Piston Top Club

[yaris2010RS]

So this random thread is Garms fault.....

Just a random thread to see how many people (and how small of a club it really is) have actually seen the tops of their Pistions on their Yaris?

If possible show pics of Piston tops with aprox driving length (metric or imperial)

^ It's a small club of people who have been able to look at their piston tops. :biggrin:

Seriously hoping that I only join this club out of curiosity and not out of necessity.

LOL, Garm, even you need to play by the rules here, this isnt Microimageonline.com.

^ Yes Sir. :tongue:

[Focus_Sh1ft]

For the record, this is one club I really wish I wasn't a member of lol.

My recently acquired cynicism from all the trouble I've been having made me want to vote 'this is stupid,' but I'll be a good sport. :tongue:

Here's what your valves look like when you're misfiring on all four cylinders every 2 seconds :cry:

Other than a cylinder misfire, are there any other reasons one would end up joining this club? I havent seen mine, but i am also kinda hoping i never have to.

Well, the stock internals on the 1NZ can handle 8-9 psi of boost all day long however once you start to get to 11/12 it has been found that it could be as little as a few months before the rods cannot handle the pressures and bend. In my case I spiked to somewhere between 25-30psi from the flapper arm on the then current internal wastegate at 1800rpm which in turn put 8 holes in my block and upper oil pan sub assembly :biggrin:

This rod was dynoed at 197whp at 12 psi of boost 2 days before it bent and hit the cylinder wall. It started my rebuild.
