lol! fair enough congratz to Button though 1.7 behind Vettel

absolutely amazing! 20th-5th!!! that was some awesome driving! Hamilton. the best unlucky driver in F1!

20th!?

a bit of both.fast spooling and smooth power delivery. and good constant boost: the "not so good" T61:

hope its sorted now dude???

with the sump drilled and ready for the oil return feed the next thing on the list was getting the nice new shiney silver snail kept cool& bearings lubricated with engine oil. luckily Craig could source the piping from a local place that could do exactly this sort of thing. but first of all me had to set about making the measurements and making sure that the flanges married up. this turned out to be more than a drama than first thought. our first drama with this part of the build was we had none of the flanges for the turbo side of the oil feed. the oil return turbo& sump side. we knew from the beginning that the oil feed was going to be from the oil filter housing. with this you can either tap a thread into the existing bolt that holds the housing to the block, or you can pay for the lexus bolt. fortunately Craig had a spare bolt laying about so we had the bolt drilled and threaded by another local company. with the same company we got the turbo threaded so that the banjo bolt could screw straight into the top and it would save us sourcing another flange for the oil feed. with the oil feed almost sorted we set about finding ourselves the flanges for the oil return line and measuring the amount of piping needed. with the securing bolt of the filter housing and turbo threaded measuring the oil feed wasn't a problem. all that was needed was enough piping to keep the oil feed out of the way& over the top of the engine. the oil return was slightly different. the local company who delt with our piping also had alot of flanges spare, just laying about...but finding something to fit was a bit more difficult then we first thought. we wanted a good solid thick piping from the turbo to the sump that would allow the oil to return freely being gravity fed. but the first lines we made unfortunately didn't fit aswell as we would have liked. we found some flanges to fit and measured the distance we needed for the oil return. we had the local company build the lines to the specs we gave them and the oil feed turned out fine the first time. but the oil return was slightly different. the flange on the sump side married up perfectly but the turbo side wouldnt quite fit through with the thick piping we attached. it wouldn't sit flush because the piping we attached was to thick and couldn't get past the exhaust side of the turbo&manifold. we also found it was to hard to bend past the base of the steering collum. so we set about fixing what we started. we found that using the 2jz water pipe we could get the oil return past the exhaust manifold and the flange fitted perfectly etc. once we had cut it to size we had the piping made long enough to curl past the steering collum and into the sump. and we had made by far the best oil return for a NA-T...may be a slight exageration, but it was probably my favourite part of the build with the engine out. we fitted the gaskets used sealant and fitted the oil return pipe & oil feed. and obviously the oil feed into the large bolt holding the filter housing to the block. jobs a good'un pics here: http://s1118.photobucket.com/albums/k604/SupraSte4lth/Supra%20NA-T%20build/Supra%20NA-T/ last picture shows a nice finished pic of the return

nice post! nice one on the driftworks lads for this one,legends lol! awesome!

reminds me of this site called barryboys... used to have disabled stickers for occasions just like these...unfortunately im all out after my last visit to a mates after seeing his evo on the drive

Or via Keron £35 posted ha ha Just ordered one so hopefully if it's not a bad connection it's a faulty sensor Thanks again guys! Really appreciate the input, sorry for the late reply.

Welcome back! Hope the new car will look as good as the old

Try the breakers on here Keron might be able to help you & Welcome!

looking pretty special you mean lol! kfc tonight?....uh i mean blockbuster!? ha ha

what the!? how'd you manage that one?! lol! cheers Chris leg-end

right then to the best bit it doesnt matter its the easy bolt on bit, because its the only bit that matters with the exhaust manifold off i set about wrapping the exhaust manifold and down pipe...quite well aswell i might add it would have made Michelangelo feel like an underachiever whilst i was setting about this Craig set about getting the turbo cold side outlet modified. with the NA-T he had come across a small problem with the cold side outlet. where it was positioned it was facing the chassis of the car. and not only a real b**** to get hosing on but it would ruin the air flow and ruin the hosing. so he modified his and now mine by welding on some piping facing the same direction as the induction. you can see it in the pictures and i think its a brilliant bit of engineering! ingenious modification! after everything had been wrapped and the turbo had been modified i put together the wastegate& then bolted it on to the exhaust manifold. we had to wait to fit the screamer pipe because thanks to craigs knowledge of the NA-T, he found the screamer pipe wouldn't fit past the chassis when putting the engine back in. so we'd have to wait. after i took the dizzy off we set about bolting on the exhaust manifold with the nice shiney new gaskets. with the manifold on we then set about fitting the turbo on to the manifold& were acting like kids on christmas eve. so we had to see the block in the engine bay after we'd fitted it the modified part was placed at the lowest part of the turbo so that the intercooler piping could go together nicely slightly more attractive than the over the engine route i've seen. right uploading the pictures is being a pain...so im going to go with photobucket links http://s1118.photobucket.com/albums/k604/SupraSte4lth/Supra%20NA-T%20build/

unlucky dude! i hope he gets whats owed him! and hope contacting the police gets it sorted for you! personnaly if the police thing doesn't go through i'd spend the next few months making his life hell

Cheers scooter we used these... But uh it still didn't want to give!lol! And I'll update at some point over the next 3 days works been a bit on top this week

link to my car on the dyno as an NA making 222bhp just to keep things ticking over... should get some nice videos of the car driving NA-T soon and get them up at the end of the thread

dude that sucks! i thought you'd have it sorted by now!? but bet you can't wait for that new wastegate to tip up hopefully all odd boost problems solved then

odd!? my wastegate has worked fine aside from some poor vacum hosing that was replaced. i guess only time will tell i would agree on the manifold side of things! but xs wastegates working for me. and the xs t61 turbo works for me, and i know alot of the drifters stick with it for the robustness of it. mine spools up at 2800-3000rpm and hits straight in at 100% straight through to the red line. check out my na-t thread for the dyno read out. at 8 psi its good for 380bhp...and even the dyno guy was suprised at the turbo.

It doesn't reLly matter what size hole you have drilled into the sump. You'll see the hole you need to drill if your going for the NA-T as seen in the pics above.shouldn't be too hard to locate once the sumps off. Sorry I haven't got anymore pics up, Internet problems at the moment... But basically as long as there isn't to much of a lip going into the sump your laughing.as it's gravity fed. It doesn't need any back pressure. And as long as you have the right sized flange for the oil return you won't have any leaks unsure of pipe size as Dr_jekyll squared the piping away& it turned out to be some awesome piping! good quality stuff hope that helps???

Was going to have a go at this today... But forgot I'd moved alot of my tools including my jack& axle stands to my parents as I may working out in Germany soon... but just an update, the abs light and triangle went off yesterday for about 20 miles of dual carriage way...is this normal of a broken circuit or faulty sensor???any ideas what this could mean?

was about 19:30 you were heading into town... thought it was chris but realised it was missing the BGW. i was running with the other half then we saw you parked up in the swimming baths car park. nice stock looking supra with aftermarket alloys and painted red jspec brakes! &Chris whats going on!? aint seen your BGW driving round in a while? lol

first things first removing your old exhaust manifold will make things easier. the next thing we tackled with the engine and gearbox out was the modification of the engine oil sump. the reason this needs to be done is so that the oil that goes into the turbo from the oil feed. has a way back to the sump through the oil return. we started by unbolting the sump. once we were happy all the bolts were out we took both parts of the sump & internal oil piping off. if like mine yours hasn't been off since factory then you may need some elbow grease when doing this. eventually it will give it may help to use a flat head screwdriver but try not to break or damage the sump to much. with the sump off we clamped the upper/larger part for drilling. people seem to worry about this part of the build.but aslong as your sump is secure and you have some good drill bits there's nothing to worry! you can see the point where we drilled through the sump in the pictures bellow. its easy to located being the turbo side close to the front of the engine... i believe its for the 2jz gte turbo oil return pipe??? Craig got started on this as i got to cleaning the lower sump seal area. next we tapped the threads in the two holes either side of the main drilled hole. these may need to be drilled quite far in, so make sure you do the measuring if you come to do it. and make sure when your doing this you have good tools aswell.as this tool managed to snap one of the thread tappers with mong strength we married the oil return pipe(sump side) to make sure it matched up and so that there were no don't leaks. with the sump now drilled and tapped it was almost ready to go back on...but before we could do that we will had to obviously clear out all the metal filings from the drilling. we used an air hose and clean rag here. whilst i was here then i also cleaned off the oil sump seal. this will need doing obviously, as this seal is very very important.and the more OCD you are the better. i used a sharp knife here to get the main bits of old sealant off and methalated spirits to clean the actual serfice. now that it was cleaned and it all fits perfectly we put the sump back on a peice at a time and not forgeting the internal oil piping. with this we put the large sump on first making sure not to leave out any bolts. then the oil piping and finally the bottom part of the sump. make sure you use an adequate amount of sealant. pictures here: http://s1118.photobucket.com/albums/k604/SupraSte4lth/Supra%20NA-T%20build/Supra%20NA-T%20build/

pm sent thanks guys i'll put the specs up at the end

awesome! cheers Rob! i'll drop you a pm
