Stripping engine
So over the last week also, I have stripped out engine.
I was just after confirmation on turbo identification;
T34?
Also are these 4x4 Pistons?
The block

I was just passing through. Going to fix the links, but the pictures are waaaaay too big. You need to resize them.

I would say yes to both questions... The pistons look like mine, not that I could tell the difference between them an 2WD!?
Had a little bit of valve contact there!? Good luck with the build...

Yeah, I thought that, would that be an over Rev, timing out or wrong cams.

The turbo looks like a T3?
Pretty sure the pistons are 4x4.
Block could be a YBP one as it has the oil jets?

I'm with Paul on this
4x4 pistons have a offset piston pin.
oil jets means
cheaper pinto pump can be used woohoo

Reminds me, of when I built mine, I didn't get the pistons pocketed!? Nob.

Thanks for your help guys,
Only want to identify turbo as I am going to sell it, so need to get it right!
Also I will be putting pocketed Pistons back in (not sure as to what brand yet...?)
Interested about oil jets, it has high pressure YB oil pump in it, is there anything I can do whilst engine is apart to ensure I'm getting best distribution of oil into the bores?

Are the 'WRC' jets that are available any different to the ones that come factory fitted on The block?
If so is it worth changing them?
