Wouldn't it be cheaper/less hassle to just get a DET block in that case?

Yes it would. And if the engine is not assembled with the turbo pistons in place, it is almost impossible to get the positioning right as a flat surface needs to be machined, hole drilled, thread tapped.....then you gotta get 6 oil squirters. Sounds like a head-f**k to me. Get a DET block as suggested

Yeah that was my thoughts too after looking into it.

I am most likely going down the path of the DET block. The only issues I see is that the Oil Gallery for the VVT that I will not be using will be to be welded or Grub screwed (No biggy) but the Water gallery for the VVT block (near the VVT Oil gallery) is different to the Non VVT head (The one I have) This may need to be welded in parts and then re-machined die grind-ed to suit..

See pics on the first page.

It should be ok but I still needed to ask the question to see if the oil squirters could be done correctly?

The Permaseal MLS Gasket (on their website) is the same part number for both R32 and R33 RB25 tells me that it may be OK to use (This could also be a web site screw-up though). It looks like the actual sealing part of the gasket will go around both water galleries sizes .

I will check this once I get my hands on a DET Block to determine my options.

Thanks.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
