A quick question, Should there be a plastic wheel liner at the back of the nearside rear wheel arch, like there is on the right? If so I'm missing mine. I,m not sure if there is one as the exhaust silencer box passes across the arch so it would have to be a cutaway one or it would probably melt.

can you get a brake servo seal kit anymore from anywhere?

I bet these guys know all the answers

so like my mate said in the beginning it doesnt increase performance or anything like that, it just prolongs the bearing life after switching off the ignition. 4 pages later....

my great grandad told me that when he had his first car years ago the passenger had to pedal the mechanical water pump to cool his engine, and they would have to pedal like f**k when they stopped at the lights.

has anyone know if there is a towing bracket available for the supra mkiv with bomex front bumper or how do you tow with the bumper on?

there is always a mr beardy wherever you go. He has a beard wears brown cardigans with skiers on and smokes a pipe, has a 1980's oscilloscope in his back seat and wears brown sandles with white socks. It is still an unsolved mystery where he gets his cardigans from, as no shops have ever sold them and no factories have every produced them. Some think there is a secret underground lab somewhere where lots of small mr beardys sit designing and producing cardigans with zig zags and skiers on them. He knows everything there is to know about everything and has been seen on top gear as well. He also twists his beard with his fingers while he is baffling you with his techy jargon.....

don't know just did it cos boostlogic said, something to do with pressure and heights of output from turbo, and the circuit. Output must be higher that input on turbo. Maybe a syphon effect for when the pump is switched off, don't really know. All i noticed is that if the pipe goes to the top connection on the water neck it doesnt flow water from the turbo but bottom one does. Like I said we need Mr Beardy to explain.

your pipe going to the top water neck needs to go into the one underneath and blank the one at the top. just swap it round. You will now if its right as the pipe will get hot if water is running through it. It might be a good idea to stick some aluminium tape to your master cylinder and defo around your throttle cable. Also trim some plastic off the bottom corner of the plastic intake or in time it will wear a hole in your air filter cone.

I still think cooling with the @3/8" pipe is like pi**ing on the great fire of london and expecting it to go out. I can't see it making that much difference. Good thread though.

ah thats why boostlogic told me to run the feed from the bottom of the water pump and the return into the 2nd to top feed on the water neck off the top rad hose. makes sense now.

here is another scenario for you, if the centre of the shaft had lots of cool liquid running around it and the end of the shaft in the ehaust housing is white hot wouldnt that shatter or crack the shaft? Ive seen it happen on the film Alien 3 where the alien explodes!

speak to any clutch specialist who make clutches and not the hype claimed from these companys who just make stronger springs and beefier discs than stock. there is a lot more to it that clamp pressure etc. you can only apply so much pressure on a single disc before it becomes and on and off switch and puts pressure on the crank. speak to the clutch specialists like helix etc they will explain it better. my opinion is that at 550-600 bhp+ a twin disc arrangement would be better on the left foot and give your tranny an easier time.

i found this "Everyone needs to keep in mind that the water cooling does very little for the turbo while it is running. The major benefit occurs after shutting the engine off. When setup properly the water in the turbo boils, the vapor escapes, and cool water refills the turbo. This helps keep the center housing cool and prevents the residual oil from turning to sludge." and this THE reason to have a water cooled turbo is post shutdown cooling. The only way this is going to happen is if you can properly setup a thermal siphon. During operation water cooling does very little.

Get mr beardy, he will know the answer. I have not been on the sauce, I was taking the p*ss:) Just wondered if anyone could answer the question and give the figures to show us

but hotter turbo means more power. Wheres mr beardy? If there is a mr beardy on this forum can you please do the calculations for the flow rate and volume of water/coolant passing the turbo and using 3/8 id hose and let us know how many litres of water at 90 degrees c you would need to make any significant temperature drop in the turbo; and can the stock waterpump and cooling system provide this flow rate etc. I wonder if it is significant. I think Japan had the same problem with their reactors and they had the pacific ocean to cool it.

RPS 2 street clutch $720 from MVP plus $60 postage. MVP and Boostlogic run these clutches in their cars, but you are on the border of twin plate. They will also do you the flywheel bolts and bearings and snap rings for $150 which is cheap. RPS fit with OEM fittings too. MVP use FEDEX 3 day delivery as well.

I was talking to an ex formula 1 technician the other day and he was telling me that watercooled turbos are a myth. he said that they heat the engine up quicker from cold and the water does nothing to keep the turbo any cooler. basically he said dont bother paying the extra for them as the flow needed and diameter of pipe would be huge to actually cool those kind of temperatures. anyone heard of this before?

spoke to boostlogic they sent it over for reference for anyone else

i'm sure this is the way boostlogic told me to set it up. thats why i am asking, there are 2 fuel lines in and 1 return

Can someone just confirm i have plumbed my fuel system in correct with the fpr and twin fuel lines.

i agree, but this is not what the AEM manual says. All it says is to get the input voltage to read 2.35v when the afr sensor is unplugged and that is job done. I currently have the gain set to 0.9
