Soonto_HAS_soop Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Be carfeul with that Ebay seller, as he is selling a Supra Twin Turbo gearbox in his shop from what seems to be the same car, but it is only a 5 speed box. The engine does look like a TT one, but I'd go check before shelling out 1300 notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Nightmare mate... Ro has an engine still I think... Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Shit, Gutted for you Rob. That worries me as mine is making the same noise that yours was making just after start up...maybe she due too! Not re-build time for you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 well its a difficult one because it was fine when it left me, Paul said after a compression test that piston 4 was low, piston 5 was gone and piston 6 was also low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Surely it would be an idea before you start tuning to test the state of the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bijal Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 did he do a compression test before the mapping started? whatever happens mate good luck with sorting it all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
