Thanks Vanman, Id like a quick powerful torquey engine... got a celica 5 spd and getting a LSD once the engine is built. I dont wanna mortgage a rebuild but im happy to spend but yeah not overboard. So Maybe look at strengthening everything and going from there.

Ok cool, well with that in mind, I would be hunting for some sierra pinto rods.(mildly stronger than escort ones) And I would probably push my luck with new stock pistons. Adding some ARP fasteners would be good insurance. And if its not already planned, then definitely get your bits balanced.

let's assume the block at the very least got honed,and possibly a mild bore. That would increase your cc's very mildly, and a skim of the head, (just enough to ensure its flat) should also very mildly increase compression. tiny improvement, but not enough to stress things out.

Stick with a cam thats not going to encourage you to rev out over 7K rpm, and I would expect the engine to give you some fun mileage.

The next step up for me would be looking into some of the recipies ppl have posted recently.. Like the semi forged Mahle VW pistons mated to Datto 1.6 rods on a mildly stroked crank.

Ha! you wouldn't believe it...

Fiucking fly wheel come loose.. and somehow it was banging around.. crank is a little damaged but thats about it... Im stoked it didn't throw a rod or somthing bad, so while hes got the engine out im going to get him to lighten the fly, more compression etc. Very very happy with that, but now i face the problem with getting a frigen Blue slip... [:(!] i know.. i should have kept it registered but im a tool sometimes. Anyone in Newcastle know anywhere or anyone who can give me a blueslip? I may be able to get one but id like to get a few more options. It's got the Twins on it and it's fairly lumpy and loud so i thought im going to have a bit a trouble getting one. Any help would be much apreciated.

Also looking for a good LSD, Any recommendations?

Good to hear you didn't do any major damage. I Sheared my flywheel off the back of the crank one time. Dumped the clutch in second gear at 6000rpm [:I]..

I got my blueslip at all care car care in kuri kurri. He is very flexible. My mk2 didn't even have a carbon canister and the tyres were in a very sad state. speedo didn't work either! lol

Lol Changed, Got Blue Slip. Passed with flying colours :)

Hi Mate,
Careful what you write, you dont know who's reading these forums.

second that

So, It's been a long time but i've finlally got my car back.
all problems fixed and running ok, it is going to be dyno tuned again and then be running at a %100. Got the compression to 9.8 and its running alot better. Ill Try get some scanned in pics to show the figures and what not.

Im happy i got her back now.. When i started it when i picked it up... i had a giant smile on my face.. simply because it had been almost 8 months since i had heard it running.

So the license is back and the car is back. i wonder which one goes first [:p]

Good stuff mate. Enjoy it! (again)

100.4Hp! Not to bad for the twin 40's. got it dynoed yesterday at G-force Dyno. I'll scan in the dyno chart when i get a chance but im happy with that result.
