Noz

I left mine in mate. Didn't make an impact.

Only issue with true front facing is it's mighty close to the pulley and you definitely will need a OCD steering res fitting. The TT one isn't angled enough. The throttle body will also be tiger tight to the pulley.

But much easier to contend with than a fuse box relocation.

I still had to relocate the battery into the boot. Angle or no angle bro you'll still need that intercooler piping to come from somewhere!

Are fair enough on the boost creep. Sounds typical for your diagnosis buddy.

Yeah I will update it when it's pretty much done. I think I just got fed up of people saying I'm copying Ibrars wide kit. Even though mines OEM styled and full metal. Next few months maybe as it's finalised in paint.

FSM parts looked amazing even from when I first started viewing NAt bits. Always liked their stuff.

I nearly went ffim with an eBay setup. Glad I didn't. Intake manifolds are so harsh and aggressive usually. If you can get a nicely flowing one internally than its super awesome.

I was lucky and imported a manifold with a cnc machined base. Like integrated little trumpets.

Have you still got the buttyfly valve working on the NA intake? The one that splits the 6 cylinder part of the manifold just before the runners.

Seen a few threads on US supra forums but never a full guide.

I'm going to make one that uses a bi-beam projector, so it passes MOT with that headlight in. I advise going down the same route, otherwise it's a swap out.

I used to have a thread mate but I stopped updating it when the updates became too intense lol bloody five years it's taken.

I should update the thread really.

What kit did you see on the dizzy removal. I think whifbitz will put me on TT coils.

I preferred a cheaper manifold because 1k is a lot on one. It's easy to repair but the internals never look quite as pretty. I've had mine ported to improve it. But it's worked for me so far.

I'm surprised it's at low boost you've got the problem. I've always understood boost creep as the surface area being unable to flow enough volume. As the volume of gases requires increases from mid range upto top end. I struggle with higher end flow. Boost ended up going back into the engine.

I wonder if it's a boost control issue you're having rating than a spike due to lack of volume flow. As surely a smaller port would struggle even more as the rpm increases and the amount of gas volume increases also.

What ecu are you on?

I have one spare I was going to use it to makes triple gauge pillar if Jake can't find his

What wastegate do you have. Do you get boost creep? What indicates gates too small.

Mine was on my old setup. It was 37mm. I've changed it to 60mm now and modified my eBay manifold to suit a larger aperture so it can flow. But it's an eBay gate and I've no idea if it will work okay!

Tuner might bin it and charge me lol!

I'm aiming to ditch the dizzy when I get the syvecs installed. It's an ignition failure waiting to happen. Definitely consider it.

If you buy a loom. Keep me in touch. Maybe we can buy 2 and get a discount mate.

I've seen the HP academy videos advertising. They do look good. I'm about to start an MSc end of the year, so I'm studying hard already researching otherwise they do look tempting.

What manifold would you go with? I had my wastegate tubes cut off and relocated to sit inside the bay. So I can work on the gate without lifting the car. Most manifolds point the gate under side.

Where is yours at the moment?

That car is amazing. Wish I had the funds spare.

Ah good you've sold one problrm shame about the cold start.

Do you think it could be wiring?

Part of my maintenance when it's back on the road will be renewing all the wiring and any aging component. I find a lot of crap earthing locations since I've begun reviewing my stock wiring.

Yes mate I'm NAt. I'm R154 and have lowered compression so I'm hoping I can manage 600hp without too much hassle.

Syvecs to be installed once the paint job is finished. And other jobs!

I do miss though my first setup running w58 and just boosted. The 2jzge throttle body was a pleasure to drive. After market cable and throttle body make the car a bit clunky!

The dream would be vvti. I've got a spare engine in bits. But I'd love to pickup a vvti engine and swap the head. Is your facelift running vvti?

I've gone with a Setrab cooler. To give me some room for movement AND because it's going behind my intercooler, I've gone for 25 row 235mm.

You can also get a fan for that size. I mean, it looks awesome, but it costs a small fortune and probably overkill if I'm able to locate it in a free-flowing air path. The fan though, so look cool!

I've never noticed, but a lot of places advise to use rubber mounts. Is that to reduce chances of leaks on the coolers? With flexible hosing, I'm just curious why people advise that. I've ordered 4x rubber mounts, just as good practice.

Dude whatever happened to the problem.

I'm just being nosey and saw you had a s300 series turbo. S360.

I don't know anything about the BW series turbos.

Which set up would you advise from experience with your turbo so far.

Mine weren't mate. I've two sets. Don't fold either. I'm lucky they even adjust lol

Want to try my hand at fitting some of these; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153206856781

Can't seem to come across any information about how to take apart the mirror section. Don't want to try and do it without some guidance.

Whifbitz sells them but states their kit doesn't work on lightweight bonnets, any idea if your setup would be fine? I'm not totally sure why there would ever be an issue personally. Just checking compatibility. I have a carbon bonnet.

Ignore the attached. The above image is GE. Title says.

Bloody phone uploaded wrong one initially. Butter fingers!

Only thing extra for NAt is on the pressure regulator line, use a T and connect in your dump valve. That's all I had to do extra.

Hi Mark. Was no where near needing a kit. I'm able to buy the full kit now please as I'm currently using wood! Lol.

When are they available Please?

It's always been advised to have an oil cooler when adding a turbo. I've had a cheap one but not experienced 600hp running so while I'm relocating it I thought I might as well upgrade it.

It's for engine cooling. No track use. Just 600hp NA-t low compression (TT headgasket)

Both makes of coolers do look top notch. Are coolers with fans overkill? I've not seem anyone say, ie, you need a fan on your cooler for 1khp or whatever.

How big did you use mate?

Currently using a random eBay one. Having to extend the line so want to get a brand name.

Amy recommendations please?

2022?

Lol before yours mate that's all you need to remember lol

Let us know how you get on Noz. My windscreen is scratched to buggary so was thinking of replacing at some point but didn't realise there was a heated one out there. The heated windscreens are the only good thing about Fords;)

Will keep you posted on it mate. Can always pop down Plymouth at some point when it's all fitted for a cheeky look. Hoping to be back fully on the road in August.

Needs to be a 20amp relay I believe. Speaking to Paul Whif he said its a huge current load.

I'm having one collected in next week or so. Got a friend driving up. Whifbitz deliver but as they say,it's pretty risky and at own cost. I'd prefer to collect. Bristol isn't far from where I'm too either.

Surprised it's not an Oem option though.

Kinda.. 3 last sets I have are going into returned headlights I'm going to sell. Then that's it!
