Advice needed

[mccartney11]

First time dealing with turbo Toyota setup , I've converted my ep70 to 5efte, when I start it it cuts out 3-4 time then it'll start and run at 700rpm sounds like it's running on 2 cylinders and won't rev properly, but as it warms up it revs normal, any ideas?

Next is it gets hot quite quickly, like after 4-5 mins running the heat off the manifold is severe , making me wonder is something up I've never known them to get this hot,

it's also boiling the water in the rad , it's blowing steam out the overflow , both rad pipes are hot , I've checked thermostat and it's opening and closing fine, any other things to try before I put it down to head gasket?

Any help appreciated as I'm new to turbo set ups only used to dealing with 1e& 2e's in starlets

Timing? Recently one of mine ran like a bag of shit till i sorted its timing out. Coolant sounds like hg or water pump failure

I don't see how it runs ok while it's a bit warmed up ?

Id still say it sounds ignition ey. The coolant coulx be a blocked rad too, how old is it?

Sorted hearing issue was the rad cap
