Did you apply RTV to the two spots at the front of the block before you put the head gasket down?

Am I missing something or is there no oil leak lol. EDIT NVM, reading might help.

I haven't forgotten about you man, my camera is dead and I can't find the charger for the life of me. Sorry its takin forever once I find the charger I will get these pics. This bugged me too. The upper 3000 pipe is not bent properly, it is slightly off. If you mess with it enough you can get...

FINALLY got the block re honed for .040" Wiseco pistons. Rings all filed, pistons fully assembled on rods. Crank needs to be cleaned thoroughly, then will be plastigauging to double check clearances, then the bottom end will be together this weekend, possibly install the head this weekend as well.

Lol no worries man I will take some pics for you sometime after tomorrow (finals week). Don't pay me anything or I will send it right back :p

From top to bottom in the driftmotion pic Pipe from turbo outlet to bottom (strait) intercooler inlet (the small reducing coupler goes on the turbo outlet, 90 degree goes to strait intercooler inlet) Pipe that replaces the 3000 pipe to throttle body (large reducing coupler to throttle body) Pipe...

Thanks IJ that's what I will do then. I'm going to try to borrow a ring filer, that top chrome ring is HARD.

I have the second one you listed there. Its a little bit of a pita to fit the couplers onto the intercooler, you will see what I mean when you do it, but you don't have to cut or remove the hatch brace which is nice, it fits right up in front of it. The overflow bottle is a tight fit and you...

Ok sounds good then, I wont worry myself over it. Do I need to match the top ring by opening it up, or should I be fine filing the top just to .013"-.014"?

Yeah the piston kit directly from Wiseco came with pistons, pins, pin circlips, rings and spec sheet/warranty info.

Makes sense. Ive got another question about my ring gaps. I used your formula IJ that I found when searching (.004" per inch of bore for top ring, .005 for bottom). The target ring gaps for me would be about .013" top and .017 bottom. Measured ring gap out of the box is .011" top and .023"...

Just finished putting all of them together, so its hard to see the end of the pin, but there looks to be a small chamfer on the ends of the pin. They should be the correct groove since these locks came with the piston kit. Edit just looked at my other set and yes there is a chamfer on the pins.

Thanks IJ. Hope these ones don't pop out on me :D

Nice work man! Post pics of everything on the motor.

Just want to be 100% sure I am installing these right. I havent been able to find any detailed install instructions for these, but from what I read around the net is to put the opening in the lock about 90 deg from the slot in the piston. Is this correct? One of my OEM pistons I pulled out of my...

The exhaust manifold gasket is one of the gaskets you will want to buy from Toyota. Much higher quality.

Cruise Control can be mounted horizontal or vertical :D

I have the Turbosmart Eboost Street with the feature Brad was referring to with my 57 trim ct26, and it actually works fairly well. I used to spike and drop 3 or 4 psi by redline, but with this boost controller it still spikes a little but holds boost all the way to redline.

Check out the Ishino / Stone gasket sets. They are very good quality and affordable. You can get the head set for about $170...
