Hi folks, sorry I haven't been on for a while. Pressures of life bla bla.
A few mths ago I added a Kinugawa TD05 18G & HPD top mount cooler to my car, tuned to 15psi. The eng was rebuilt 40,000km prior. Anyhoo long story short, I'm suspect my original pistons may have been reused & even if they weren't they didn't even hone the cylinders. I got water in the fuel sys from a bad batch of fuel & since then my motor started blowing oil out the PCV & then 2 days later it cracked No.1 piston on the crown. So my question is this, what are the internal differences between TD42 & TD42T?
I know the pistons & rods are different & have a slightly larger gudgeon pin & the oil squirters are a bit longer. I'm not so worried about the oil squirters but I want to build it to turbo spec as much as poss.
Any tips & advice appreciated. Car is 1998 GU
