Finally its gone bang.

Hi all,Im sure it was only a matter of time before problems arose.

I hope from this,better things will come.

Ive finally decided to build my own engine,as this is the second stock engine ive managed to destroy this year:rolleyes:

On the upside i purchased a set of cp pistons and brian crower rods yesterday.Im thinking acl barings,hks headgasket,hks or titan cams,and pulleys.

Im open to further suggestions.As soon as i can,and if its of interest,id like to post pictures and progress.

All the same,hats off to the 2jzgte,as i managed to get 620bhp,and 623 ft torque no probs.I missed a gear and broke it..my fault,not the engine!!!

Time to get a proper ecu, running 2 bar on a unmapped mines ecu can only lead to disaster:)

I know mate,i did all along really,it was a mixture of luck and blind stupidity.

however at least it will be propper when done thistime.ive managed to get a motec e.c.u last wednesday.And gaining parts as we speak.

Its a good job my gf doesnt know how much all this is costing,or shed demand a new conservatory at once!!!

Nice one, keep us updated on the build, what turbo are you running? nice torque figure.

Im running a holset turbo donated from a plant machine,honestly no joke,i think ill stick with it to be honest.

The power and torque curves were really well matched.And it still had plenty left.

Once i work out how to put pics on here youll see it.Sorry im a bit of a div,id probably put the wrong picture on here,giving you all a dim view of my gf!! or not:innocent:

thats a huge torque figure

Ouch! Best of luck with the new rebuild

Good luck mate

623lb/ft! Nice work. Get a W.I.P. up of the build.

There is still room for an increase with this turbo.once i get the rest sorted.Its both amazing,and frustrating that i broke it with a crap gearchange.

I agree with jamie,regarding an unmapped mines,but all the same it wasnt misbehaving.

The figures i mention are true.And didnt cost the earth to attain.

Alrite Darren, cant believe thats the second one now just when you get your car back on the road!!!

Finding it hard to find time to pop over lately, but i will do soon

Hope you source a engine soon!

Nice to see you're being innovative, have you got any pics of the setup? do you have a RR graph at all?

to be honest mate it will have been well on the way to failing long before a missed gear change finished it off, you need to get the next one set up properly otherwise you will soon be on your third motor. Out of interest did you realy run 2 bar boost on an unmapped ecu

I did chap,actually 2.4,i no its silly,but at least with build im doin now,and with the new ecu,should be ok.Its my daily driver,with a slight missfire at the moment.Isuppose without the mines it would not have gone as far as it did.
