OK sure battery seems fine then. Get a helper monkey to twist the dizzy slightly while you crank it. And pray the metal tapping sound is nothing!

 

Good luck man, this looks like an excellent set up. We're rooting for you!

Sounds like me trying to get laid when I'm drunk.

Can anyone recommend a mechanic Brisbane area who would know about and could work on these kind of setups?

What about the guy who tuned your carbies?

for personal reasons not going back.

 

thinking an old brittish car specialist or something as SU carb, but if anyone knows anyone good please do tell.. as i am at my wits end!!

Right guys i got it going! the car lives!!!

 

so it was a number of things that was causing the issue but mostly it was the carby, after a full rebuild was running 100% better, then got a mild tune into it and now its running sweet.

 

thank you so much for the patience, advice and knowledge you guys gave me! ill post a video up of the motor running into this thread shortly so we an all reap the rewards!

Good to hear ya got it sorted.

Video would be good to see!

Do a skid.

OK guys..

here is a video of the little beast running --->

 

drove it home from the tuners, was soo cool surprisingly responsive and when that boost comes on :o sooo goood!

 

​unfortunately i never got around to changing the head gasket and putting two on so i literally obliterated the gasket like litres of coolant pumping out the exhaust but didn't even get close to over heating so i have strong faith everything is fine and a new couple of gaskets is all it will need.

 

its just so so cool now!

You shouldn't need 2 head gaskets. I've run over 20 psi on a stocko 4k and not blown one. If you're blowing them it means your timing need some looking at. What have you done in the way of timing?

as far as timing goes I'm running 10' left of TDC.. what kind of gasket were you using? and got any advice? :D

So pretty much completely stock timing?

That was just a Permaseal cheapy then, always use genuine Toyota now.

ok so leave it at 10' advance and use a single toyota genuine? too easy bud! where can i source genuine yota HG's from?
