Homer Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Nearly there Are you doing the work yourself? Any details on the spec? *nit picking time* - why the HKS cam gears? It's well proven you'll never need to adjust them (unless it's an ubder tuned high output car) so seems a bit of a waste of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hi mate yes do all my own work from respraying to all engine work . the turbo is a phr stage 2 i think! (i brought it off luicfer) got 650cc sard injectors to go in only running them off a apexi neo for the moment till i can afford to get a AEM ecu , i got the hks cam gear cos they look nice and only £60 so cheap + I'm going to be getting some hks cams at some point and this will allow for them to be timed up spot on .

Good on you for doing the work yourself It really helps understand whats going on in there! I was going to ask if it was a PHR stage 2, looks exactly like those I've seen. Thats a 62mm turbo I think? 650's should be fine, though 1.4bar might be your safe limit. Those gears were cheap (and look pretty ), but I don't think you'll ever need them in terms of the adjustment, uprated cams or not. Looking forward to the next update. I may have mentioned it before, but whatever headache you get in the install/mapping, it's worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Ooh, just noticed it's water cooled, wouldn't that make it PHR 2+? I.e much larger T67 sized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Ooh, just noticed it's water cooled, wouldn't that make it PHR 2+? I.e much larger T67 sized? PHR also do DBB versions of the stage 1 and stage 2 turbos. The turbo doesn't look overly big to me, looks like it could be either stage one or 2 to me. Nice one Matt, good luck with the rest of the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra matt Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 o right if i book my car into turbo-fit will it be him anyway or will they just do it themselves? I'm after getting my apexi Neo set up, on another note any luck selling the car ? or you going to hang onto it for a bit longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra matt Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Bit more sorted tonight , got the air filter in and the catch tank hooked up + the rad overflow tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 slight critisism mate i would look at some pucka ally tubing for the intercooler check out e-bay, it costs little and welds well (give the welder some scraps to practice on) i had trouble with cobbled together piping blowing off culminating in destroying a scooby and blowing an I/C pipe off, i didn't let the side down however as i think he thought i was playing with him as i slowed down and he was to scared to overtake:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi mate Ya i'm going to see a fabricator this week to get a one piece pipe made up , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 very good i knew you would have it under control, ask him if he can swage the ends as well to prevent the dreaded pop off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Great progress matt, well done! I 'd suggest your overflow tank is in a less than optimal area. It gets VERY hot there. You can get a much smaller overflow bottle from an old Toyota in a scrap yard that will fit nicely alongside the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettjones Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 nice work matt you will have to give me a spin when you have her all sorted outlooks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
