Jeus presumed you were on an N/A which is why you were asking about a thicker headgasket lol. Fail. No point in running less compression unless your after huge power and for that you would be on forged internals anyway. Standard headgasket and compression ratio is fine for TD04 @ 1.2bar

Super Air Fuel Controller amjad.

This is maxing out a standard fte, If your going to run td04 @ 1.2 bar don't use the N/A engine or get some fte pistons in it or even better forged pistons. Who was you planning of mapping your motor?

You could say that but its more like the burn becomes alot more unpredictable and can then put the power down on any part of the piston, be it even or consentrated at one point causing hot spots. The smother and more controlled the burn you get the better and smother power delivery your going to get, which in turn gives you reliability. Ive seen alot of tuners producing Maps on engines which gives you nothing then everything! Which feels good when your showing your mates how fast your car is but the engine wont last long. The smother you can bring on that power delivery, even though you wont feel it as much the longer your engine will last and the more usable power you will make for longer in the rev range. I'm not trying to put you off building an engine with what you've got but just trying to tell you its easy to make it work with what you've got, its what you want out of it at the end of the day and how lucky you maybe that something might not go wrong, you might be better aiming for a high compression low boost motor which could be more reliable and more responsive with a slightly larger turbo running only 5PSi than running a thicker headgasket to push more boost to actually make less usable power.

as the piston comes up to compression its squashes the fuel and air more into the center of the piston giving a more even burn when its ignited, or in the 4e heads it puts most of the power on the inlet side of the piston which is why you always find the ring lands have cracked on the side the valve cut out are. A thicker head gasket will let you run more boost but will most likely give you less reliability and reduced performance compared to a engine built on tolanrances, but if your after a buget build then yeh go for it. it been done before with little to no problems.

the battery light comes on with the cat light so seem to be something to do with the cat temp sensor maybe faulty you dont need it you dont have a cat just disconnect it. just read you dont have cat sensor connected, maybe the wire is shorting/touching the gearbox somewhere.

looks awesome dude keep it up, looking very clean

awesome update craig.

also have disadvantages to like more chance of the gaskets being blown out also you'll screw up the quench pad clearance.

Thanks micky Few updates Went to the local breakers and found a few parts First was mat that went into the rear centre cup holder.... I actually pulled £6 out of the screw hole before dropping it in place. Found a coin holder!?!? OEM passenger seat tray as mine didn't have one not sure if there optional or standard fit. And replaced my steering wheel as it was very tired plus I don't like the two tone colour on the standard wheel. Found this out of a Lexus is200 looks same but all black. A small mod on the back of the wheel and my air bag fit directly in place. I've also fitted my winter wheels.

I've got a ep82 one in my for sale thread. Say here and picture fitted it'll fit an ep91 with abs />http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19913&st=0&p=256018&

Double post!!

Ive got both of these ready to go £25 posted.

The turbo boxes are all alloy the NA boxes inc paseo ones have steel end cap

I've got a set of amber quad light indicators off a black GT. send me an offer.

Square or quad light? Square or quad light?

Go on then put my name down

Thanks guys glad everyones happy

Right few questions start off... How much do you get for the £15 GB or £17.24 NGB. how long does it usually last? considering us starlet people usually have 15"-16" wheels. Why type of surfaces has it been tested on? Thanks Luke

Thanks guys enjoy the parts.

It was only 3weeks ago. I more than likely want happen but the fact there going to such extreme measures to make a few extra million quid, just goes to show there feeling the pinch to now and hopefully prices will start to drop which prob won't happen as well.

Glad you fixed it dude...... So keepie or sellie?
