No cake for me mate, I'm dieting I'll drop you a line if I'm round that way. I'll probably have me son with me too.

After today's trip out, thought I'd give her a quick wash ready for tomorrow's escapades

Desperate to get some more boost into this now.

Been out in the car yesterday and today. Had the roof off too. I pushed it to 0.5 bar today, AFRs were perfect. That's as far as I'll go though. I am pleased at how it spools, it doesn't seem any difference it RPM to my GT42-76 setup. I FREAKING LOVE THIS CAR.

Thanks Kaan. I did however see the biggest temp drop after relocating the oil cooler. Eventhough I've basically handed the size of the cooler, it has a lot more direct air flow now. The car is running like a dream, I just need some boost now.

A few results over the last few days with the car. As a part of the engine build, I fitted an extended lower sump pan. This is basically big enough to hold an extra ltr of oil or there abouts. I bought the upper and lower sump, and oil pick up from Darrets old car. He told me the whole idea of it was, the greater volume of oil, you get more oil pressure and when it's all curculating the larger capacity sump helps keep the oil cooler. If I'm honest I thought it was a big ask for only 1 extra litre of oil but it's came up trumps. Over the times I've had it out in hot weather, and yes it has been hot up here for a change, I've seen some good results. Oil pressure - 8 bar on cold start (as normal) but once the car is warm, I'm seeing 3 bar at idle (usually had 2 bar) and 9.5 bar when rpm is increased. Pressure build up seems to be a lot quicker also. Oil temperature - I've seen a drop of 10 degrees which I'm over the moon about. My initial setup, I had removed the stock oil cooler, a 30 row cooler in fornt of the radiator and was seeing very high oil temp of sometimes 130 degrees. This was due to the location of the cooler in relation to the bumper mouth. I changed my setup to a 16 row cooler but located it in the passenger side duct behind my I/C pipe. I ducted it all to get good air flow to the cooler and this dropped my oil temps to nothing higher than 100 degrees even driving around town in really hot weather. The extended sump has dropped my temps a further 7-10 degrees. The oil still warms up quickly because of the thermostatic sandwich plate but the temps are just about perfect now. So all is good. I'm going to to g Ryan on Monday about mapping so lets hope he can squeeze me in before Scottish modified in July. Supra love FTMFW.

I loaned him it mate.

Well lets hope when I do change my car, I've grown up a bit and realized power isn't everything or I'm a little stuck lol. Hi Ross Well I'm on nights this week and next but the week after I'll have a look down if I've got nothing on.

Really looking forward to it myself James. Even the drive up from my house is a perfect drive for a supra. Lots of long straight roads and a couple of twistys too. Can see it being an EPIC weekend for sure.

Not that big

I won't be blowing it up dont worry. You certainly will be getting a mention, this engine is just perfection. Thanks for all the help

Hahahahahahaha

eBay.

M12 x 1.25mm I did offer to sell you a fitting and a feed line but you never got back to me about it so I gave it away in the end.

Thanks Josh. I've got some serious supra love at the minute

Sandwich plate came today. Oil leak is now all sorted. Took her to work tonight and it drives like a stock car with an uprated clutch off boost. I think I've actually nailed what I tried to do with it. Couple of little rattles I want to sort but no big deal at all. Putting some more miles on it over the weekend then I best off give Ryan a buzz, for a mapping session. Dan Sherwood (Jap performance editor) has been in touch today too wanting to do another feature on the car too. I'm over the moon with that

Chuck it all back in, should only take you an hour.

Aye me n Bossco are gona blink the shizzle out of these drifting nuts lol.

Found the oil leak. It was the oil seal on my sandwich plate had gone hard and split. I've ordered a new one and was told it would be here on Wednesday at the latest so hopefully back on the road by Friday.

I thought speed sensor was 42. 41 is Thottle position sensor, but I could be wrong. I've got a spare TPS if you want to borrow it and try it bud.

Didn't get out today. A member on here had his engine taken out to have his car painted and when it was put back in, it wouldn't run right. I've been working on it all day today for him. I'm hoping to get it all finished for him by the weekend.

My son is coming out with me later on today hopefully to take some decent pictures, all being well (with a decent camera too lol). Was enjoying the drive too much yesterday to stop and take any pics haha.

Yep
