    You could just file the holes slightly on a 4x98 PCD and get away with it. Other than that use adaptors.

    MAF or TPS it sounds like mate, do you have a boost gauge on it at all as that will give you an idea of whats happening,

    If you run a good standalone ecu something like Link, Haltech, Motec, Syvecs etc then you can have safety features switched on (you will still need a sensor) this relays info back to the ecu and the mapper can set a limit ie say fuel pressure, once the ecu see's that the fuel pressure has dropped below that pre-set value it will automatically shut the engine down. Or if you have something really clever like the Syvecs units if your fuel pressure drops and you have a missfire it will automatically shut down individual cylinders until it detects no problems and will carry on running the engi

    Exhaust system and coilovers are sold.

    Depends on how much your willing to spend really and what kind of features you want. I got a complete set of STRI gauges for sale

    As low as possible to the ground, with the softest springs you can get away with without the car bottoming out. Bump and rebound settings depend on the surface your driving on really. Something with the weight of a starlet a spring rate of something like F 6kg/mm R 4kg/mm. With a stiff rear anti roll bar.

    Want these last few parts gone offers

    The problem being though if you switch to say a 20g you could end up shifting the restriction to the turbine side, so no matter how big you go on the comp wheel your going to gain very little power (due to the turbine side being restricted) and much more lag because of the extra mass of the comp wheel.

    A lot of aftermarket turbo manufacturers don't offer compressor maps for their custom spec turbo's because it becomes easier for their competition to copy and try to better what they have already produced.

    Checked to see if your getting fuel on that cylinder mate?

    Sorry my mistake I thought it was the electrode that had failed and not the ceramic gauging by what was posted. High EGT's can cause the electrode to go into a molten state and drop off into the cylinder if hot enough, however since it wasn't the electrode that had failed then that's irrelevent now. Heat range 9's certainly wouldn't have been ideal I don't believe and should only be used when running exotic fuels and or nitrous, I believe Spuddy before had ran 440bhp on heat range 8's with no problems at all. Saying the plugs look perfect can be quite misleading in some cases, that's not

    I don't believe the plugs were the problem, if thats what's being told I would want reassurance that all plugs were removed from the shelf (assuming they were supplied by Race-Tech in the first place). It's not uncommon that an electrode from a spark plug falls off into the cylinder, however they don't "just fail", its usually down to an EGT issue, however the plugs would need to have their condition inspected. What grade plugs were used? Regarding which plugs to choose is quite irrelevant as it depends on the engines charcteristics, you also have to remember that a sacrifice has to be mad

    I had ringland failure on No 2 cylinder running stock boost, chocolate pistons these

    Bad times mate Could well have been a lot worse for sure though so keep your chin up! You might wanna get yourself over on to TGTT, this has happened quite a few times regarding the exhaust valve breaking up, your answer will lay there Edit, its here for you http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?99424-Latest-shananigans&highlight=broken+valve
  24. AdamB
    Hi mate, exhaust is still available. Its a 2.5 inch diameter
