I've now decided it is time to give my starlet an engine rebuild.
It has no problems other than a niggling issue with the oil pressure, that may or may not be me being paranoid.
Anyway; my plan was to fully forge the engine and go to town on it. I'm also going to stick a quaife diff in the box whilst I am at it
My conundrum is that I don't really plan on changing the turbo from the hybrid ct9 it has now. Biggest turbo I would go is td04 if I was going to change it in the future. I am more than happy with sub 300bhp, 200-250 is ample on back roads imo.
Ignoring the cost point for the moment. Is it worth the effort to forge it for my end goal? What would I gain by forging it rather than a stock rebuild? What would I lose by forging it?
I have some other questions relating to other engine related mods I am looking at doing, but I will leave those questions for later
Fire away at me, I want as much info and feedback from others that I can get....
