Finaly decided on my next course of action, was going for the gt40p's but ive changed my mind AGAIN.

After looking at cylinder heads and intake manifolds ive decided on going for the trickflow top end kit, so im pulling the explorer manifold off and the 1.7 yt roller rockers and they will be up for sale while i pull the heads n manifold off my other motor (the good one) to prepare it for the new top end + getting gcg to fit my t04r wheel.

Car is currently off the road getting new fuel pumps and surge tank fitted, now it looks like its going to be off the road longer lol.

Hmm looks like ill need a bigger maf too...

Turbo is off car waiting to be dropped off at gcg's workshop and i picked up capare's trickflow 1.7 stud mount roller rockers, also changed my mind for the 100,000,000 time instead of getting the top end kit ill just be getting the twisted wedge heads and when i get my dart block ill throw in a custom turbo grind camshaft.

Heads should be here late next week then pulling turbo headers off to be ceramic coated (sick of getting fibreglass on my hands while changing spark plugs).

Btw i now have yella terra 1.7 roller rockers for sale $200.

Re fitting my to4r wheel, the 60-1 is still on it but it would bleed boost from 16 down to 12 by 5000rpm it was starting to run out of puff.

But if you've already got a questionable head gasket, the increase in power could make it go pop, without detonation.


Yh my coolant has turned to coffee and the overflow tank smells like my exhaust pre cat lol cant tell if its happening under boost or its actually damaged the gasket but ill find out real soon.

EOI selling my turbo header and cross overpipe including the dump pipe and 200cpi cat, dump pipe has a .70 turbine housing welded to it but can easly be removed (t4 bum twin scroll) and ill throw in the oil send line with it.

Asking $600 ono.

To get it running on your V8 you would need a turbo,catback exhaust system,wastegate and a oil drain line for the sump.
