Beastmode panda Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Well, finally got the car booked in today for mapping on the 28th of this month. Having my boost pipes made up this week hopefully, all welded together so there's only a joiner either end. Rather excited! Anyway, obviously I want the car to be at it's optimum so I've done some pre-mapping things such as; Iridium plugs gapped to .8. New dizzy cap. New rotor arm. Oil change. Oil filter change. Now my next question is, I used Castrol 10-40 oil.. Will that be ok for a forged engine? I've always used it, however now that I'm forged I want to be sure it will be ok. Seems fine so far. Is there anything else I should do before going for mapping? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aamir Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 You will be lucky to find a new Distributor Cap as they are on back order. According to Toyota they are expecting them back in stock within the next 3-4 months.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 You will be lucky to find a new Distributor Cap as they are on back order. According to Toyota they are expecting them back in stock within the next 3-4 months.. He has already bought one. I would use 5w40 fully synthetic oil especially in a forged engine.
