Hi it was the red one from sunnybank :)
Thanks for the reply, I have considered this option. According to the seller his mechanic said it was due to 'overheating'. Which has me questioning is the head fried as well. I did turn it over and can pretty much be certain that the crank would need work.. Sounded ready to throw a rod.
I'm wondering if I grab any import big port engine, can I just bolt the TVIS intake straight on and only be fiddling with a few vac hoses and loom plugs?
Also while I'm here. I have an 1st gen apexi S-AFC from an ep82 starlet. Is this worth pursuing for better fuel economy and a bit of extra kick on 98 when I get a pod filter sorted and play with timing?
