Doh..........too late. I would have taken the oil........

Even I have bought one................ lol

I also need 6mm rubber vacuum hoses but can not find any

I too could do with someone to sort out one of my wheels on the BMW - deep dish and highly polished lip that I managed to kerb when not paying attention.

His wife thinks so as well............

Hi guys, Advertising this car on behalf of a mate of mine that has seen the light and wants to get a faster car (his wife has given him permission! ) Its been good runner and very reliable.

Well done and hope he quits while he is ahead!

Can you please just confirm that this is the same part no for VVTI cars? Thanks

bump............... reasonable offer accepted

hmm.....tempting. I'll let you know by tonight

I got a price from Chris @ Cheaplexustoyotaparts.com of £25 for the standard belt (I have an Aristo, but its the same engine) and these are around £100+ so are they they worth 4x more??

Does the price include the transfer fee or is that extra on top?

Good question........any answers????

Good Luck

Never had a boost gauge before- I hadn't realised they were this much fun! LOL

sorry sold......... (and it is deffo 275/35/18 ) Thanks

Its working now Been out for a blast and hit 14.1psi (I don't have a BCC installed yet so I don't know if thats max boost, or if the ECU is cutting boost) The mods I have are front decat and a cat back exhaust - I was going to detail and explain all mods in another thread. The second cat is still in. Next step is to install the Greddy BCC I have and see what I hit then. Hopefully if it stays around the same level then I can just add my boost controller to increase boost and I am at 1.2bar (obviously will do supporting mods too) I don't really want to say why the guage wasn't working - I feel such a pratt so feel free to laugh at me. On the HKS Camp, you can choose which sensors to display on the screen. I was basically looking at the wrong sensor.......... Oops! I saw the IN_MAN gauge on screen and saw it reading in PSI and thought that was the correct gauge to be looking at. On most cars the IN_MAN is intake manifold pressure and it relates to boost pressure, but I hadn't realised that my seperate boost sensor was actually called IF_BOOST. As soon as I selected that I saw the correct guage! I feel a numpty, but just glad it was something simple and hope I have given you a laugh (at my expense! ) /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_oops.gif The Journey to BPU continues...............

Long short but I don't suppose anyone know if the sensor has some kind of calibration that needs doing? My instructions are in Japanese but I can't really pick anything up to suggest I need to calibrate.

:blink: I am actually using the HKS Camp 2, but the electronic boost sensor is exactly the same as the one used on their guages, except that I get to see the boost on the stock screen in the centre console rather then a seperate gauge. I think I have a mechanical guage somewhere that I bought before deciding to do the HKS Camp somewhere, suppose I could put that in, and see if I get 0 psi when the ignition is turned on??

Just popped home during my lunch hour. With the engine off I get -4.7ish PSI With the engine started I get -9.5ish PSI Is their any significance to this?

I used a 3mm hose with a 3mm T peice, tight push on connectors and then cable tied - seemed tight to me I have definetly fitted the T into the hose that goes to the turbo pressure sensor - the hose loops from the turbo sensor into the T, the other end of the T connects to the plastic bit with the round cap on (you can really see in the picture unfortunetly) Sorry missunderstood the question. Will check when I get home. What should it be?

I started with an Starlet CONGRATULATIONS TO HER

I really liked the episode. The reason they didn't stick on a turbo I assumed would be because of time - remember (in TV world anyway) they had 2 days only to perform all the the mods. A few points were however - I agree brakes were a waste of time - pad and discs would have been better and I bet they increased unspring weight alot, especially when combined with the alloys (£600 alloys are not going to be light weight are they?). Geometry was miles off on the new suspension Suprised they didn't install an induction kit and exhaust (although they did do the exhaust after they had officially finished the project) If the turbo was too time consuming then NOS should definetly have been used (its not like they were on an aircraft gunship like with the 1st Stig!) And being realistic, I don't think they were ever going to beat the Evo 10 time, but its entertaining all the same!

You are correct, should be 0.7bar on first turbo and 0.8bar when the second turbo kicks in. Engine stuff is exactly the same between the two cars (except I have VVTi like on some of the later Supras) When I start the car it is at around -11 psi. Would you agree I have taped into the best location? I mean if its a good enough location for Toyota it should be good enough for me.

Hi guys, Recently I have started the process of getting myself to the holy grail that is BPU. I bought a HKS Boost sensor and connected it into the vacuum pipe on that goes into the Toyota Turbo pressure sensor. I cut the vacuum pipe, put in a T and ran some 3mm rubber vacuum hosing to my sensor. Trouble is the MAX boost I hit was a measily 4.2psi! I thought something can not be right, so I thought the hose might be kinked or leaky (it was quite tight), so I replaced the old hose with a new hose and used longer hoses so everything wasn't so tight. Went for a blast and came back having hit 4.3psi! My car is stock yet apart from a 1st decat but I should be hitting much more then that. The car actually drives well and pulls smoothly and strongly so I am at a loss as to why I can only peak at 4.3psi. This pic hopefully explains better: http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/boostsensorinstall.jpg I know the location I have tapped into is the best one to use since it goes into the same pipe the Toyota Boost sensor uses. My car was up at Charlesworth Motors a few weeks back (work on alot of Toyota/Lexus cars especially Aristos) and when they drove it they said it drove well considering the stock level of tune. Surely if I was really hitting 4.3psi the car would hardly move, but if I am to believe the HKS electronic boost sensor I must be? LOL When I first start the car the guage is in the minus (around -11psi). Is this normal (never had a boost guage before!)? What can I try? Could I have a leak? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Anees
