one more thing is there anyone in the brizzy north area that has a hoist and knowledge to maybe give me a hand when i need to drop this in?? also will i need to get a engineers cert for the conversion given these motors came out in other models of this car??

your doing so much better that the project luxxy twat on the general discussion thread. also, if you cant find a hoist, just use a block an tackle attached to a strong beam in your shed or similar. pretty cheap to buy them these days. good luck.

Looking at their website and its says 4.5 psi.......... Its it worth it.
Dont get me wrong turbo 3rz is a weapon (be there done that) 20k later and 1 rebuild. Stock engine good for 12psi (being conservative). After rebuild with forged internals and forged head the sky is the limit 25psi or more
But then the g-box dont like that (stripped input shaft splines clean off) With everything you put money here then you gotta put money into that bit and so on

If its shiney its .......<fill gap>

i'll only be running about 10-12 PSI and i no about the week rods in the 3rz engines i will probably replace them with forged ones before i drop the engine in.. realisticley its a single cab Ute it does'nt need that much to be fun to drive

There is no set psi limit for the stock 3rz. Luke coy ran 30psi through his, denver ran 26 though his. Both drove around daily.

Dont bother with the rods unless u do the pistons, head gasket, arp headstuds etc. Just dont go revving the tits out of it
