Forged 5EF(T)E Build

Hey Guy, I am building a 5efte with forged internals and a rebuilt gearbox with a Quaiffe diff and looking for some advice on oils to use after it has been run in. The gearbox oil, engine oil and what about the diff? It will have a FMIC, K26 hybrid, Emanage, decat, fueling amongst loads of other mods. Max boost will be 1.8 Bar. Hopefully pushing out 350bhp odd when finished.

I would go for the worst case which would be hard driven street and track use. I would not expect the oil temp to go above 85.

Can you make any recommendations for this set-up?
Cheers
Pete

Pete,

At those oil temps I would go with a good 5w-40 synthetic, if you want the best then ester based http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

For the gearbox and diff the Silkolene Syn5 75w-90, it is also quaiffe approved http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-850-silkolene-silktran-syn-5-75w-90-fully-synthetic-gear-oil.aspx

Just had a quick look, it could be the oil but I am not sure you would get that 'feel' from using the wrong oil. You could give it a change and see how it goes, its the cheapest solution to try first.

Owen,

The Pro S 10w-50 is a great oil, but I would say its not needed for your starlet, the Pro S 5w-40 would be my choice.

Dont put 20w-50 anywhere near the starlet, it will give it too higher blood pressure! I would go 5w-40 or 10w-40 synthetic, ester based. Silkolene Pro, Motul 300v and Gulf Comp if you want the best.

For the mini, I love these. Most will tell you to use a mineral 20w-50, dont listed to them the correct kind of synthetic will look after the engine/gearbox much better. Have a look at the Silkolene Pro R 15w-50 here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-705-sil...nthetic-oil-for-high-performance-engines.aspx Or the Silkolene Comp4 20w-50 here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1123-si...ine-oil-for-high-performance-motorcycles.aspx

Cheers

Guy.
