Lee, I explained what to do. Call the courier and asked for the signed document, it will show what we signed for. Thats why couriers get a signature.. Seems a coincidence that the same guy has another high stall converter for sale. James

A leak test on supra can be a little tricky for someone who has not done it before, but the basics are. Fill with compressed air all pipework between your turbos and the throttle body, you will need correctly sixed bungs - (bean tins ryan calls them) with a airline afixed. In reality your not gonna find a local garage to do this for you unless they are bored and love beans. We like other specialist will have purchased or adapted special tools for the job. With the supra there are some areas you should expect to see leakage too, for example through the idle control valve which needs blocking. Also we find the one way breather valves/restricted flow valves on the supra quite useless on most vehicles we see. Hope that helps a bit. James

Hi Jonny. Its worth getting the leak test done, boost leaks can be very strange indeed. At some pressures the hole/leak can be sealed whilst at other pressure is Pi$$es like a me and you after 12 pints. The other option is that your 1.2 bar restricter ring is in some way not sat right, or filled with sealant/paste and infact is a .80bar restricter ring. The final option and not very nice one is the turbo's didnt like the overboost and have been overspun and not efficient any longer. Get that leak test done. A leak can be a turbo killer. James

how have you tested for boost leaks???

hey guys the little 4 banger is built and going in the chassis over the next 2 weeks, will be good to see if it can hold its own against all this 6 pots

As a norm yes mate, although Ive seen engines that seal some blow by with higher cylinder pressure ie revs, in addition a higher ratio of exhaust gas per ml of oil leakage can be very hard to see. Worth a leak test to be sure. Just an option chap. James

Hiya. Awsome part of the uk, I used to live in Bournemouth and really enjoyed driving the costline. Good luck with your search.

blow by???

yes mate, nice upgrade for the supra is the rev3 one. James

Rev1/2 have afm, rev3 dont. James

Ok so look if its just a idle issue, I suggest you pop some tools in the boot drive down here with it, your welcome to use our parts supplies ie coil etc and swap them out yourself this will encure you no cost and will find the issue and have it resolved same day. Just pay for what you need. On a rev1 I strongly suspect its your coil, take a look at it, most likely its cracked around its mountings are split across the bottom. If you want to call 01252 845645 James

Hi Guys. I can share my opinion on both sides of the story and try to help with the actual issue. Firstly we are all repsonsible for allowing persons with the right experience to work on any thing that belongs to us, dont take your tv to a general electrician take it to a tv specialist, they do exist, ok it may be a bit more effort getting it there but it pays in the end. The next most important thing is communication, its both parties responsibility to say all they need to say before work starts. For example the owner should make it clear what the budget it if there is one. The contractor with any sense will have a cap on diagnostic time per part of jobs list. Ie we have a cap at 3 hours diagnostic time for any one said issue. If the communication is not that good on either side there are usually dissappointments. The man needs paying for his time, if you give him a open cheque book you know what to expect. We all share responsibility. Some people will offer work for free where they feel dissapointed themselves in a failure to fix, we certainly have but again it all depends on the contractual disccussion. From a "Fairness" point of view which is the angle most commonly used in the forum scenes 10 hours is a joke and the said people shouldnt be working on the car. With the problem at hand. We can work thorugh that here. What year is the car?? Did the problems suddenly appear or have the started since changing something?? Has the engine been compression tested?? James

Hes a good chap, doesnt like little kicks of a cdi unit very much. Top work mate.

Hey mate I have no email from you although I have changed it in the last few months. Try [email protected]

Darren If it helps any we can pack and post for £30 on exhausts. James

Wez mate. There is a single turbonetics uk dealer in the based somewhere near southampton. Contact turbonetics stateside for the delaers details, Im affraid I dont recal the name. James

The sensors most likely to cause this issue will be water temp sensor and air temp sensor, a quick search will help you with the diagnostic check. With this issue there is no garuntee to get a code with the check as the sensor may just be reading incorrect rather than completely duff, In which case they will need checking for resitance values at different temperatures. James

If I was buying any car with a claimed 650hp, I would want proof, I would also get the car checked over buy someone in the know. A claimed 650bhp supra can have alot of hidden issues that may in the very near future cost you a small fortune. James

Hi, The most likely cause for this is a temp sensor issues. Has a diagnostic been done?? James

Im sure others will comment on the stock setup and how suitable it is, but you can buy for not much money a switched emergency pump to ensure there is plenty of oil pressure if the pressure starts to drop, you can decide at what point it activates and for how long it runs, I will try to find a link for you. James

Cool as ice

lol I get the idea cheers. I heard about them today and theres a car that could use a pair of fresh lights with the respray, thought I would ask, glad I did. Cheers James

Scared?? Not good then?? James

Hiya. The front light unit replacement lenses. Cheers.
