That's great news and I doing engine rebuild so can incorporate dizzy delete as looking at link G4 ecu

Stunning kit, would love to see this with NA-T manifold

Thank you very much and the short shifter is 5 speed one for the w58 but can get 6speed ones aswell, and it feels good and punchy using it with shorter throw it's a lot quicker to change gears but also has a very solid feel to it.

Pains

Box

No offence taken at all, I have rebuilt old ford blocks years ago but never build forged block myself that's why was asking about is building it the same in sense, I know sounds stupid but just checking the theory is the same as before just replaced standard size new pistons back into block. I will more than likely get it built properly as don't want to take any risks. Also I already have uprated brakes and rest of car to take power, all need after build is better gearbox as I have the W58 box

I am getting link G4+ ecu, and if go forged don't need oil squirters but if get TT block it will have squirters. I am planning NA-T as using NA head and already have the half of the turbo kit. Will be using NA head gasket on the build, the plan was never to do this, I was just going to do basic NA-T conversion using original NA block but the knocking noise has forced my hand to do full rebuild and just need to know what standard TT block can take running NA head. I have seen people running 550bhp NA-T builds using TT pistons but I want to take car to 600-700bhp and want car to be reliable. Also another question I have please is if I get my blocked machined and honed or rebored if needed and buy brand new forged rods and pistons with correct size rings to match bores, can I bolt block together myself or will it need to done by specialist?

I will start at beginning, I have NA supra and have removed engine to do NA-T build after noticed had knocking noise. I have removed engine and initial idea was to do fully forged block, but reckon will cost about 4K and was thinking does it make more sense to buy pre-built TT block from Whifbitz. Question is how much power can the standard TT block take with NA head? I am also running Nos system that's why thinking forged build be best, but thinking 600-700bhp is realist goal as want to have very fast road car that can use on strip and track, but don't want to have to take block out again in few years. Also on another note I did suspect little end had gone from rattle as noise was bottom of back on engine but when took clutch off the flywheel bolts were only finger tight, so now think that could of been noise just hope hasn't damaged crank.

I suspected little end was gone but after taking engine out and removing clutch found the flywheel bolts were only finger tight, and am doing full rebuild with new bits but was going to go fully forged but now unsure as it's for a NA-T build so thinking would pre-built TT block be good enough

Thanks for the advice Chris it's not something I looking forward to doing but needs must. Am going to get carbide drill set to do the job, and it's a total strip and rebuild as block was knocking. Am unsure if cost effective to rebuild block or just buy one all ready done as not confident enough to rebuild block myself

Just had this happen to me while stripping engine, haven't got access to welder, so going to try the drill method and hope it works out

Well today with the help of Inazone, got engine out and onto engine stand ready to be stripped down in next few days. When I undone clutch I noticed the flywheel bolts were only finger tight, didn't need socket at all, so wondering if that could of been cause of noise and weather any damage has been done to crank.

Aligment

Well today have finally got engine ready to be removed, all need to do is undo the gearbox bolts. Hopefully tomorrow can get the front wings removed so can push engine loom out way completely, just shame can't disconnect the engine loom. Also my new engine hoist has turned up so can get that built and hopefully pull engine out next week.

Thank you Tony and will properly need extra pair of hands getting engine out just to be extra safe

Nothing really to update with regards to getting engine out, have purchased engine stand and hoist will be turning up this week. Haven't been able to get on with supra as was involved in car crash last week and my back has been very sore and stiff. Crash wasn't my fault she drove into side of my daily while was stationary. Hopefully over next two weeks off I can get wings off and lift engine out ready to begin strip down
