And installed

Ohh pics off the turbos before.. During and after

It was on the road for a short period in sumer of 2020.. But it started smoking on start up... And i had already done the valve stem seals... So over winter i removed the turbos and had them rebuilt and associated pipe work refurbished by midland turbos.. They charged me £600 for the turbos.. Then put it all together with toyota turbo gasket kit ordered from amayama. So its altogether and stated it up after priming the oil feed pipes approx march 2021.. Ran it for 20mins with no more smoke.. Happy happy to say.. Turned it off.. Made a brew.. Started it again.. And. It started smoking just as bad... So did a compression check.. Cylinder 1 was 155psi.. 2 was 150psi.. 3 was 145 psi.. 4 was 90 psi.. 5 was 150 psi.. 6 was 155psi. So spoke to a few engine builders.. Then to whifbitz and liked the process they offered.. Dropped it of in early july.. Spoke to paulat whifbitz last week.. All the parts have arrived.. Cylinder head has come back from being stripped and rebuilt.. I have gone with a brand new short block.. I found a local vapour blasting company so the inlet manifold and various other parts can be restored to their former glory.. Agreed to some other refurbing work to the engine bat. So its probably about late August early September for from collection.. I advised whifbitz that im in no rush. So when its ready.. My other supra "800R" is being dropped off for a dct conversion. I will post pics of the engine when done.. And im sure paul will post of his social media Cheers Gilly

Hi all. Looking for info how to reset the main odometer on my supra. Any info out there? Cheers Gilly

Hi all. The clio cup has to go, ain't got the space to keep all, I so wish I did. The clio is mint, as new, 2004 air con model very very rare, then 26k miles 1 owner. Details on ebay link, no reserve auction ends on Saturday https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-Renault-clio-cup-172-only-26k-miles-1-owner-8-years-unused-Trophy-Williams-/224499782996?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

Send it to the USA, I have a contact in florida... expect much better money than UK or Europe... I have done the underside of my UK supra... I know what it costs.

Just done a sniff test on the radiator.. its not a head gasket issue...although the water system is pressurised. Bubbles over when hot with radiator cap off Also this arrived

Not wanting to buy anything second hand, amayama.com list a short block brand new for 4k plus shipping and then vat import duties. I'm asking if there is a short block new in the UK or Europe. Don't really think all this matching numbers stuff is a real thing on uk supras

Hi alll, my UK spec needs a rebuild, the saga continues. Compression is down to 90pisi on number 4, all others are around 150psi. So it seems cheaper to buy a short block than rebuild the old one, as it will need over size pistons after a rebore, and just want to keep it totally standard, not after extra bhp with this one Looking for a good deal on a short block new or old stock Any advice much appreciated Cheers Gilly

Thats what the workshop shows.. But I cant understand where the other one has come from... Just started the car.. All seems well...

There are 2 vsv there.. All connected and in place...

Aint touched the inlet manifold side... That vsv under the throttle cable adjuster is associated with turbo pressure

Nope its not that one.. Thats in place and connected

This is the vsv assembly that bolts on the side of turbo number 1

Hi all.. I have recieved my rebuilt turbos back from midland turbos.. Top job by them... Putting all back together. I have come across a vsv control valve or for some thing else.. I can find the location for it or the wire that conntected to it. I took loads of photos during disassembly.. But cant locate it in my photos. Can you help with its location etc.

Cheers Tyson... Facebook ..mkiv supra and parts for sale forum... is looking promising

Can anyone help please

Thanks for looking ))

Sent you a pm cheers

Hi there, did you find one in your garage ? Fingers and toes crossed

I'm wanting to keep it stock.. I will restore the old one if I can't get a better one... its double skinned and folded, they obviously employeed their origami skills

The smaller heat sheild fits down the elbow below the turbos

As per the title, need both turbo heat shields for my UK spec, the turbos are away being rebuilt, so would like to replace both shields with better ones if available. Ordered from amayama, but no stock and out of production Top money paid Here are photos of mine

Sold via ebay...

Yes welcome indeed... i bought my first supra, a uk spec auto in 2000.. silver with approx 20k miles on it... please share your stories.. cheers ))
