More likely than not it'll either be a reconditioned or a new OEM unit. I havent seen any oil pumps out there that have been uprated over stock.

Okay - I just explained what was wrong with going out and buying an un-guaranteed JDM engine. I suggest you read what i wrote. Erm - $1500 for machine work? Who the hell has been taking you for a ride? It's no WAY that expensive. Ask other people. Hell, it cost me £180 for all the machine...

Try the Lupo Diesel - 3cylinder and gets 86+mpg :D

Yep - whole engine out to do all that. It's not hard to do, and most people manage it with a friend in a few hours. Erm - if you're going 20 thou oversize, you need the block bored and honed, so that needs to go to a machine shop. Cheap pistons...well i got a set for $84.95 off ebay, and they...

Except that the 1G digidash has higher boost gauge than the 7M's and a higher rev counter - so if you have a tuned 7M you get the full benefit :D

Erm - with that compression? Thats not considered running fine. More than likely you've got a blown water jacket on the gasket - and DONT run it on a BHG, you'll eventually end up getting water into your oil, even the most minute amount of mixing causes problems.

Oh....fair enough then :p

The only cool thing the 1G cars had, was the digidash :)

Were you going to say the same as me then?

a JDM engine doesnt guarantee you ANYTHING and recommending it over a cheaper rebuild is just STUPID. To rebuild your existing engine is cheaper than just buying a new engine. Granted, its an involved job, but plenty of us have either done it or are doing it. If you're doing HG - might as well...

Well the Lexus IS200 used the N/A 1G-FE engine...put the 1G-GTE in that and you'll have fun :) But like others have said, the Mk3 is just too heavy for it.

Oooooh now THAT's what i like! 50-trim ought to do me for the moment...its the least expensive of the lot...here, anyway...

I was thinking of a 50 trim to start off with, see how that'll fare with a lexus AFM and 550's - should be able to get 360hp out of that setup, no?

Well currently i have a K&N Panel Filter for the intake, and the exhaust is an HKS T-16 3", with the HKS Turbo Elbow...and a blitz twin diaphragm dump valve. I state 400 as the maximum goal i really want to hit, but thats a few years down the line. I'm doing an engine rebuild and was thinking...

Heh - not looking for massive power, just quick spool and the ability to push 15psi some day... Wasnt the T28 or the GT28R known as the 'disco potato'?

Heh - most BMW's and Mercs here are diesels too ;) *opens bag of salt, pours on wound*

You know, theres a reason why they say to disconnect the battery when doing electrical stuff..... :nono:

Yeah i left out eh Mad V6 mid engined one....its just off the scale of insanity :)

Still would like to know how the CT26 stacks up against the Garrett squad...and who makes the SP61GT?

Aaah - cheers for that :)
