Ok been through all this.
Firstly didnt yyour pistons come with wrist pins and clips ?
Secondly if you are going to Turbo strongly suggest to upgrade your rods.
Take your pick there up to you.
Special note the the 3rd gen 3 N/A has the same rods as the Turbo GEN 3.
Also which i still dont understand the last Caldina model 97 GEN 4 has the same rods as the RED TOP ?????????
So are they strong enough ? Toyota seems to think so. But i guess better to be safe..............
Now the crankshaft bearings come in 2 size sets. New crank or .02 over if you machine your crank. You need to make a descision are you going to machine it
Same goes with the piston bearings.
Also your pistons are over size so you are going to have to bore out your block. May i suggest you torque plate bore and hone to your piston size. Any proffesional place will know what to bore out, but the only snag i see is that they will not know exactely how much the pistons will expand when hot. TOO LITTLE and you can seize the engine TOO MUCH and the pistons will make a lot of noise due to slap.
Thats a hard one , i suggest you contact the manufacture of the pistons for the correct size.
Lastely when they torque plate it , make sure its with studs as ill bet you that when you take your cylinder head off you will see deformation of the cylinder where the head bolts are
Remember im anal , this is what ive gone through with a NEW BLOCK, though i didnt touch the crankshaft as i bought a new one. To lighten it i think it is a waste as your turbo charging the engine. It has its merits with high compression N/A applications.
You need a plan of attack and take it a step at a time.
