Hey i just picked up a motor, think its from a crown, has the front sump but the pan has been modded and i need a stock one, also the oil pickup is not there so will need one of them too. I also need a stock convertor and the 3 prong output shaft yoke. Can anyone help? i am in brisbane Cheers...

Hey thats a good point that i did not think of, i have the standard front and rear cross over, no dampner, i am feeding into one rail and returning from the other, thanks for idea i will give it a go :)

Well Jamie from EIS called in last night and flow tested my 550cc injectors, they all flow within 5% of each other, normally i'd be happy but this means i have no clue as to why this cylinder keeps failing. I spoke to Scott from Venom and he had a piston with exact damage from cylinder 3 of...

Pulled the head last night, cylinder number 3, detonation has eaten the side of the piston away, there is a light alloy residue on the top of the sleeve, looks like i will get away with a quick bead hone and slap another piston in. The cometic gasket is fried too. Think its safe to say i have a...

Sorry if this in the incorrect place, can anyone help? i think i may have cracked a piston, will be pulling the head off tonight, just trying to find anyone who has some factory pistons lying around they want to sell. I sold a complete motor in parts to someone on here but have lost his contact...

Well i got to pull my engine again, i had a mishap at the drags, 1st pass of the day the car fried through 1st and into 2nd, i heard a slight bit of detonation at the top of 2nd so i got off it, on it again boost spiked back up hard it rattled and pop i now have a V7 :) i suspect i have cracked...

Hey all, i had an injector fail on my 1UZFE turbo and i have a cylinder leaking compression into the sump, i have not pulled the head off but its got cometics on it so i am expecting to find a nice cracked piston, has anyone got some stock pistons lying around?

Hey mate, i was going to run it on wednesday night, got almost to the track and mates car stuffed up so had to go home get the trailer. I have ran it once before on lighter tune, 12-13psi with slow 2.3 60' ran 12.7 @ 116, i am installing a 50 HP dry kit on it at the moment (to make up for the...

Well took the vh for a bit of a skid last night, my eboost died so i had to make up a temporary bleed valve, i got the tune good to 16 psi and had a guess at anything after, in top gear under more load i was getting 20 psi of boost, no detonation :) it was a colder night and i had bp ultimate...

Oh while i am here, i have to put the heads back on tonight, is there any trick to re-installing the cams? Is there a tech article showing what lines up with what?

Well she did a head gasket, so cometics going in, had a bit of material removed from the chambers and a mill, new head bolts, fuel system etc. Can get cometics in AU for < $100 per side :)

:) yep should be a weapon with a turbo 3s, ke10s weigh 1/10th of stuff all

Slightly different rules up here, it was QLD blue plated with the 13BT and auto but i never bothered to change the engine number on the registration. I have had the car registered for quite a few years. With the 2JZ its not possible to engineer but it will remain registered as long as it can...

Cool 3s KE10 should be fun :) i have had a few ke10s. As for OKE020 i decided to go back to toyota power, 2jz :) 1000 fly wheel hp seems to be quite easy to achieve with these engines, i have removed and sold the 13BT and complete driveline to a guy with another KE20, i have cut the firewall...

Yep i think 430 would be an achievable goal on 14psi. I am just amazed at how easy it makes power, i mean i am using a reversed crown log one side and a cut and modified soarer header the other lol. The car will be up for sale shortly, i need some more cash for the 1hp per kg KE20 corolla project :)
