rite folks,
time has come to build myself a proper engine. i blew the last standard engine up after its rebuild and not bothering with standard again. lol.
i got hold of a 5e, and have now got myself forged pistons and rods from _shaun_
i have spent the last few nights going through the differnt builds, discussions, threads to see what people are using but wanting to know your thoughts on what to use in the build.
spec i am looking for is fast/road,
decked 5e
cleaned up/polished/regrind/balanced crank
standard 4efte head (for now), had atleast 1 skim that i had done
ross flat top pistons, scat rods
acl shells and thrust washers
new oil pump
and turbo will be either my td04l for now, but looking into a td05, but not sure which one.
now for the questions :-
1, what head gasket to use.
2, what size injectors
3, safe boosting levels
4, ring gapping
5, (the 1 thats bothering me the most) running in, oil and oil changing.
i read the motor-man link i found (think it was anyway) and i get and like what he says, but looking for other suggestions.
Thanks for the help in advance :rockon:
