I'm strongly considering going your 5mge pistons cut for 24v head route to bump compression rather than $700 aftermarket pistons. Only thing is the ITBs are something I dont have the where with all for doing.
The dyno sheet is impressive... 260 to the wheels is no slouch especially if backed with 4.3 gears and weight reduction AND no turbo lag...
PS: Is the 11:1 still safe with decent timing and some 91octane pump gas?

The hp is calculated on the crank, that is also the kind of hp Toyota always show.
The dyno is more ´precise than one that only measure on the wheels.
The compression is good and not to high. I drive on 95/99 pumpgas without any problems.
Best regards Jens Pedersen
stomis;1554418 said:O thats my fault I didnt realize you corrected the numbers to a flywheel number. For some reason I always thought bhp was the non us equiv to whp but after a google search I just realized its exactly the opposite.
That being said I know that octane rating differs throughout the world. Do you have any idea what system you guys use there so I can try to convert or do you pretty much have the same quality and octane levels just different ratings? After a google search: Euro 95 octane is equivalent to US 89 and 98 is equiv to US 91
Also how much power do you suspect your picking up from the ITBs vs a well flowing ported/polished stock intake?
Jens Lyn;1554996 said:At shell i can get 99 octane.
That is the one that i prefer to use in my cars.
