For the love of a tractor engine: The life and times of the 18R-G

[JustenGT8]

I had the TRD leads...sexy as. Wire wound coil though so RF interference with ECus was a real issue

[The Witzl]

Im going for a multi-coil setup on my 18RGTE, so i'll most likely have custom leads in the end....

But i do vote for the NGK leads for a stock dissy setup.

[RA35GT]

The NGK Oz site still lists the leads. No details like core size though and no prices..Still remember how sexy the TRD leads are, well as sexy as plug leads get anyway...

Umm, the NGK prices all over this forum (and this thread). the rrp is ~49.95.

Got a pic of the TRD leads?

[RA35GT]

I was looking to get custom leads as well (coz i wanted black leads) but nowhere could make them right angle with the correct boot, much sadness in pants.

NGK leads I have are 6mm.

I can't find my green book, and search isn't yeilding what I want to know...

Can someone please confirm the tolerances on the pistons and bore of the RG please? I believe they are 89-89.05mm for the bore, and 88.94-88.99mm for the piston diameter...

I've just dropped my block off today for a check over, but it looks like the bore might be too worn for my pistons :-(

We got some eagle E84168 leads for my brother's 18RG. They have a 7mm core. We had them custom done from the originals. They sent new ones with a sticker and part number for 18R twin cam or 18R-G or something. These were sourced from Sprint Auto Parts.

They have the straight up cap, but the lead doesn't have to hit the bonnet. Go to a wrecker and get some lead clips to neaten them up a bit. No hitting at all.
Personally, I like the straight up thing, less bending of the lead and it's easy to adjust how far the lead protrudes from the boot.

Cylinder Limit - 88.50-88.55
Piston - 88.44-88.49

These are obviously standard size bore and pistons.

[Steve M]

The figures would match up for 0.5mm oversize piston limits.

[RA35GT]

indeed. shoulda mentioned to add whatever oversize you are using.

hey does anyone know if these are extractors and if so what brand?

[roadkill]

Hi,

def extractors, brand will probably be stamped on the side - really your only way of identifying. Does it matter what brand anyway?

They don't look like pacemaker extractors as number four goes under 1-3 on them where as those ones have number 4 going over the top.
