hi henrick,

there are no steel headgaskets made for 18RC.

If you run excessive boost, you'll probably destroy the pistons.

i am really new on toyotas and don't know what engine types all of you guys are talking about. I suppose that the are quite expensive. 18RGEU? in what model is that engine, and the GTE and the 22RTE.

find out about all kinds of toyota engines here:

it's a bookmark everyone should have.

As for expensive, it depends on how hard they are to find. These are engines that are geting on in age so you'll only find them in wrecking yards - most will be tired and in need of some kind of rebuilding,

the GTE is codes used to describe what the block has attached to it:
G-twin cam
T - turbo
E- EFI

what if i lock the ignition in one place? whould that work to boost a bit more? is it the ignition that limits the boost? I'm going to pressurise two Stromberg CD175 carbs.

a locked dizzi might prevent excessive ignition advance when on boost - in effect limiting boost. Proper boost control is done with wastegates.

i still think you should be trying to find an EFI engine and starting from there.

cheers,
Charles.
