yeah...always rebuild engines in as clean an environment as you can....i hope everything works out for you when you have questions just post away, this is what the forum is for----lots of handy/knowledgeable persons around here

i'm more familiar with the 7age hasselgren rally car builds we have locally-----oh what a lovely noise they make....oh my my my figured you would have a much wider knowledge of these kind of n/a builds...

from off my memory----and i'm not a mechanic number 1 goes on the timing belt end ...and each number sequentially until you reach number 5 at the flywheel end ALSO, i believe they are directional with an arrow/marking which needs to point towards the timing belt end....so make sure they are installed in the correct way/direction same with the thrust washers, they have some grooves on one side and need to be installed correctly on to the crank---i cant remember which way they go the 5e manual should work PLEASE can someone else confirm this http://www.slideshare.net/pacovico/motor-5e scroll down to page 30/31....see the diagram and the write up

hey morgey or someone else in the know....weren't there issues with the hybrid "7age" in the past??----i think high revs?? i know it can be done when properly built, but it does take some nice money and know how---hasselgren, etc

just on a side note...it may be best to double check the availability of the specific parts you need for you gearbox nowadays, as some things are discontinued

i can only comment on wepr....i bought a mild steel kit in 2007/2008 and it has been going strong ever since absolutely no fitment issues, no cracks and great customer service from what i've seen over the years with other members, even if you have issues, he will try to get them sorted out for you---at his expense that's why he's very respected in this community----he stands by his products those have been my experiences and general observations

sorry for the late drop in...but i'll add my two cents i've personally been involved in running 5efhe pistons in a 4efte with gt rods----stock build....it was an experiment at first as we had no idea what would happen and how reliable it would be .....it turned out to be very reliable and quite responsive off boost too this car ran a td04L with emu and was tuned to run 18/20psi on pump gas....ran well for a long time it can be done....it just needs to be tuned properly---fuel AND ignition (using some sort of detonation listening device)

normally nothing like that catches my attention....BUT i must admit that looks great thumbs up to whoever did it

looking good....nice course

thanks phil i have 2 new toyo r1r home, as i was waiting for the dealer to get more in stock from early last year...but i subsequently bought and run 4 kumho ku36 for over a year and i am very happy with them, so i never took them off lolol i love 888, but have never been sure how they would handle the rainy season on the road---in the dry they are great keep me posted on the maxsport performance when you get to test them in anger

very useful input there keri....always a wealth of knowledge as usual on these matter .. i think your upgraded braking system options that rival the st202 set up are great based on the reviews, well priced and i believe have the additional benefit of being noticeably lighter than the st202 set up which is about 10lbs heavier than the stock set up----yes, i weighed each part ...i was even tempted to buy one of your kits, but i think they were out of stock as you had some issues getting calipers iirc nonetheless this has been my personal experience with my own car--ep91 abs...i've had absolutely no drama with the celica st202 twin pot upgrade.. before this on my standard upgraded set up i ran dot 4 brake fluid, hawk pads, braided brake lines, ep91 3G dimpled and slotted rotors and the car performed very well overall, but this set up experienced brake fade a bit faster than i liked when pushed for a bit.....honestly it worked well over the years till the car's power/mods started to exceed what the brakes could reasonably handle....so no fault of the stock (or stock upgraded) braking system as it was never intended for what we throw at them so i recently upgraded to the celica st202 twin pots, dot 4 brake fluid, ebc red pads, 277mm astra discs, still using the same braided lines, 7/8 bmc to sort out the softer/longer pedal....and i really can't fault the system in terms of braking performance........there is no way my stock or stock uprated brakes come close to this set up or out braking it...no way at all under any circumstances...i don't have any issues with front brakes locking up and actually it stops very easily (even with far less activation of abs now as i purposely tried to activate abs a few times to see how it would work out)...the car feels very settled and smooth under braking PS--i always keep my car's braking system (and car generally) in prestine condition...so all calipers were refurbished and serviced accordingly...i also run decent tires kumho ku36, coil-overs, rarb, etc....so i believe all of these things add up to create and enhance the overall "experience" .....i can not speak for this st202 set up on other people's cars, but mine has been good thus far

the part number is 47201-16190 for the 7/8 BMC from the EP82

pistons come in 3 sizes stock.... so the builder/you basically know what to order when you need to replace---assuming everything is within original tolerances and the builder is using standard pistons as you've seen,,,its also stamped on the block by each cylinder

assuming that you have done all the other checks mentioned above....as i said before i got my 7/8 BMC from an older 1992 ep82 turbo model..,,its a direct bolt on.....some paseo have 7/8 BMC as well from my research,, please double check that your current BMC is 13/16 first

i'm not too clued on gearboxes and would like some help in trying to match the synchro ring part number to the specific gear for an EP82...here's what toyodiy shows me: Ring, Synchronizer No.1 33367-12070 (No.1) 33367-12100 (No.2) Ring, Synchronizer No.2 33368-12060 (No.2) 33368-12081 (No.1) Ring, Synchronizer No.3 33369-12030................................i suspect this is 5th gear synchro?!?! thanks for any help offered

HD --can you check to see if any of the pistons are sticking?---were the calipers refurbished before you installed them? do you have any vacuum leaks from your servo? is the check valve to the servo working properly?---few YouTube vids can help you test it i had similar spongy brake pedal issues when i installed my st202 twin pot caliper set up along with ebc pads on my ep91...i run braided lines like you ...i bedded in the ebc pads.....bleed the system many times, no calipers stuck, rebuilt 13/16 BMC with seal kit, but still had a spongy pedal feel when driving though the car was stopping fine,... as well, the brake pedal had much more travel than with the stock brake set up and too far down for my personal liking do you have an ep91?---looks so from the pic.........can you check your BMC size?---is it 13/16? i cured my troubles when i replaced my 13/16 BMC with a 7/8 BMC from an older ep82 (rebuilt with seal kit)...pedal was much firmer, less travel and spongy feeling gone....feels great now-----------on a side note i wonder if the 15/16 or 1" would give that HARD race feeling, but that just my own greed...lol when i did my research, it seems ae111 with twin pots come with 7/8 BMC as standard...i have no idea what the st202 comes with, but i suspect 7/8 - 1" BMC http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/102435-bigger-brake-master-cylinder/ the single pot st202 seems to have a 57mm piston...which equates to an area of 2553mm2 vs the stock piston which is about 51mm in diameter with an area of 2044mm2 approximately........it led my to believe more BMC volume is necessary to push the bigger set ups, especially as i have ABS as well
