Can't wait for more info on the epic wheel combo that has been hinted at.

He's a really helpful bloke, helped me track down some Honda rings which are now in my 1GGTE.

I think you are talking about a 3T-E,

Yep that's what i was thinking of..

It must be a bloody fiddly gasket for the blacktop manifold

is there enough room between each ot the t/b's when they are mated up to the head? 1g's are reasonably short for a 6 cylinder.

I guess a front facing plenum could be an option if it was just a matter of getting it operational.

what's that early 80's injected toyota motor that came out in the celicas with the shiny intake pipes that run up to a top mounted manifold. Adapting 2 sets of that shiz to fit to the 1g could well be an option.

As for the TPS just use any old one that can put out the 0-5v reading hell you could even mount it to the throttle pedal if you wanted to..

If you end up going for an older laptop tunable link i can probably dig up a tune from my 1g which would get it running.

the 20v itb's vacuum signal isn't shit - it's application is different (they combine AFM and MAP - if am I correct?)

eh? not following you. silver top = afm, blacktop = map

Seems unlikely that this guy would want to run an AFM anyway as it would totally negate the cool factor of the ITB's.

^^ That would be brilliant thanks. What/where is "the fort" you speak of?

It looks like it will be some time around/after the 16th-17, as i am shifting house and need to keep the starlet mobile.

Hi,

I'm after someone equipped with a gas plant that can braze up a minor crack i have in a heater pipe for my 1GGTE. It'll probably take all of about 10 minutes to fix.

No major rush (it'll be at least a week away), i'll remove it and clean it all up etc.

Drop me a pm if you 'd like to exchange services for beers or $ etc..

Cheers

Matt

^^interesting, i run my link map+rpm. it seems to do ok, although i have myself a large plenum to plug it in to.

Only hard bit is if the axle is stuck, sometimes they fall out, sometimes you want to burn your car to the ground because its so stuck

he speaks the truth, much gas-axe action to try and get my hilux diff apart.

price wise i didn't think the bearings were too costly maybe 110 for the pair from partsmaster.

^^ yip injectors into the head, my 1g is running an old link plus with no TPS and it seems to go ok. The ITB's could lead to a bit of fiddle factor getting a good vacuum source for a map sensor? should sound pretty sweet if you can make it all come together..

Just had a thought, are you going to run the TVIS plate?

Something 2J and lightweight, maybe a corolla or better still a starlet or spaceframe kit car. The Evo option will still be heavy and limited slight by it's lack of engine capacity.

On looks though the batty has to be tops.

I beleive this defines masochist quite well

How the hell do you go anywhere?

well the car left the garage today for the first time in 3 years, I have fitted and a spare metro carb up my new needle/spring i had ordered from the UK a while back, even with new gas it still needs a heap of choke to run nicely, I'm thinking I need to have a look at the jet sizes. (or wire the choke open all the time)

A bit of luck and it'll drive itself on to the trailer when it's shifting time. I'd love to get the gearbox rebuilt after driving a fresh one a while ago, man it was nice. I might have to find somewhere to show it a bit of love when i pull the motor out to put in my proper 296 Kent cam.

been a while...

finally got the turbo fitted back up and gave it a quick run with the compressor wheel held in place to prime it up and all seems well, i think the timing might be out but other than that the motor doesn't seem too bad, no mega leaks, excessive noise and no major smoke. I was going to take it for a decent run but i think i'll leave it to i shift, (the car is now full of garage junk)

A couple of pics because you can't have an update without them..

The engine bay is finally looking reasonably finished

turns out that my trailer that got rather stolen 12 months ago is still on there...

.

KP didn't make the cut, lol.

you should be in part 3 if my heap made it in.. maybe they didn't want it to be a KP'athon

Cheers.. I have got this sorted thanks to Callum / Club-k.

I should be wrecking my guards on either Thursday or Friday..

So I'm looking for a sharp price/decent job to get my rear guards rolled before a track day this weekend anyone know of a good place to get this done.

Or does someone have a roller they would like to lend me in exchange for a box of beers etc..

Cheers

Don't go to westgate, the Kumeu one has been good the few time i've been there..

you may even be able to make a hole in the back of the sill and push something through. there may even maybe a factory one around there.

I had this done on my accord a few years back due to a WOF failure, it was around 300 to repair from memory..

I'm on the lookout fopr a set of 4x4 rims at around 15x9 in a -20 or -30 so i can ditch the 6 stud to 4 stud adaptors. so if anyone ends up with some odd 6 stud centres they don't want lep me know.

Kinda wish i had kept my 850 engine now

I have also disposed of a running 850 motor and box in a skip bin

oh well you can't keep everything

odd it looks to have a late model diff (with cv cups) but has the rear breather and access to cam followers like an old 850. It'll be interesting to see what head it has and what capacity it is.

Is the plan for food or just a couple of beers etc?

Try goerge stocks for the springs.

i think i paid about 450 for the springs, threaded tube and nuts etc.. it was a few years ago though
