hi folks,
M.W.P.: | Quote: |
Good luck with the MS... are you going to EFI the 18R, or use it on somthing else?
|
i want to get the 18R running EFI (and hopefully MJL or MJLJ for ignition) before it snuffs it. Then after that it's the 1G-GTE - probably with a manual as the auto needs the toyo ECU?
THE WITZL: when i built the motor i actually went thru three engines from the wreckers to find a good one, 1 had rust between pistons/bore, 2 which was under cover and had intact plugs/head/manifolds had water in bores - so it's possible that the head came from an older 18R. I vaguely recall the engine builder saying that i should consider hardened seats but that was a few years ago.
SlatemazZ (jarrod): i've found one rattle source tonight - hand-made heat-shield between manifold and carbi - but yep, been over every bolt i can get a socket to. 
earlyrolla: changed oil about 200k ago - was v.black but no shiney stuff at bottom of collection pan. Note: have used HPR40 for last two changes, prior to that it mobil S1. I got the whole bottom end (pistons thru to clutch) balanced during rebuilding - tho it's never been super smooth - but i put that down to the inordinate amount of power it now produces and a worn-out-never-reconditioned gearbox 
simulant (alan): yep - something in the head is looking like a culprit. i hadn't thought about the guides. You can read more about the turbo on the site in my sig - but in a nutshell:
- kit from Mike Vine turbochargers (was built for a non-payer)
- uses 175CD zenith suck-thru carb
- way too much time/money (see the budget part of the site) 
- go EFI - might cost more, but even modded carb/ign can't deal with boost properly - unless you either run it detuned (like me) or with some kind of expensive pinging/detonation control (water+methanol inj). I wish i had gone 18RG, then access to all kinds of EFI+IGN would be open to me. oh well... it was choice between the turbo, and a tired but straight RA23+18RG which i stumbled over about 2 weeks after buying the kit.
- if you want up-close-and-personal i'm in kenmore, brisvegas - PM me.
regards,
thechuckster
