    Depends what headwork your after and how deep your pockets are lol. Most of the time pissing about with the cylinder head makes it worse than what the stock item was.

    Turbo on its own price = £1500

    Yeah it just depends when the car is registered over here as to what plate they put on it.

    Wouldn't waste money on head work, and the cams aren't the problem either, reground cams can be a right pain in the ass to get fitted correctly. Try looking at the valve sizes

    Strut braces are just for show. They are no use on a monocoque chassis unless they are the size of an I beam girder.

    With that fuel and a good ecu I would choose 0.6mm, but depends what your valve to piston clearence is. Other than that anything upto 1.2mm will do the job fine
  8. AdamB
    What ecu are you using and what octane fuel do you have available. 8.5:1 is fine providing you have good controlability.

    Depends if they know what their doing with a diff. The preload sets the torque which initiates the lsd. Its trial and error and depends on your driving style as to what its set to. However thats the proper why of setting up a diff, 99% of people will juet chuck them in.

    Yes it puts excess thrust load on the bearings, however the bearings should be able to take the load, so the turbo failing because of it is quite slim.

    Believe its thinner, so no their not the same.

    This is true, figure of 8'sfor 30-45 mins and change the oil afterwards as well to remove any metal swarf. Setting the preload on a clutch type diff is also a must.

    The larger you go the less bottom end power you get due to gas velocity, but obviously you have to make a compromise if your going for power. 70mm is good for 500bhp so you can sacrifice a bit of diameter if need be.

    Warm engine, disconnect one plug at a time, disconnect the EFI fuse and pull the plug from the ignitor/coil, crank engine with wide open throttle for no more than 10 seconds or until the gauge has reached equilibrium

    65mm

    Want these parts gone

    Depends who built it and what tolerences they used.
  18. AdamB
    Depends on your budget and whos going to map it.

    The 4EFE ecu I'm not sure I would use, because of the larger capacity of the 5E you need more fuel to get the correct mixture with the larger volume of air. The 4EFTE ecu will be ok to use since its a turbo and has more fuel flow.
  21. AdamB
    Yes you can, but wouldn't do it for long periods. A map tailored to your engine would be far better.
  22. AdamB
    Neither, it depends on many many factors, honing tolerence, ring gap, cross hatch angle blah blah, but it doesn't mean X is stronger than Y. All rings are put under tension against the cylinder wall, you will find the limits of the pistons before you have any ring seal problems.

    I can drop them off for you if you want mate, only round the corner from me and save you a few more pennies.

    OEM Toyota, or can't go wrong with Hastings, their a very good manufacturer.

    Offers?
