Ultra Racing Room Bar Finally Installed (extra bolts added for strength) I've also had the rear tyres switched to the front for even tyre wear purposes, felt pretty good on the road. Initial thoughts on the twin pot brakes are positive and altho still in the bedding in process I can feel there is a lot of potential to be had from this brake setup. Joz

Ps3 games also mate One stall might have it at 550hkd, but the one further up could be 300hkd Yep was in 'sneaker street' in March. Nice street food stalls too ;) Joz

Payment sent mate ;) Please confirm. Joz

Im not gonna say anything about figures but Im sure excited about what results can be achieved with the ITBs and a totally sorted setup, its unchartered territory. The engine is gonna be fresh as a daisy also. Whats most important is that the itbs will be running right and then its all in the tune, so will be only going to a place that does both emanage and also have previous itb tuning experience. I got the field harness custom made for me by a mate overseas at a sweet price of course. As for the sorted head, its certainly going on with the rest of the stuff. I'll be running it as 5EFHE for a very short while, whilst I finalise and test fit the ITBs, then its off to the tuners. I finally ordered my engine bearings today, jeez they aint cheap even though I ordered from a UK company... Toga Engine Bearings Off to get the car at 3, can't wait! Twin Pot testing time!! Joz

I'd like to wait for them all to be sent out together if thats Ok Sam ;) Send me the invoice please, and I'll get them paid for. Cheers Joz

Razo Formula Spec are for winners mate. Mong Kok is also full of trainer shops and video games/computer shops/tower blocks. Joz
