    What were the turbine AR on the old turbo vs new? Ive been told Ex back pressure is a real issue leading to EX valve float.. looking at a 6758 with a .63 for a 2L auto beams build.

    • @hawes_power5590
      @hawes_power5590 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      they were both the same at .82, but the 7163 has a bigger wheel. I think the 6758 is the perfect turbo for a 2l if you want good response and 450whp. I would go up to a .82 twin scroll housing and use a good set of valve springs.

    What conrod bearings did you use and what was the clearance? I am assembling a 3S beams block using ACL 4B8366H-STD bearings which gives conrod clearance of 0.0025", the STD spec is 0.0009 - 0.0022", is my clearance too large? When i measure the clearance using the original toyota bearings i get 0.0015".

    • @hawes_power5590
      @hawes_power5590 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I used factory 5S bearings, and my engine builder set the clearance to 0.0025" which he recommened for a race car (slightly looser than factory). I would consult with an engine builder but it sounds like your clearance is the same as mine and should work nicely

    Do you do any injector cleaning? Might want to invest in an injector cleaning machine and clean every so often. E85 and old gas combo totally gunked up my Injector Dynamic 2000cc injectors and fuel system. I am going to do it as regular maintenance now. I had white yellow hardened gunk. Your dyno might have gained more HP if you did that. I'd even check your FPR diaphragm. I have a high boost 5th gen and its something you might want to look into. I found out by oil analysis and then it got progressively worse. As for the head damage maybe don't rev as high?

    • @hawes_power5590
      @hawes_power5590 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      i wouldnt usually clean the injectors unless there was a problem. the fuel wasnt that old. the fuel we use is pretty much 95 octane with an additive to add octane. this additive is known to desolve after a few months, effectivly making it 95 octane (equivalent to 91 in the USA). what amkes you say the diapram. i log the fuel pressure and it was rock solid... I rev it less than the factory beams engine, i went over the reasons for failure in the video.

    • @clairebear5029
      @clairebear5029 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      My fuel pressure was good too. Now im overhauling my whole fuel setup due to a cracked FPR diaphragm (e85) residue on it and an injector that I suspect was dripping and got worse over time. Backwards benched cleaned and blew a piece of junk out which I suspect was from not running a 5 micron filter. Just saying if you race it and take it apart you should at least check your fuel system while its apart. I didn't know till I had Blackstone Labs told me in oil analysis.

    I am currently running an unbuilt Manual Blacktop Beams in my MR2 (only full swap I'm aware of in an MR2). I will build it now that I am confident I got the swap in there correctly. I was considering using the 5S block for a big power build when I realized the blacktop block was made in the same generation as the coveted 98+ 5S block so casting material would be of similar quality. When i compared the two blocks side by side, I wasn't able to see why the 5S block would hold up any better than the Blacktop block. Having said that, I didn't do any sonic testing or any other in depth analysis comparing the two blocks. In my opinion sticking with the blacktop block may be a more straightforward build for anyone considering running the blacktop head. Either way I love the 5S + Blacktop combo idea and am very interested. Cudos for taking on this project and for sharing!

    I would be keen on a set for my St165 and for my st246... Can we buy the pre cut plates from you.... Or you should look at getting a short run of these made... This will save alot of Celica and Caldina owners lots of hassles👍👍👍... Probably most of GtFour owners club NZ will buy them... Probably a lot of overseas interest as well

      They will be up for sale at some point, potentially as both a steel fabricated component but definitely as a billet alluminum item. I can almost guarantee that no one in NZ will buy one haha. i have sold many LSDs and control arms over the years they 100% all go overseas.

    How does shortening the steering arm effect the steering? Can you feel the difference on the wheel? Looks like a shorter arm with less leverage on the Prius. That's why i ask. nevermind!

      it will quicken up the steering which is good, but make it heavier. It also adds some bump steer
