My Custom Wastegate Lines, Uprated Gear Box mount And FPR Relocation :D PIC HEAVY

Hay all. Ok long day today working on the Supra again. Vibra-Technics came down today to test there uprated gear box mount on my car. And it fitted pretty damn well. So they will me developed and if anyone is interested in them let me know and AKS can get the ordered up for you.

So first batch of pics is the gear box mount upgrade.

Ok next job today was to replace the rubber vacuum wastegate lines with some braided one we made up ourself using aeroquip fittings.

First up to fit on the threaded connectors supplied by Turbosmart to replace the push fit ones.

Ok for the last job of the day I wanted to relocate my aeromotive fuel pressure regulator.

Ok, were to? I decided to remove an engine loom holder as this would be the ideal place.

Clever Alex whipped up this bracket (if anyone needs one let me know as he can make more)

And back to black

And after I fitted a longer fuel line to the fuel rail, bolted everything on. Finished Alexs bracket worked a treat!

So all in all, a productive day. Thanks for looking

Paul

price on the new mount? Also does it control the vibrations from the drivetrain? or is it noticably louder than stock and similar to the TRD Mount? Thanks

Sorry but those vac line look a mess

Dibbs unfortunately as its a double wastegate system its not the easiest to make the neatest as there needs to me more t-pieces and extra lines. There's still some work to be done and the pics don't do it much justice. But functionally there spot on.

Phil. There is no price yet on the mount as there about to go into production. Small dull vibration on small revs while the vehicle is static, thats about it

Where'about are you from mate? Vibra-techincs are only down the road from me!

I used the Vibratechnics Torque mount on my Focus ST. A brilliant piece of kit and very well engineered.

I think youve done a good job there mate dont think I couldnt have done better. Ive been scratching my head on what to do with my lines as I have a twin gate and yeah the ideas are limited so why not make them look good if you cant hide them. Well done

Thanks Kaan, there a right Biatch..

Turtleshead I'm near Bedford, vibra Technics are about 40 mins from me lol, were abouts are you?
