  1. No tq adjustments in the map if anything I need more tq but the gearboxes tend too disagree with me need a gearbox every outing and I'm not in the mood too get classed as DNF. 4 boxes so far and all with the same symptoms 3rd gear gears clean off

  2. Tbh 6/5 was good for fast road use would suck up a lot of the holes/bumps &yumps but for a circuit or smooth road going round bends I had issues with the inner rear wheel cocking up at least 8inchs and the wheel diagonally too the inner dive in too much heat build up and loss of traction etc etc

  3. I have had 3 5efte engines, with 250-412 hp. And know a few who run them too. Never had a fault on bearing.

    You dont need upgrade pump, you need to run the right oil, and make sure clearence is right in bearings.

    Your on point but there's other things that can be done too

    Above is based on

    5efhe

    50wt oil

    Rev limited to 8300rpm

    Modifications too oil gallery's !!!

    None to pump or pressure relief valve

    Hot pressure are no lower than 4 bar even at idle

    Cold pressure at idle 7bar

  4. Hey everyone,

    I've noticed a massively common trend going on throuought the starlet community. The fatal bottom end rattle. I've seen numerous posts about big end shells failing, picking up and general buggery.

    My question is surely there should be a way to combat this? I know of a few people "upping the oil pressure" by placing a thicker or another washer in the oil pressure regulating valve. Does this actually work or is it just moving the problem elsewhere? Has any one ever thought of modifying the pulley on the pump? Even one less tooth will provide more flow at tick over and at high rpm? I know many people running 300+ bhp on standard toyota pumps but when oil coolers etc are added into the equation surely the standard pump is punching well above its weight?

    Thoughts anyone?

  5. """"" I'm sure he will get a shock at what's involved in putting them in ? """"" your words

    makes it sound like its a hard thing to do ??? dont think so / if you do you should not go anywhere near a engine
