Piston slap Hi Justen, I've followed your progress from time to time and love your car. Don't get to disappointed with that engine yet! I have just finished building a forged tt 1uz and put it back into my Soarer. When I ordered the pistons, CP/ Carrillo sent me their recommended size for a...

Xr8tt do you have a build thread? Thankyou for the ring gap measurements, I have used the same top of .025 but the second comp ring is already .029-.030 without any filing. I hope I don't get blowby.

More updates please. Have you run it on another dyno or just the one? These horsepower numbers are CRAZY high for 12 psi. I'm not doubting just shocked & looking at your setup to see why your getting such good numbers. Maybe you've just achieved the perfect combo of turbo and manifold back...
