Mon, 17 January 2005 08:48 The motor is in my TA22, I bought the motor in a car from QLD and got is shipped down here to Vic. Aparently it had been rebuilt about 5000kms (with forged pistons and head work). I swapped the motor into my car along with the Microtech and Bosch fuel pump to avoid any changes that may affect the accuracy of the tuning. It was only running standard boost (7 psi). I only drove it into town and back (about 15kms, and it wasn't an overly hot day). So now I have water in the oil and both in the number 4 cylinder. I'm hoping its just the head gasket, i'm in the process of taking the head off now to find out. I hope its not a cracked head or block. There shouldn't have been a fuel supply problem as I had a full tank (optimax) and a 2 litre surge tank and lift pump. My last 3T-GTE lasted a fair bit longer untill it broke the ring lands on number 4. But they were only standard cast pistons and it was running 12 psi, with wolf 3D computer. If it's anything more than the head gasket I think I'll give up on these motors and fit a SR20DET or a 1UZFE. I had a S14 for a few years and it seemed really reliable.
