    Probe pistons (Will I be messed up?)

    to adam: one piston was 328 grams two are 326 and 3 others are 324 iirc BTW, all 6 eagle rods have the same weight. And probe+eagle assembly weights almost 200 grams lighter than stock.

    Probe pistons (Will I be messed up?)

    to figgie: I see, okay. I'm trying to be polite most part of time, but that problem really driving me mad... You can't just go and buy anything for MK3 here, you have to wait for weeks (4 or even more)... And all parts become +30% at least in price... Now I think you understand me...

    Probe pistons (Will I be messed up?)

    I'll send PM to Aaron right now, but I want some other technical experts to post their opinions too... If that pistons don't look good enough to handle 600+ rwhp, I won't use them. I was running 1.6bar of boost on stock pistons and they were holding but It didn't feel reliable... So the whole...

    Probe pistons (Will I be messed up?)

    couple more photos... What do we see? 5 of 6 pistons (on the right) have deeper slots at intake side (like they should) but look at them from the bottom. There are _less_ material under them! So exhaust side (with small slot) has thicker crown and intake side (deeper slots) has thinner. Is it...

    Probe pistons (Will I be messed up?)

    Why don't post here? Let everyone know quality of products they buy. And if you mean contacting probe industries - it's not an option. I can't speak English, only write (so can't call them). PS: I'm uploading some more photos... found more errors...

    Probe pistons (Will I be messed up?)

    I don't care if it's common or not. I was waiting that pistons more than month. I bought them not from ebay, but from authorised vendor. I bought them not because they're cheap but because they were designed for 7M (not just copied from stock). And what should I do now? I can't rebore block...

    Probe pistons (Will I be messed up?)

    yes, guys, I'm fucked. Piston pin has offset and piston can't be just rotated 180*. Aaron, wouldn't you send me +1mm probe piston? As soon as possible of course... directly to russia, using something express like DHL? PS: I can't install it just like it is cause even stock valves will hit...

    Probe pistons (Will I be messed up?)

    Hi guys. I'm in process of rebuilding my 7MGTE using probe +1mm pistons (purchased @ driftmotion). Okay, I was grinding off sharp edges and found that one piston in set has wrong "front" mark (or slots for valves). See attached photo. The question is: is it okay to install that piston...

    7mgte raising compression questions?

    Hey guys. Look at most aftermarket forget pistons specs. They're _rising_ CR. The only pistons _lowering_ CR a bit I've seen are probes. PS: Gabon, don't tell me about russian rulette, please ;) I deal with it every moment cause I'm in Ru.

    Stall or NOS ?

    to SlowSupra: I had to cut and weld tunnel. Bellhousing is much bigger than R154. to gilberjj: I have to decide right now, because if I'll wait till good roads and then buy something, it will arrive just before season ends (see my location). So, is it safe to hit NOS at that low RPMs...

    Stall or NOS ?

    Hi guys. I've just swapped TH350 in my MKIII. Haven't driven it much yet, but already have one question.. Here is situation: Wet road, winter tires, step on the brake, step on the gas.. 3000RPM - car stands. 3200RPMs - car begins to spin tires.. Well, 3200 is 600-700RPMs less than my turbo...

    Bryan, actually transbrake development is in progress now. Most reputable russian toyota trans builder (Harvest) is doing it. He has 2JZ-GTE toyota soarer that runs 10.xx on built 340 auto (unprepped track). I was considering buying built A340 from him, but got th350 kit instead from member...

    hey a little tech question about cams???

    If you have stock turbo and not rev engine past 5500 - put NA intake cam. It'll improve power and torque a little.

    stock head and GM tranny question in one

    1) Sean X-Man dinoyed 753RWHP with stock head using GT42 turbo 2) TH350 has zero electronics in it. If you want to stay A340, you can use aftermarket tranny computer (suprastick e.g.)
