Finished up a K24 i-Vtec swap for this GPW ap1. The torque feel of this car is so enjoyable for daily driving!

Over the years we have seen this time and time again. Compression loss due to burnt valves, bad valve seats, bent valves. Be sure to keep up with your valve adjustments and timing chain replacements.

How often do you have to replace the timing chain?

Changing the timing chain is when needed based on mechanics inspection of the timing chain stretch. Alternatively we created an off set timing gear which replaces your stock gear to compensate for the timing chain stretch.



This short cuts the necessity to have to change the timing chain. 1 hour installation versus 9 hour installation for the whole chain.

When you change the chain, do you need to replace the plastic guides as well?

Have you had any experience with the toda chain? Can it be used for daily driving?
