Right I've been here for a wee while now,

But today toyotagtturbo surprised me afresh. I was looking info valve shrouding and 3/5 angle valve jobs... And really the site just keeps throwing up great threads.

Some of questions asked are searching and answers we have here at our fingertips are more than insightful!

Fantastic 4efte resource

100% agreed. Just the other day I did a search for injector lag times. Found what I was looking for pretty quickly but then spent the rest of the time reading up the excellent threads all the same. toyotagtturbo.com forever!

But the starlet community is based on the blind leading the blind

Has been for centuries :)

Get with the program and stop knowing stuff.

You hear that acl bearings are scrap? Motorfactors ones are definitely better. Word on the street. Lol

Ive used ACL a couple of times and never had any issues, and done plenty of mile on my previous near 30k myself and they werent marked when they came out 4or5 owners and many miles later than my own 30k.

ACL race bearings are likely a better quality than most and suggest changing because for the expected performance aspect or to cover ACLs bum

the motorfactors are likely grand as well even if from cheaper manufacturer, they obviously arent going to say change after 25k or they wouldnt sell any.

i am not a fan of acl aluglide (normal range). acl race is a different story. but not available for our engines unless you buy bulk sets..only then will acl manufacture a set. its a different story running aluglides with 300hp reving to stock red line. different kettle of fish when your making over 400hp and reving to 8.5-9k rpm.

for 98% of the people using them..they should work fine. but when pushed to the extreme..i am not very confident about them. guys this is just my personal opinon..so take it with a pinch of salt... :)

Yup i agree around stock rev limit, the OEM replacement (aluglide) is grand, just as oem is grand.

crazy power, race is your best bet, and if you really need race bearings you will likely changed them regularly anyways

here is ACL comparison (aluglide/duraglide/race (in order of greatness lol)

Pretty sure i ran duraglide from the states about 6yr ago, anyone have a link to a seller/stockist of the duraglide stuff.?

Hell no, I couldn't handle the madness of how it used to be.

Everyday we had 15+ pages of people arguing with each other, ripping each other off and generally just spamming the joint up. Moderating today is a breeze compared to all that silliness. Thankfully the information was a valuable side effect of the traffic.

Nowadays even I can actually use the site as it was intended instead of having my head melted.

TGTT is in 'chill out' mode at last!
