np89 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Oh they will - all in good time mate back-to-back videos of it on your car vs my car will be interesting for everyone to see Lol fair enough. Remember mine is only doing 0.6bar on the wastegate spring there lol im sure it will be much more lively at 1.8bar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyBoi Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Actually screw it, was gonna wait til mine is up and running with the same turbo but that's no fun! This is the BL S366 running .6 bar on Niall's Supra, sounds amazing even on the lowest boost https://vimeo.com/187190645 https://vimeo.com/187190907 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 More quality welds found by Whifbitz (this little part was covered with heat wrap, I can only assume in order to hide the weld haha) Turbo will be arriving sometime next week, which means if all goes to plan, the old girl should be up and running within 2 weeks ready for mapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyBoi Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 So whifbitz done that? Yup. Bought this exhaust brand new from them, fitted at the garage in Enfield, hasn't been removed since yesterday when I sold it to 214supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are many people who can vouch for their workmanship and that is reasonable as they have and still do really good work, but it does seem some people are just left picking up the pieces.

IMHO! You ought to send a picture of that to Paul, I doubt he'd be happy seeing that. Hopefully this isn't a common occurrence, the welding they did on my downpipe (needed a different flange for my turbo) is first rate to be fair.

Hopefully this isn't a common occurrence, the welding they did on my downpipe (needed a different flange for my turbo) is first rate to be fair. In all fairness this was a long time ago, probably coming up to 2 years, so I don't see the point in chasing down one awful weld. Me and 214supra sorted it out between us; I gave him some money off to go towards the repair. I'm just surprised I'm STILL coming across things that they bodged. I dread to think what I'll find later down the line, it's never ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Wasn't this the exhaust that came off the car on the way home from it being fitted and was dragged down the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Wasn't this the exhaust that came off the car on the way home from it being fitted and was dragged down the road? Yeah, about a week after it was collected the end section came unbolted but stayed attached to the hangers & dragged on the ground before I slammed on the brakes. I almost forgot about that!

JackyBoi Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Inspecting the turbo that I bought from np89 (thanks a lot Niall I can't wait to fit this beast!) 3 phase polish And some 45 degree 4" bends for the exhaust system (these cost too much lol) And a 4" v-band! Exhaust fabrication starts Monday, I can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's a top bloke is it a white r32/grey r33 that your mate has? I always thought Damien looked more of a Vdub kinda guy lol.. like he should be restoring old campers lol! Super chilled! Nah my mate used to have a midnight purple R33 but it was abit of a nail. Damien put a new engine in it for him but then that started playing up too.. the car was just a problem car from the start, not helped by the fact my mate has no mechanical sympathy what so ever lol. He now has a white glanza, Damien has been doing alot of wiring and plumbing on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
