finally if grade of bearing is unknown just order all sizes 0-4 rod bushings/big and main then you can go wrong :D might need a few packs though

bearings although japanese manufacturers over design bearing grades! for instance grade 2 against a grade 3 is so minimal even a micrometer wont register, so some people go for one grade available from good engine shops. you can get oversize + - You wont see the colours of the bearings after 15+years. you take the numbers from the crank and con rod caps so for example from cylinder 1-6 crank 1 1 2 0 1 0 rod 0 0 1 1 0 0 = 1 1 3 1 1 0 add to give correct grade big&main crank&block again add numbers from front to rear on block&crank block 1 1 1 0 crank 0 1 1 0 = 1 2 2 0 HTH greg

arias :hyper: circlip design is spot on, quality is good expect to pay around £600 a set though obviously includes rings/clips etc. weisco on a budget, although im not keen on circlips fiddly to fit, and a few clips have failed, im not starting a debate as some have them fitted with no problems, i wouldnt use them personally but for the money and all that :smw: you get what you pay for and with an engine important components need good engineering work, best products in the world can go wrong if matching products are over/under spec'd south cerney engineering are very good, not cheap but who is!

no need to replace con rods as there good for over 500hp its the pistons that need to be sorted so go forged ie arias/je/weisco

Confusing wheel question
problem is your extending an already wide wheel further out over the arch, might be ok with a widearch conversion, after you spend all that money you could get a set of advans and be done with it bud.

Anyone had a bid on this ?
bargain

Confusing wheel question
they wont fit bud at least not safely IMO

Wastegate stuck closed
its rare for the wategate to sit closed, if anything a cracked diaphram causing a leak at the wastegate but normally a peak drop in boost pressure is evident sometimes a spike which can be random. you can check the operation of the wastegates in situ, however removing them may be an arse. as already said passenger side is reachable/removable are you getting 1.2 bar imediately or does it peak to that amount? is there a slow reaction before you feel any turbo response
