    Makka's engine build

    Ok so we all know my motor has issues so i decieded that i will pull it out and rebuild my thoughts and ideas for it are the following
    15 to 20 psi boost
    top mount intercooler

    this is as far as i have got now i dont have alot of cash to spend so this will have to be done watching every single cent i have into it ....

    it is a black top td42 93 build as far as i know. and as i think i understand it the blacktop had the 30mm little ends or wrist pins

    ok my questions are do i need to go for turbo conrods or will the standard ones be ok for what im running

    should i get the ports opened up a bit or just smooth them out

    do i go for bigger valves or are the standard size ok , should i get a certain type of valve to put up with the extra heat of the turbo..... heavier valve springs i will be useing

    cam ????????

    will i need to boost the pump up to 12mm spec or 11mm spec or will the 10mm run this

    the block crank rods will be sent of for machining and cleaning the head also

    thanks guys dont ask what turbo im running because i wont know till the motor is back together and i have the cash for that

    and the general rule for how much you'll need is three litres
    per day , per person, per man per degree over 25 degrees
    celcius, per kilometer if walking on foot, in the winter months
    dividing it by two, plus... another litre... at the end .... Russell Coight

    Personally, if I were to do it again........I am doing it AGAIN..... I would just buy an import td and remove the 24 volt gear, use the old 12v stuff and throw that in.

    Are these motors brand new crate jobbies or second hand, just out of interest?

    Hey Rossco just had a quick look and could not see anything it did bring up a post from here saying that after 10 years they would not be doing anymore crate motors so we could be out of luck

    I paid $6800 for my TD42T imported engine. Low mileage, factory turbo, it's been faultless since I did the conversion.

    There have been a lot of stories of issues with rebuilt TD42s..
