  1. Yep the list is looking very good so far, and plenty more that we know of that are going to be buying their tickets, so going to be a great turn out for this!
  2. I wouldn’t trust that mate, as I friend has just been ordered the same one for his facelift supra, same part number. Check the EPC and check the part number to suit your car, I’ll bet they are the same.
  3. I did not no that!! So they suit pre-facelift only? I know Koyo are now making AC condensers, but don’t know if it’s for facelift too. Lee at SRD will be able to confirm, as I know he’s got some on the way to him
  4. Another 2 available if you're quick https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185444099724
  5. I had a brand new AC condenser 88460-14310 delivered this week, so still available. Only cost me £430 in total
  6. We went over to and around France…
  7. It'll be fine, had my oil temp in the sump plug for over 15 years. If you managed to bottom out and rip that out, that will be the least of your worries if you managed to reach that low! lol I have oil pressure probe, which to me is far more important, in the lexus bolt mod, maybe you can use that for oil temp instead?
  8. Mine use to be a 90 degree when it was on a Chris Wilson SMIC, but when I switched to the ETS FMIC it had to be changed to straight down due to the route of the ETS piping kit.
  9. You may want to extend the outlet on the turbo to keep the silicon joiner away from the heat of that manifold mate.
  10. It switches to high boost map
  11. To be fair Harry, not everyone told you that when you asked on Facebook mate, myself included lol. But go look at Bignum's video's, and you tell me if you think the Borg Warner is laggy
  12. Yep it will do the job fine you are right Lee's a mate, so I'm going to leave the whole FMIC comparison there now Looking forward to seeing it running mate.
  13. The AFR's aren't perfect on a stock ECU, but it's passable I'd say, but not a long term solution for sure! Not brittle rings mate, the ring lands. But hey, everyones choices are different, and so is peoples advice. I was the same as you, run it until it blows lol
  14. Oh! Well yeah that's a different matter lol I wasn't thinking about those numbers tbh I couldn't confirm what the ETS 4" would be capable of, but yes you're right a 5" would be better at those sorts of power levels for sure.
  15. I have seen some data, and there's a big difference, and that was a 4" on both. It's more due to with the core design, but of course a 5" FMIC with poor core design will perform better than a 4" FMIC with poor core design. You've definitely made the right choice, 4" ETS is perfect. 5" ETS is for the silly high horsepower cars mate.
  16. Lol Don't nitpick and be a twat , you know what I mean I meant compared to just cruising around, whereas on the UK stock ECU it didn't drive as smooth, and felt 'laggy', on the Link and mapped it cruises and drives like a stock car. And with full boost at 4000rpm, and keeping it on boost with the right gear when kicking it's head in I don't notice any lag.
  17. Quite a few of us will be in Europe on a Supra blast for that weekend!
  18. Some really nice bits there mate, and I've just fitted a Koyo rad, first tests driving it shows it works really well! But I wish you had gone ETS FMIC mate!
  19. No I meant the actual wear that has already happened on the engine parts on an old tired engine. The tune wasn't the cause of my problems, ring lands going on stock pistons are becoming more and more common now. Luckily for me that failure caused a strip down of my engine, which then showed that the big end bearings had come to the end of their life anyway, beyond in fact, but caught just in time. We reckon if they had done one more hard run across Europe I could have span a shell! Which would have caused a lot more damaged, so I see it has a good thing my piston went when it did! A single turbo on a stock UK spec ecu will not kill a stock engine mate, a dyno run showed it would run ok fueling wise etc... Mine had a dyno run on 264 cams, which showed it to just start leaning out, but the cams were only fitted just prior to the trip down to SRD. What is true is that it doesn't drive great on a stock ECU, as in driveability, not the fuelling etc.. But after a proper aftermarket ECU, and a good mapper, the car now drives like a stock car, but on a single turbo. It's drives so smooth and is easy to drive with no lag It's the extra load of more boost or a single turbo on original parts, that have seen thousands of heat cycles and revolutions over the many years these cars have done now, that will show up the weaknesses and will cause a failure to a stock original unopened engine.
  20. Exactly, my Borg Warner 362 is at full boost by 4000rpm. Laggy it is not! Lol
  21. It’s the shell bearings I would be worrying mate if I was you, and the pistons, been there done that, caught one just in time, the other too late, hence fully forged now.
  22. Not on an old tired engine it wont mate. Best to rebuild it.

    Car insurance

    Not a wise thing to do at the moment, prices of second hand cars are changing to quickly.

    I’d say the new SE is definitely for you then mate Will last you a good many years I reckon.
