building a 4agte

[Brick]

theres heaps of little things to no about. and making sure the engine internaly is super clean. And then fitting pistons, bearings, torque settings and all

[gasman]

well my mate who is giving me a hand is a mechanic. i just want to know for my own sake and to understand whats going on and why while we are doing it

[Brick]

just get him to explain everthing as you go. Thats how i learnt

[tsoob]

i have used 550's from a evo with a walbro pump and the evo regulator, i just had my std fuel rail built up with weld then change holes, just make sure you run a resistor inbetween the + wire from the ecu or you will cook the injectors.

is it worth while getting arp head studs? and how much do these usually go for?

if your not planning on pulling it apart again just use brand new toyota one's,
just make sure that you only use them on the final assembly as once you do them up they may stretch.

i've re-used my old ones atm but i have arp headstuds to put on my car, as i plane to pull the head off once a year maybe or after alot of competition to inspect stuff.

edit* as it's a 20v you'll need to buy two 16v kits as they dont make a kit for the 20v still. that i know of anyway, as you will need them all the same length

oh dam 2 sets?
i got a price for about 450 a set of headstuds only

[IH8TEC]

crap, whos that from?

could get 2 16v kits for that

[gasman]

japrace down in chch

[IH8TEC]

i got mine not long ago, 16v. i can get two sets of 16v ones for 447, i'm guessign thats what they offered you maybe. and they keep the other bolts, not sure. but ARP dont do a kit for the 20v yet, jsut checked, although you could email them with the details, wouldn't be hard for them to put something together, and most likely get it cheaper than that.

the exchange rate is pretty good at the moment

[matt dunn]

yeah or buy toyota ones for about $5 each

[IH8TEC]

or that yea hell even bazda is on std headstuds still and he's running 27psi

[gasman]

i guess good old mr toyota it is then, allong with arp rod bolts tho

Rev head does them for less than that again, $20 odd for a set
