All sorted now! Just bent the squriter jets round a few mm so they clear the webs! Got about 2mm clearance now! Thanks for the replies!

:-s Apparently these look like a new design! JE offers 2 different types of skirt designs. Full Round, and FSR. This is the newer FSR (Forged Side Relief) skirt style. JE is slowly transitioning all of their applications over to this superior design. The FSR forging allows unmatched strength while s...

Interesting- I've not seen that design of skirt before... You may need to modify your oil squirters slightly to accomodate the pistons, it looks like you've got room to rotate the nozzle round a bit and create some clearance :-k :thumleft: This was what i was thinking and seems to be the way most o...

Correct.

But as i and Ash have asked, have you got cutouts in the pistons?

No but its not hitting the skirt?

:thumleft: Ok heres some pictures. http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w66/fishface31a/MR2%20engine%20build/th_IMG_0495_zpsc392529f.jpg http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w66/fishface31a/MR2%20engine%20build/th_IMG_0494_zpsaac6d31f.jpg This shows the nozzle in relation to the piston. Its hitting the ...

Im just uploading some pictures! Ten minutes!

Peter Gidden - SBITS wrote:All the 3S-GTE forged pistons i've seen (and i've seen a lot of them!), have a cut out for the squirter.

Have you got them in the right way round?

I have the largest cut outs in the crown on the left as you look at it from the cambelt end which i assume is right Peter?

:( Just building up a Rev2 turbo with forged rods and pistons. Put the first piston in and the strengthening web in the piston is hitting the oil squirter jet just before BDC! The pistons are JE ones. Has anybody else had any problems with these? It seems very common with Wiseco pistons judging by t...

:thumleft: So which pump would you advise to use? I picked up the top end today so ive got the head and cams with pulleys, cam cover, inlet manifold and throttle body, hardpipes, water pump and thermostat housing, water pipes, water outlet tree, cam belt covers, injectors and fuel rail, fuel pump re...

:( The insurance is covered but obviously we arent going to be able to replace the wheels as ive never seen another set! Its not about the money we just want the wheels back and the scumbags that broke in to get their just deserts! JAM-Sport are bending over backwards to get it sorted whereas a lot ...

Cheers again for the replies! Is the Rev3 oil pump better or worse in your opinions? I was planning on changing both oil and water pumps anyway!

STOLEN! 4x Enkei EV5 wheels in bronze. Two 17” x 8” with Toyo T1-R 215/40/17 tyres, two 17” x 9” with Toyo T1-R 235/40/17 tyres. These are dual PCD 5x114.3 and 5x108 and are very rare! 2x Cobra Daytona reclining seats in Blue but quite faded. 2x Sparco 3” 5 point racing harness in red with blue rele...

Cheers guys! Any more tips?

I don't think that a rev 3 pump fits a rev 2 block. There probably isn't much point in making one fit either. The bottom end determines the belt you need. I fell foul of forum speak and bought a rev 3 belt, lost some cash on that ;) Also, idler pulleys and tensioner bolt need to be from a rev 2 ass...

From experience, it's a rev 2 belt you need. I have pics of the rev 3 belt not fitting. Cams on rev 2 and 3 have the same number of teeth, the difference is on the water pump where the rev 2 has one more tooth. That makes the rev 3 belt one tooth too short. :thumleft: Thats good info! Not heard tha...

:D Ok thats confused me lol! Thanks for the replies though! The gearbox is staying but i wondered if the Rev3 picked up any signals from the speedo cluster that wouldnt be there with the mechanical speedo? We will be fitting the full rev3 top end including the fuel rail and injectors so no problems ...

:thumleft: Hi all. Sorry i know youve probably seen this question a hundred times before but i have spent half the day trawling the forums and am still confused so wondered if somebody could answer a few questions please? We have a Rev1 turbo which was running with a CT20B, Cometic head gasket, deca...

Im going to take jus the carrier off and check the fitment! Im also goin to check it has rev2+ brake calipers on the rear, although it is a rev2 so dont see why not? Failing that im thinking of sanding 1mm of each rear pad using a flat block and some 80 gritt paper! If the disks are 2mm thicker tha...

Hi Steve! We are hoping to get up to this with both the Focus ST and the MR2 but wont know for sure for a couple of weeks due to having to do the headgasket on the MR2! Do we get an extra discount for 2 cars lol!

All the bits arrived as promised Tuesday morning and are really well machined and finished! Just got to sort the discs out and ill get them on and do a write up! Many thanks to Ant for sorting it all out!
