enzo_e492901 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Cheers Sparky! Thinking about it she aint changed that much apart from replacing the drivers side sill and quarter panel. Oh, I changed the Corolla manifold back to the Gi one (basically an FTE one) I didn't like the Corolla one. I also made a custom short shifter from a standard shifter and fitted that. It's what's comming in time for the summer (might be the end of summer. lol) that gets me excited. lol The short shifter What's waiting to be fitted... Modded Carina E 50mm throttle body New Fuel system components 4 of 6 gauges. There will be in total when done Oil temp, Oil pressure, Water temp, Fuel pressure, ARF and EGT A box full of Toyota parts crystal clear headlights Things I'm working on... Pattern (used to make mould) for custom fibreglass intake tube Pattern and former (used to make mould) for custom fibreglass air filter heat shield. Things I'm working on but don't have photos for... Custom cold air feed with fibreglass fitttings and aluminium tube. I have half the components for a dual cooler oil system. There will be an oil-to-air cooler and an oil-to-water cooler. The oil-air cooler is to cool the oil if needed. The oil-water cooler is for rapid oil warm up and to condition the oil should the oil-air cooler cool too much. (there is a thermostat as well) The oil-air cooler will also help take the load off the water cooling system. The system wll go: engine -> remote filter -> thermostat -> oil-air cooler -> thermostat -> oil-water cooler -> engine I also have a half size Civic rad and mounting kit from the group buy waiting to go on. At some point i'll sort an ECU, an exhaust and exhaust manifold as well. I'm also debating adding a water swirl pot and an oil accumulator. I can hear you all saying "That's a bit overkill". lol Well ya never can be to careful when you plan to run Nitrous Oxide. lol Gavin Edited September 29, 2020 by enzo_e492901 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nastyrash 2003 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 lov it fella, would have done a few things different if i had engine apart. respect to you chris. wat cc are the pink injectors. N/A tunning is proper tuning. did you notice the problem with the crank pins on these engines relating to the main and bigend shells, bad oil starvation in certain areas.

N/A tunning is proper tuning. did you notice the problem with the crank pins on these engines relating to the main and bigend shells, bad oil starvation in certain areas.Thanks Chris! You need to get a build thread up! I would have done a few things different as well but I was running out of funds at the time and wanted to concentrate on making a good solid base engine.From the research I have done I believe they are 200cc. That's not much of a differance to UK ones which I think are 195cc.I did not notice any markings, discolouration, or anything that would indicate oil starvation problems.This build is great dude!Engine looks awesomethat quality work there ,love itCheers Guys!Gavin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
