It's been bloody good, I've owned it for many years and it's gone from 30,000km to nearly 190,000 almost faultlessly. It's not my daily anymore though, as I have a work car. So it's time to reward it's faithful service by beating it up. Well, you certainly beat it up. Good job! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One one hand I should have sorted the rods already, but, hindsight aye? (and too much effort if it seemed okay without them) Not quite sure what's gonna happen from here as I'm fairly financially steamed until probably end of year at least. I've got the 1300 motor there still, maybe chuck the good head / cams combo on it, and see how VVTI goes with the full range of travel 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah they have rockers in the head, and there's no way you'll rev them out to anywhere fun. Everythings a lot more expensive.

Muncie Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Aquas are pretty popular ram raid car at moment so you've chosen a good donor. Setup a give a little page I'd definitely throw some coin your way to see one of my favourite builds not stall.

Appreciate it, thanks. But I'll figure something out. Dodsons has a pile of Aqua engines with around 100,000km for $460 each with warranty. I revved it to 9k then shifted into 3rd, and it went blammo at around 7000rpm. If I reeealllly wanted to save some money, I could buy a bare block at zebra or pick a part for about 100 bucks. There's a few of the right shape/year Prius's there, but it's hard to tell if they have 5 billion kms on them or not. Just costs a day of mucking around to get it out instead and there's more risk that it might be a dud motor. When I get around to pulling this motor out, the post mortem should be some interesting content at least anyway haha. 7 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
