yeah they'll fit.

Can you get a postage cost to the UK for the 264/256 pls

Hmmmm anything from China I tend to avoid...

Are molnar any good?

You've got custom rods...?

I have recently acquired a corolla block and head. The head is not for sale but the crankshaft, pistons and conrods are all for sale. I would prefer these go together. They were removed from a car that had done 85k miles and they are all in excellent condition. I will post up pictures later on when ...

How is it possible to raise the RPM limit on the standard ECU? Mine cuts fuel or ignition off at 7.6k

I've never had to buy conrods before, are they worth it?

Cheers

So I've got my free engine now. It's not got inlet or exhaust manifolds, but that's not an issue. It's a 3-rib, 40mm crank that's done 85k miles so that's very low compared to engines on eBay etc. I also now have the mk1b crank which is in great condition! But i'm faced with having to buy conrods as...

Does anyone know if the earlier 40mm crank is more sought after?

Cheers

Is that $485 for the postage or the whole lot altogether lol

If I reuse my 252/260 cams, i'm assuming the extra compression will help them out quite a lot? Currently its 10:2 but hoping to go for 11:8

How much delivery to the UK?

Hi Yoshi, I am getting a polished and balanced 42mm crank from my mate for £50 so no issue there nor is an engine builder. There is an older fellow I know who has built formula atlantic engines in the past and has had high powered n/a corollas built in his garage as well, so I'm in good hands ;) He'...

Ok understood but bearing in mind the difficulty I had trying to find a replacement crank when I damaged the end of mine, £50 is a bargain considering I had my current crank 'sleeved' for £102...

I have some timing belt covers and I live in the UK

I was going to have some head work done as well, port matching and to remove all the unnecessary material like I've seen on one of 'oldeskewltoy' threads somewhere. Got a quote for a stage 1 head (need to look into whatever that covers) for £450. Would removing that material to increase the flow ai...

After my wedding at the end of August this year I am to rebuild another engine I'm being given. That's pretty cool... when I got married all I got was a toaster and a dinner set :D Cheers... jondee86 Lol that's a pretty good gift isn't it haha No you cannot get new cranks in the UK any more. Cheape...

Do you guys know how much a 4AGZE balanced and polished crankshaft is worth?

Cheers

We also have our valve springs. They are a little cheaper and great for most cams up to about 10mm. http://www.matrixgarage.com/products/matrix-garage-16v-valve-springs You do however want to be careful with oversized valves. People often don't realize how much the mass of a valve effects it. Overs...

Yeah I know about the crank in that block, I'd just rather not remove my engine and not be able to use the car whilst I'm building the engine is all plus it's a free engine. I have been told it's not typical but it can still take good power through it. Plus it's coming from a very reputable source s...

Hi all, After my wedding at the end of August this year I am to rebuild another engine I'm being given. So far here is my wish list. 85' 3-rib block 82mm pistons from matrix garage = MG/Arias 11:5:1 Supertech Oversize Exhaust Valves 32mm Supertech Oversize Inlet Valves 32mm Supertech uprated valve s...

Might be easier fitting another starter motor. Mine has snapped in exactly the same place.

Are there any decent headers out there for the MR2? I can have the 20v modified but it seems like a lot of work and 20valvers aren't very common in the UK.

I can have someone bring one over to the UK from the States for me, but I am not keen on the OBX quality...

Any ideas?

For sale is my stainless steel Janspeed full Exhaust System Pictures will come on tonight when I've cleaned it up. It's in good condition, it's been welded a few times, due to the poor design that Janspeed came up with to have no flexi joint. Was running fine before removal. It's actually now too lo...

Sorry didn't read it properly, apologies.

Is there a way of jamming the TVIS butterflies open by not disassembling the whole rail?

Thanks for the offer but I'm getting married in 6 months and I cannot afford to buy new things at the moment.

As suggested you might try playing with the cam timing. Those are tiny cams so with your small compression bump the low end should feel similar to stock. this......... although the intake cam duration is a bit more then "tiny" at 230 degrees duration @ .050"(1.2mm) this cam is closer...

The TVIS should always be a benefit to low end. The only reason to remove it is when the whole intake becomes such a restriction to top end performance that it's worth sacrificing the low end losses for much more top end with a completely different manifold setup or ITBs. I've just got sod all low ...

Hi,

I'm running a .8mm metal head gasket anyway.

Hi all, I am currently running some Cat Cams 252/260 with 8.5/9.0 lift on the standard ECU. Idle when up to temperature is okay at around 1k rpm, no issues with that. The engine is from a Corolla originally with 9:4:1 compression, but upped it to about 10:21. Issue I am having, which is probably dow...
