They work together, two smaller ones to help spin up faster (less lag) White smoke out of exhuast on idle after a good blast! I also had it on gear changes too.

It was, but now I have taken it apart it isnt. I've worked it out a 2994cc. Not the stated 3100. (2960 standard) Greg, used digital vernier caliper to measure. Obviously a bore gauge would be better, but its def 87.5mm bores. So it looks like they are JE pistons. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding on the crank, maybe it was ground a bit to balance only.

Ebay Wont be using head gaskets, just want all the other ones. User has 0 feedback too :wack:

lol, yea I had fun taking all mine apart!

Just measured the head gasket too. Its 1.2mm. Is this thicker than the stock size? I was told it was which is why theres a slight drop in compression. 150 on all 6.

I got a TOM TOM and I dont like it. Its never taken me to where I put in I want to go EVER! I always have to do the last bit myself. Its weird on some motorways too. Tells you to go into the right hand lane when your carrying straight on and other weird things.

I wasnt planning on a rebuild cause it was all spose to have been done 15k ago. I was just checking it out cause when I changed the oil pump the crank didnt look like it was spose to, knife edged. Had to have the engine out to fix some coolant pipes, so I thought id check out wether the pistons have been done too. Are we all happy that they are JE forged pistons, or will I have to take it all apart further to be doubly sure??!?!?!?!

I fitted that in situ about a month ago!

Stated on the advert: THOR RACING TUNED 3.1TT OVERSIZE JE PISTONS, KNIFE EDGE CRANK, UPRATED TURBOS 360 THRUST BEARINGS, DYNO'D 340rwbhp AND 340LB TORQUE Otherthings, but not worth listing.

Here are some pics of it all. Also put some of my turbos. These are spose to be standard with 360degree bearings. They look clean, were done 5 years ago.

But its still not a 3.1ltr is it? unless the stroke has been lenghtend?

Yup. It was claimed as 3.1ltr and uprated internals. knife edge crank, rods, pistons. Ill go take more photos.

I've only taken the heads off and sump. I was hoping it was going to be what I bought it was, but sadly doesnt look like it so far. Looks more like they just dropped another lump in. What do you want pics of? Will he tops of the pistons tell anything? Could you have normal size forged piston? or would they always be bigger. When I start the engine I get a slight knocking till its warmed up, told its cause of forged pistons. Looks like a metal head gasket too. Its def had some work done to it, but not what it was sold to me as.

So I've got a completely standard engine then!?!?!?!?!?

Im stupid. One is plugged in, one isnt. Not sure on cams. Is there any way to identify?

Its spose to be a 3.1ltr With: JE pistons Knife edge crank Carillo rods Here are some pics of the crank. Not really knife edge is it?!?! I've also measured the piston bore and its 87.4mm. Would that make it a 3.1ltr? I've had a look at the online manual but cant work out the standard piston size. Not sure on the rods. They are still in. Wasnt planning on taking them out.

I use millers fully synthetic cfs 10-60.

Thats crazy!

Hmmmmm. Im sure the pulleys are standard. Will have to check the cams. I've almost got down to them. Just gotta take the rocker covers off.

Both are deffinatley cut!!!

I've got my new 'evolution Z' to bring along!

I have a boost controller so im ok there. I dont have aftermarket cam pulleys. Thats the bit the belt runs on right? But one of them deffiantely has the wires chopped and not connected. Cant remember if the other was plugged in or not off the top of my head. How will this effect the running of the car?

These two are on the back of the cam shafts. Ones disconnected one has a plug plugged in? This one in on the side plenum support brackets. Neither are connected so I guess I can do away with them. Just wondered what they did? Thanks. Sorry for shit photos. Camera cant do close focus and flash at the same time.

Thanks for all the info!
