16-11-2018, 05:53 AM #4I thought they were the same? Don't you get the lower compression by using the 1GGTE head?

16-11-2018, 05:57 AM #5Might well be the head but I think the it was the pistons and they can handle great boost because If you use standard internals then you can only run 0.4 boost safely
Edit: grammar.

16-11-2018, 06:13 AM #7Ok if not to do with low compression then yeah I agree they are forged and beefier so can take more boost off a turbo surely the crank in 1gfe is forged meaning made from one piece
Drop me a pm if interested .....
I still have a 1g-fe fully forged bottom end here that needs a good home would save you on the labour cost to have the bottom rebuilt as you can just drop it in
Drop me a pm if interested .....
