farrell3k Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 http://www.scribd.com/doc/32994691/TRD-K-Engine-Manual any help? Thanks for that I had managed to get a copy but I am sure others will be interested Accepting the fact that getting the listed TRD parts is not going to happen, it still has some interesting bits of information to consider in building up a race 3K Probably not the only way to go about it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontarolla Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 is there any pages missing out of the link I posted? bit of custom work and you could probably build some thing better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's a couple of different ones (blue, yellow etc) Sorry for unrelated post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farrell3k Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 is there any pages missing out of the link I posted? bit of custom work and you could probably build some thing better? Your link is complete and all pages are there Potentially, with modern custom compenents a better engine is possible. What I am hoping to achieve though is to run a middle course with the use of some standard and more readily available components so it does not cost a fortune. eg some years ago I built up a 3K using Hepolite 60 thou oversize 78.5 mm Norton 850 motorcycle pistons and it had good power - they are still available but I am going through the exercise of seeing what other pistons would suit before considering custom forged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tojo2 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) do you remember pin height and pin diameter of stock norton 850 pistons? Edited March 22, 2012 by tojo2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farrell3k Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 do you remember pin height and pin diameter of stock norton 850 pistons? All I remember is that I was using (balanced and shot peened) standard rods and I think they were rebushed to take the pin. Also, I skimmed the block a little to give the higher compression and had valve pockets machined into the pistons Looking on the web I have found a reference to Norton 850 pistons and it says the pin diameter is 17.45mm and a compression height of 37.5mm so that fits with what I remember. Interestingly that is a UK site selling JP Pistons made here in Adelaide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw some 850 pistons with 18mm pins but they were meant for carillo rods.. expensive stuff sounds like theyre a bit high as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
