Thank you for the replies.
Higher torque for the con rods than the mains.
That was the query.

Could someone please give me the torque settings for the main bearing bolts and the big end bolts. Standard.
I am getting very different results when searching the web.

I have nothing but praise for Steve Biggs at mrinjector. Sorted out my injectors,cleaned them and the fuel rail. Reassembled with all new seals ( including the rail to head insulators which the excuse for an engine builder had replaced with bits cut from an old bit of heater hose, more later) and re...

Assuming 8.8 what would be maximum safe boost?

Thanks for the reply. I figured that would be the case. Can you guess at the possible compression ratio given std other components? We will measure accurately later this week.

Will rev 2 (us l4 turbocharged ) pistons fit ok in a rev3 torbo?

I won't know size until tomorrow. Will post exactly then.

I need a set of pistons for my 1995 rev 3 turbo.
Can anyone suggest a good supplier?

My rev 3 turbo has started to idle at about 1300rpm.
Can anyone suggest possible cause?

Can anyone tell me what sort of job replacing the exhaust manifold gasket is on a rev 3 turbo?
I bet it's not much fun!

Thanks for that. I have put yokohama 225/45 R16 on these wheels for trackdays.They should fit if yours do. I have found these longer studs

What wheel nuts do you use?

Just spotted that all four wheels are 16x8j offset 50.

I am wanting to fit a set of mk4 supra 16 wheels to my rev 3 turbo.
Does anyone use these? any idea of spacers needed/

I have now been told that the pistons have been machined to give the original compression ratio. Maybe I should use a standard toyota head gasket. Or would it be advisable to go for a thicker one?
I will take measurements when the head is off anyway.

Uk websites are selling pistons for the 3sgte at 9:1

I see. Basically it means I have the wrong pistons.
Any suggestions as to what I should do If I can't face replacing them at this point? Could the setup I have be the cause of the last two engine failures? I suspect a cracked block. It now has a good rev2 block.

Why ever would JE produce pistons for this engine which gave a 9-1 cr ?

Thanks for the input guys. I assume that to get the cr down to 8-1 would require a thick gasket and from reading other threads it seems that can cause other problems. I will take measurements when the head is off but the guy who is doing the head change wants to turn it around quickly once he starts...

What piston to head clearance have you designed the engine for? The engine is as I bought it. All this is guess work. I will attempt to measure the clearance when the head is off. Meanwhile I am trying to get an idea of what gasket will be safe. I havn't been able to find a single supplier who seem...

Looks like they only make them in .6 or 1.0 mm.
