  1. Thank fellas.. I've ordered a 19mm silicone pipe to run into the air filter pipe.

     

    No smoke at all from the filter. I think hot oil and fuel smell I could be getting mixed up. Just smell fumeu.

     

    Thats awesome Dim Sum will see how this 19mm goes :)

  2. I hope its not always 14.7 you should be seeing 11.2-11.8 under load/boost.

     

    lol absolutely the, numbers drop under boost.. As I said the fuel smell is mainly stationary when its at 14.7 and slow driving

    Take the oil cap off, have a smell for fuel ; you definitely do not want bore wash , eliminating the lubrication of oil from critical components like the trust, big end bearings

     

    Thanks mate will check that out, during my oil change a week or 2 ago no fuel smell coming from the sump..

  3. Yes Syvecs its absolutely remote mappable.

     

    Ryan was going to do it for me but I got Romain to do it instead as I thought it would be easier for the mapper to be with the car.

  4. You make a very good point. I don't think I did that when I removed my carbon canister, I might try this when I get some time and see if that stops the smell completely.

     

    Like I said before Paul, we are always doing the similar things on the Supra :D

     

    lol supra menstruation cycle :D

     

    Well it started once I added the inlet cam cover hose. And I assume that because the air pressure now going into the tank causing it to blow the vapour out of the breather.

    I have read on-line its rather common for a oily fuel smell to come from catch tanks and as its right next to the scuttle were I believe the air is used for the vents.

     

    When I drive its not there.. Due to natural winds I suspect. But before I moved the air filter breather the smell was always there regardless.

     

    I have indeed had the canister removed but its not that as I have located it, and I can actually smell the vapour from the filter.

     

    Thanks

  5. Hey all.

     

    I have a whifbitz oil catch tank and have both cam cover breather lines going into it.

     

    This causes a smell of fuel through the vents so I took the filter off and used some silicone hose to extend the filter under the brake servo.

     

    Its definitely reduced the smell but remains when stationary once the car has warmed up.

     

    Has anyone else experienced this or have an idea were to vent it to?

     

    I know a lot of people have AN fittings welded onto the crank case and run lines to the back of the car but I don't ant to go down that route.

     

    Thanks

    Paul

  6. Hi Paul,

     

    I think I've got the handle including the clip but I'd rather sell the thing as a whole.

    That said, I think these are really cheap directly from Toyota.

     

    Hi mate. Thabks for the reply. Yer i bet there a couple of pound from Toyota. Thought maybe a member had one kickin about ro put in the post using a stamp:d

  7. Yer always been fine for me no issues at all..

     

    But I have never tried to use there customer services. Never had too.

     

    But under the sales of good act as you haven't actually seen the item you and legally send the item back with 14 days.. I guess they have covered that but for a charge. Most probably to cover the expense of the delivery company.

  8. Tbh 2 of you similar levels are are fine. Me and my mate have done it all between us mainly on hard mode with a 3rd or 4th friend jumping in here and there.. but being solo means less abilties to take advantage of and no revive
