I decided that I needed to get new engine internals, certainly rods at the minimum. There are several aftermarket options available, but they're all very expensive.
Instead, I managed to source a used 1G-GTE engine (same one as Stav has in his car) from a Mark III Supra for the bargain price of £200 ! :thumbup:
I plan to use the internals from this engine in my own engine (1G-FE), probably just the rods and the pistons too.
I feel that this will give me a margin of safety, and I won't need to worry about my internals being close to the limit.

02-08-2016, 10:15 PM #42Given the power I'm aiming at, I could probably stay on the standard engine internals. So this next set of items is probably in the "optional" rather than "essential" category. However, again my decision was based more on my aims for reliability, and not taking chances with this car (given it's my daily driver).

I picked the JUN lightweight flywheel not because of its lightweight nature, but because it's a lot cheaper than the Lexus OEM dual-mass flywheel, and hopefully it's less likely to judder (and being a solid flywheel should be able to be skimmed if it does develop a problem).
Check out the amusingly-badly-translated English description on the box ...

03-08-2016, 04:14 AM #44JUN lightweight flywheel. Again definitely not essential for this sort of conversion. Why have I got one ? A couple of reasons really. The main one is that I get juddering from my clutch/flywheel, so I thought that given my engine is coming out anyway (for new internals), I might as well change the clutch/flywheel at the same time to try and fix the juddering. Also, although the OEM clutch would almost certainly be fine with the bhp I'm aiming for, given that I have no idea of its age (probably the original one), more power might hasten its demise.

steviewevie Turbo manifold from SPC Horsham (a work of art IMHO). The flang(e) (sorry, the swear filter thinks that's a naughty word lol) is for a GT30 turbo, so either an adapter or a new flang(e) will need to accomodate the GT2560R (probably will be an adapter) :

My engines nuts and bolts require more torque than your car produces

dimis Did you get the innovate lc-1 from UK or USA?
I shopped around and compared prices. I was going to get it from the USA, but in the end I found I could get it for only slightly more from the UK, from Graham Goode Racing, and then at least I knew I couldn't get hit with custom fees etc. Also if there was any problem it would be easier to send back.
