Feel the PPPPP-PHOWWWWAARRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many things are better in the dark! , the night is full of cold dense air waiting to be eaten Looks good dude, I see you kept the bottom of the airbox to aid in cold air feed No worries on the filter I have plans of my own ;) , get the new one off toby, £80 instead of £110, fitting kit included, soon your'll havt two Apexi's I'll leave with this single word to muse upon, T-Junction ,........

AHHHHHHHH THE STUPID IT BURNS! THAT IS NOT HOW GRAVITY WORKS! All that does is spread your weight, reducing the pressure (weight/area) so a weaker surface can support you, or,....... HOW CAN YOU GET IT RIGHT YET STILL BE SO MORONICLY WRONG AT THE SAY TIME! Really I'm surprised some people can breath unaided at times and sticking badges on the inside really whats the point?

Looks like a 5E one, think I may on seen it on engines in paseo/sera fourms

Looking good! you'll be dead chuffed!

Dunno where that R came from, but Sportif were sold by toyota here, and japan of course so it could be an import! however as the Sportif was sold natively, I'd tell them to use that info, or tell him to get shoved Welcome to the club too!

Compression ratio, is to do with getting the fuel/air mixture to it's most efficient ignition point, to get the most from it (power/fuel economy) However you want to avoid compressing it too much or it will ignite itself prematurely, screwing up your timing That correct? Timing can be adjusted, cams and sparks, but must be balanced to piston rotation(stuck with that) and compression ratios (+skimming/-more gaskests) Forced induction system would increase the compresion ratio by nature of shoving more air in, already under pressure into the chamber to be compressed yet further, increasing r

Is this the mani in question? Probably reasking Joz's question, but if I get you, using said exhaust mani with a more free flowing would increase performance? (a free flowing exhaust would help anyway I suppose!) Could you explain that to me, not sure what they all mean, thanks If your K&N panel is going free maybe I'll have it off you when I have the cash Joz!

I got extra hose! might get some thiner stuff for those smaller connectors though, thanks for the help. Moving out, and into a new place with the girlfriend though so moneys gonna be tight for a while, but gonna get this done asap!

Lowering the compression ratio allows you to turn up the pressure, wouldn't the increase in pressure still be unhealthy for the 4E rods? (their quite thin I think) heavy-duty pistons are the only answear to greater pressure/boost, but am I right in thinking your saying by lowering the compression you can run a weak turbo? By 5E bottom end I mean block and the crankshaft (piston too in a way but as the are the same width as the 4E the 4E set could be reused)

Random google imaging seraching has blessed me with this I think it might be an ep82

Got a story about pirates too, but the guy at the garage was a nice bloke, and does my MOT to so I kept that bit quiet! He reckoned for parts(hose and exhaust clamp) and labour, about £90-100 to fit the mani and the backbox I've got. Bit of wandering around and I found this pic in a post on the toyota owners club fourm, posted by our own scutch0 It looks like the connector in question matches up to the one between the 3rd and 4th runners on the stock, does it, and what does it do?

I have wandered across vast wilderness, found remote hidden foreign civilizations, and gone treasure hunting over desolate wastelands with the natives! Ok, ok, ok,â?¦â?¦â?¦I misread the AA roadmap directions, went the wrong way around Manchester, had to search several side streets to find the place, that was run by Asians (pretty much the only English I heard there was mine own!) and had to go right to back of the scrapyard pass a dead turbo ep82 and a few silvers NA ep91â??s to hunt down the exact mani I wanted. But I have it! Huzzarh! Heres another funky view down t

Is that the kit off e-bay?

Yeah sounds like a lot of work, my pip-dream is to use a 5E bottom end, same width pistons, but a larger stroke, takes the engine to 1.5L

Nice, well done

Re: klyfax's post LOL Happy B'day anyway!

I'd want them, was going to get the Carat ones at some point, but would need to mod the bumper to fit them, if you can have a look when you get Geo, that'd be great

Does seem a cheap way to increase displacement, the stroke(up/down travel of the piston) would still be the same, would that really matter, just thinking that increased displacement is good but at the top of the stroke you want the smallest gap between piston head and engine head for maximum force Just musing, not an idea I've ever really thought about, anybody with more engine know-how know more?

Lucky bastards! I didn't know that This probably going to be most stupid question ever, but i'm gonna ask as I'm interested to know Drum roll What pressure do NA's run at? (I suppose I should ask what pressure my NA sucks air in at!)

Is that a radiator panel that goes all the way back, or just a sheet of metal to put stickers on!?

Would need stronger piston head/rods for the increase in pressure, need the 4e-fte cam to take advantage of the new forced induction, and all the electronics, be that a turbo ecu or a aftermarket ecu powerFC from apexi or whatever! I've heard the japs run higher octane petrol which gives them more power. The easiest way to get more is fit the better mani Info then to slap a K&N filter in the airbox (make sure it's the right one, Starletto_Joz has a thread about it somewhere I think), you can slap on a induction kit but it'll only be any use with the JDM mani

Sod's law! glad to hear it's fine otherwise

Arrrggghhhh Want them!!!

So sell me 4E-FE engine parts!
