-
:cry:
think shes thrown a piston…so it mus have been running over 400bhp to do that as them engines are ment to be sound for that kind of power as told from a man who works for toyota..
if the piston has gone. dont worry.
got a set of pistons anyway,and she will be back and running better than ever ;)
30mph it knocking its tits off. dad jsut said shes gone bang..will see if thats right and let u guys know. hope its something simple :( not a full strip job.
-
hope ur right welly
she is one of the top marques on the site!
-
if it is the piston thats gone pop…
have a set of topline pistons.
she was running about 370bhp before she went out :(
she will come back with avengance non the less, turbo,afm,and things is she is in need of some work...also more shiney parts:P
shes but a few bigger and expensive cars in there place, and she will be rebuilt unless its seriously serious.
-
pistons are ok thank fuck.
head gasket between 3 and 4. she will be back soon :)
-
so are you doing AWD or just FWD and what trans are you using with this?
-
FWD , celica 2l.
but soon to be changed.
4wd internals into a 2wd box.
-
Soon to be back :)
also been talking about bulding a bottom end up ready.
steel rods
wiesco pistonsmeans more boost.
-
shes been off the road for the past week :(
pistons gave in, but shes got some st205 pistons now, low compression, from the youngest gt4, had bottom end rebored and oversized pistons :D
ST165 GT4 Bottom End
ST185 GT4 Head
ST205 GT4 Pistons & bits :)Hybrid now :D
she should be back running in the 20psi range of boost
-
shes been on the road for nearly a week now running in.
clipped boost a few times, then eased of, never felt a kick in back like that from boost creeping in and never heard anything like it before im my life.
new project soon ;)
-
Engine's been rebuild now.
Running it in slowly, then AFM is going and and uprating it to st205 parts :)
then we can booost her. gt4 afm's are known for melting pistons, as they get a slight crack in, and fuck mixture up, causing them to pink.
but she is flying again, Stage 3 Turbo helps :)
-
Try and get some pics and videos up please very interested..
:D
-
Had a email today off Banzai Mag, talking about a feature of the mazota, want to know abit more and some pics. woop woop!
-

-
When they take photos of ya car give em ya e-mail address they wii send you the hi-res pics. Then you can post em up. :P
-
481 miles on the pistons now, starting to get boost in, pushing the throttle about half inch, and using 5lb of boost, and pulled 110mph up a hill about 1/4 mile…
