[QUOTE="madmatt, post: 177536, member: 93"] Forgot to update this for a while! Progress wise: Engine arrived and had some issues with coolant flow, didn't notice previous head was modified for single exit coolant flow.... So the heads were switched and a new TRD gasket was used. Been enjoying driving this for a good while and weighing up options for engine rebuild - 1. High Comp/Rev/~220bhp NA 20v, using previous block, remachined crank, new pistons, rods, cams, ARP bolts, new seals etc: ~£2000 2. Turbo 20v/~260bhp - ~£2500 3. Turbo 16v ~ 230bhp - ~£750 4. Another engine all together - ~£LOTS UNTIL....an engine, gearbox, loom and rear axle set-up OUT of someone's Track Trueno came up for the same cost as the proposed engine rebuild No. 1 without the following worries/issues: 1. Grenading T50 gearbox - Known weakpoint 2. Grenading Kouki Rear axle - Slightly whiny, would benefit from rebuild with solid pinion spacer So, I went for a package that is KNOWN to work, have seen the results of and is STRONG as hell: NA 240bhp - 9000rpm rev limit OE 6 Speed Gearbox - Very capable of coping with big power Toyota Liteace Rear Axle - tried and tested upgrade for 250bhp< So I know I have a strong engine, gearbox and axle that I can rev all day long and be happy :) Watch. This. Space. [/QUOTE]
