I didnt know u could take that line??? :P See ya Jimi

Not sure atm got to get her running :P But soon See ya Jimi

Well alot has happend since last :P Pulled the motor right down, gave the bores a clean up and then chucked some new rings and bearings through it :P Pistons are in and the motor turns over nice, the cam is in and waiting to get dialed in. I have been playing with head atm like porting, so i practiced on a old head to get the feel of how soft the heads are and to see what the air grinder did :P A work mate was over my shoulder making sure i was doing it right, the idea is to match the port to the webber manifold so then we ram force the air in :D Old skool trick and should give me some extra kick ;) So I'm doing the head ill be using atm and its going good :D Just need to do a little more and clean it up but smooth it also The engine is coming along good, dad did the oil pump mod that we found on here and I'm looking at getting the sump baffled this weekend so i don't have to worry about that side of it ;) The flywheel has been sent of and is getting lightened and machined :D Clutch will be here soon. I have almost all the parts so i can put the motor back in :D Then alot of work to make it run and all neat.. More updates and pics to come :D See ya Jimi

Ill be there :D No race car tho :( But will come up to take pics and that ;) See ya Jimi

Thats ok mate :) Gald u like the pic ;) See ya Jimi

Hahahhaah maybe i did measure it wrong or add it wrong lol idk even so that a huge amount :P Hahhaa na trust me ive been told this cam will be fine and will give me what i want!! Plus the webbers will make it sound so SWEET!!!!! Na 4:1's FTW!!!! Hahaha Ill just drive it and then see if i need to change ratios and all that jazz, dad said it can't cost more then $500 when i get stuff ;) So some homemade stuff and good knowledge will be needed ;) See ya Jimi

hahahah fair enough :P See ya Jimi

Ok so ive done some more research and found some cool shit out, my cam has diff specs as to the camtech ones. My cam is actually bigger then that lol... I did some measurements myself to figure out how much more lift I'm getting .... Standard cam.. Base circle+Lobe lift - Base Circle Exhaust- 36.34-30.52= 5.82mm Intake - 36.50-30.90=5.6mm 609 cam.... Exhaust- 34.02-21.96=12.06mm Intake- 33.26-21.02=12.24mm So that means I'm getting and extra 7mm lift!!!! Thats huge plus also my base circle is also bigger which means it is open for longer. The duration is also diff which will help ;) I have a spec sheet here..... So this cam is going to be huge!!! Should give me a nice lump at idle with the webbers ;) I also got another head of a mate, He said it had double valve springs and was just collecting dust. So i jumped onto it and got it for a steal :D Has been sitting outside for a little but is not that bad, it also has already been ported abit :P It was on a 5k block with a turbo, he tried to run 25psi then blew it up lol Turns out he blew a hole in the piston so it was to be stripped and inspected for cracks etc.... So dad got a valve compressing tool so we could pull the valves out of the standard head and my new one :P So i have never removed valves from a head so dad showed me how to do the first one and i was off ;) Pulled all the valves out and bagged and tagged each valve and then put each head in diff boxes :) So i had a good look over the new head and its not looking so good :/ There must have been some water in the head at some stage while sitting around... The seats look a bit far gone but they might be able to be cleaned up??? Idk might get it blasted and pressure tested just to make sure, also the head is alot thinner then the standard head so it has had some work done to it sometime ago... Here is a pic of the seat in the standard head looks much cleaner and not rusted :P Here is what i really wanted off the head :D The double valve springs :P This should help when i rev it now :D Also got the metal filler out and filled some of the holes in the block, will let it set over night and give it a sand tomoz. If it still needs some will just add another layer till I'm happy :) Also my gasket kit arrived, water pump to come and a new heavy duty clutch is on its way as well :D Just need to send flywheel out to get machined and get it lightened ;) More updates to come.... See ya Jimi

Hahaha dw mate ull do a 2jz conversion soon ;) See ya Jimi

Second that!!! we use them at work and they are a loud of crap to be honest!! don't do a thing. Adam is right if u take them out then send it somewhere thats much better Hope u can figure it out mate See ya jimi

HNNNNNNNG!!!! Shit yeah :D Should be lumpy as!!!! <3 I will check to make sure its still at them specs but Dam this thing will hoot!!! See ya Jimi

Well it had been rebuilt then sat in a paddock for 2 years :P So a clean and they will be right ;) Oh ok thanks :) i think dad was looking somewhere so ill try it out :D See ya Jimi

Ok so alot has happend, Boxing day the motor came out and was chucked on an engine stand A few days after i pulled the motor apart, wanted to know if it def did a head gasket or not. So whipped the motor apart down to block and..... Hmmmmm yeah i sure did blow it :P ahahah So a gasket kit was a must!! Water pump was not to bad but will be replaced as ive got it apart so why not, Clutch was ok but same thing while its out might as well hahah After a close inspection and a chat to a mate we found some slight holes in the block itself around where the gasket ring goes, prob why it blew the gasket. So should be able to fill with some metal fill and get away with that i think, also the head is still good so will just clean and give it a port match for the webbers ;) While the block is on a stand i will also pull the crank and pistons out to give the block a good clean! Make sure everything is spotless for when i put it back together :) Also dad found a cam in the shed for it ;) it is marked with 609 on the rear??? Does anyone know what that means?? Hopefully the Motor will be back together and running soon :D Updates to come See ya Jimi These are the spots i will need to fill between 2 and 3 Any specs???

Theres one on gumtree!! But wants 3k :/ See ya Jimi

Bahahahhah lol come on its a rolla it can't be that bad ;) See ya Jimi

The mighty trolla now has a facebook page :P Hahahahahha https://www.facebook.com/TheMightyTrolla See ya Jimi

Hahahha well yes there are some plans and money to go into it ;) Will put me a diff class but I'm happy ;) See ya Jimi

yeah cogs was great :) didnt do the sunday as i went to bendigo :P Oh yeah i hope to do alot more stuff around vic and get some more tracks under the belt ;) See ya Jimi

Ok so the racing season is over for me :) What a year it was, had so much fun in the mighty trolla :P Have done a lot of events, Cogs carnival at ballarat, Autocross and motorkhana at geelong and Geelong revival Cogs carnival was a top day :) Went awesome and had some fun, Got 7th outright and first rwd in motorkhana and got in top 20 in khanacross from mem :P not bad i reckon The autocross and motorkhana at geelong are like normal for me just go hard and finish in a good place most days ;) But the motorkhana i picked my game up and got 4th outright!!! The only cars to beat me where minis and only by a little ;) So not a bad day out i reckon I was lucky enough to be at the Geelong Revival last weekend, the car was on display as part of my club and to promote motorsport to the youth. So i gave her a quick wash and slapped some new stickers on and bobs ur uncle she came up overrated ;) I did have some problems on the sunday morn driving to the event, she wasnt right :( was stuggling to get up hills etc, so made it to the event and was busy all day taking pics :P Got to the end of the day, started driving home and she got worse!!! So limped home and striaght away got the compression gauge out and checked all cylinders, found out number 2 and 3 only had 20psi!!! Hahahahha yeah that explains it lol So i had a laugh as it was only running on 2 cylinders ;) The old toyotas never die!!!! I'm thinking and hoping its only a head gasket but u never know, the funny bit was that i was going to rebuild the motor after christmas anyway :P So will give me some experience as ive never rebuilt a motor, and give me a chance to do some other mods dad had in mind ;) So a complete motor rebuild is in order, diff will get some loving, oils will get replaced all round, coolant system a good flush, hyrdo to be installed, and some other bits and pieces as i think of them :P Will try and update this as i can ;) Hope to come back bigger and better next year!!!! See ya Jimi Oh here are some pics ;) Autocross :) Cogs Carnival action ;) Motorkhana Ladies love the rolla ;)
