how much would you be wanting for this rev 3 cam? im guessing its the inlet one.

that was done with....

car warmed up
all spark plugs out
king lead disconected
efi fuse pulled
throttle wide open
engine turned over 8-10 times.

also tryed it again after poring some oil in the bores and leaving it for a few mins.

same results.

a quick update.. ive done a compresion test today and all the cylinders are down quite a bit

120
120
115
115

after reading several threads, im sure i did the test properly.

soooo... its looking like rev3 cams are the way to go. they should drop right in without any setting up.

and a better manifold wouldnt go a miss either.

cant see either things in the sale section or ebay....

any ideas what i should be paying for these things?

so to sum this up so far..... marty .. you think under 500bhp im wasting my time jj you think cam upgrades are good at any level of bhp jim , you think an exhaust cam upgrade would be the way forward luke. you think the opposite .. that an inlet cam is the way to go this is exactly the problem ive f...

id agree totally lewis at my present power goals..... but i cant help thinking. if im gonna have to rebuild the top end ... why not do it properly. and in the future if i do decide to go forged bottom end and bigger turbo, then the top end will be ready for it. hence why im also thinking of upgradin...

happy days.... another years motoring.

its looking like i may have to do my hg. so while its off i was thinking maybe upgrade the cams.

but then im thinking is it worth it on a ct20 turbo?

possibilities are....

stick with my cams ( rev1 )
stick in rev 3 cams (if i can find some cheap)
stick in some hks/piper etc 264's

your thoughts?

cheers lewis. if it is hg i was thinking steel hg not sure which one yet... im busy reading a lot of things about hg ( cometic , apexi , etc ) and im thinking rev 3 is good enough unless someone can say otherwise.. what i cant decide on is bolts.... standard are about £30 or i can get arp for £80 is...

thanks jj. im gonna do a compresion test first before i do anything else. depending on what that says i'll order a new thermostat. i deffo cant see any leaks around anywhere, and it holds temp and not loose water for weeks of driving. its just when i switch to high boost that it goes nuts. hence me ...

ok , so theres the how... now why?

just fitted an ebc in place of mbc (running at 1.1bar) the ebc wont hit anything more than 0.8 bar. even after playing with the boost settings and gain control. after a few hard runs on high boost, the temp gauge goes through the roof and it blows all the coolant out the overflow bottle in a cloud o...

cheers mate.

and incase anyone hasnt spotted it. there is a small gap at the bottom of it. between the tray and the heater switches. im not bothered cos it looks far better than it did, but its still a gap. which not everyone will like. i can post a pic up on my next day off in the light if anyone cant see it cl...

ok guys it arrived today. and i went straight to work fitting it. altho it was dark. it comes in a bit of a kit, its universal for most toyotas, and instructions arent exactly correct. :clap: so heres what you do..... first of all you have to built it up. ( it clips together ) remove the bit of dash...

no probs.

and the skirts are kei office copies.

remove the vent cut the bits out you dont like repaire with fibre glass sheet and resin maybe some p45 on top so its easier to sand sand to the design you want smooth down with wet and dry paint them. ( i sent them to a bodyshop at this point cos im rubbish at spraying ) refit and hey presto. http:/...

32 quid????
