Don't want to rain on your parade Wilbo, but I'm hopeful we won't have to see another thread like Evil_Foetus's where the leading 5M experts answer all the 5M-TE questions and provide knowledge/parts/help only for the whole exercise to end in "I'm buying a drumkit, thanks anyway" Confused

While I appreciate you comments lumpy, I have in the past, and continue to do a lot of research on this topic (note how I knew who the M series junkies were.... Cool

)

...it's not to fart-arse around finding all this stuff for a motor that prob needs rebuilding anyway.

I rebuilt the motor about 25000k's ago, so it's quite healthy (compression check also confirms this). Also would the knowledge that I have located a complete M-TEU (with car still attached) and am only waiting to pickup said vehicle help you with your 'finding all this stuff' comment Cool

MS-75 will be able to tell you big power can be got from these engines. It's just that it's not a very worthwhile exercise in light of the 7m/1j/2j availability these days.

agreed, his motor was very impressive, but noting that my plan was budget related, I don't really think that custom venolia pistons and O-riging were quite what I had in mind in my comparison.... Laughing

If it was that easy.... try lots of time, and lots of money, and lots of hassle finding parts. Horsepower isn't cheap

Again, does knowing that I have located a complete M-TEU for the right price does you view change?

Quote:

Well, it's your time and money you are spending. That's not to say I wouldn't do exactly the same thing in your shoes, it's just not the sensible thing Cool

Indeed, if the stock turbo on the motor seems to be in ok condition, I might proceed further, if not I'm pretty sure that I'll turn out to be a pointless effort. My plan wasn't initially to make a 5M-TE, but when all the parts presented themselves in a pretty package I couldn't help myself at least thinking about the idea Smile

Cheers
Wilbo
