I was also planning on removing the engine for clutch, cams and timing belt and was considering if I should go that step further as well. When stripping the motor I also noted that the timing belt was starting to brake up after 117km

Maybe someone else can recommend what sort of power a good condition gen3 could make. It wasn't from the power that damaged this engine

Thanks for the info mate, mine's actually a Gen 2 though.
When you say the power didn't do the damage, do you mean that the tuning was simply too careless and therefore too harmful to the engine?

Provided your internals are in good working order & not too old, the standard bottom end can make 250+rwkw, provided the head & externals are all upto the task of course. Less margin for error with tuning of course, so you'd need to be extra careful.

From the looks of the damage. Its safe to say it was tuner related damage.
Looks like it ran a bit too lead and some bits got a bit hot.

Most likely ran lean due to the temp shifting that you had at the drags and your ecu software wasnt program for that

methy Not many people are

Ive picked up the bottom end from the engine builder to dummey assemble to make sure i got all the right holes drilled into the block. Everthing looks ok but wont assemble the internals just yet, still need to get the head done.
Ended up with
5S block and crank
3S Eagle rods
87.5mm CP pistons
ARP head and main studs
ACL race bearings
OS Giken twin plate clutch (R2CD)







And some body work
strated welding and smothing the engine bay





Toms sides and rear





I need to repair the damage on the drivers side before I can try fit the bar and sides. Its a bit worse on the rear 1/4 than I was first expecting. I thoght it was only really the dint above the intake (aswell as the intake panle) but it has crushed the wheel well as well. If I had of looked in front of the rear wheel I would have spoted this.

Bay looks great, looking forwards to when its painted.

loving the smoothed engine bay Andy. missed it when you first posted it.

It seam to be going very slowly. I was hoping to have it done by the end of the year but that wont happen.

Ive brought a few more things for the motor
HKS 272 cams
HKS cam gears
HKS valve springs
Ferrea 1mm o/s competition plus valves
I got another head as well.

These parts should come from Toyota on Monday
Gaskit kit
water pump
oil pump
tensioner
the 2 idler pulleys
thermostat
5s rear main seal
welsh plugs
and the dipstick fitting is a couple of weeks away.
once I have that ill go back to the engine builder to get the head done. Need to get the oil feed for the balance gear plug as well.

The only thing I have done on my car is try make a fiberglass mold of the floor for the "special"
interior I have planed for it. But that turning into a nightmare and ive only just started.

very nice..... keep the updates coming

Parts look good Andrew! ;)
