David P Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You've been busy. Maybe you'll find it's too hot for the UEGO sensor located that close to the turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Great project. You've put a lot of effort into this and it really shows. Credit to you for doing it all yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, i am hoping the heat shield will stop the radiant heat and as the sensor is screwed through the heat shield it should act as a heat-sink... but that is yet to be proven! - - - Updated - - - Great project.

hodge Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You've got some fabrication skills right there bro. Very well done indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Has to be said, I never thought I'd see a Volvo part, in a Supra engine bay! Holsets have been used quite regularly on Supras (among many other cars) in Scandinavia, because they are very cheap and quite durable.

Krister Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Nice. Where did you get the Holset and especially in Billet? How much did it cost you? I ran the same turbo in my Supra a few years back but non-billet. You are going to love it, especially the whistle from the anti-surge ports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slutters Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys! The Holset is a HX52, Billet Compressor wheel with a 66mm In and a 99mm Exducer . It flows 88 lb/min and is similar to a gt4294r or gt4202r. Cost me £500 used. Will be interesting to compare to some of the other single Supras once Ryan G has worked his magic!

Definately will be interesting to see how it compares. I've always loved the holsets. By the way, did you port the exhaust manifolds waste gate hole? I've read the log manifolds boost creep quite easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slutters Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hi guys! Update time! Been a hectic few weeks but now it is nearly there! Got my copy OEM sideskirts/rear spats and front splitter painted and fitted Old of New on! Rear spats The car was now finished! Got my big K&N etc fitted Nice parcel! Expensive load…. And Now I could start the car, I found that the Spec twin plate did not fully disengage… So I brought a ¾ Master and upgraded from the stock 5/8 I also made an adapter to convert the Tilton to the stock bolt pattern New braided line to replace the soild line and all the joints New line made and covered with slevee to protect other items from rubbing Also got my water neck welded up And my new (used) wheels and tyres turned up! 315/30/18’s on the back and 295/30/18’s on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slutters Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Love this pic! Right next up I had some bad news, it seemed that the stock cams although UK spec would start holding the car back over 500HP so I bit the bullet and got: GSC S1 Inlet and Exhaust Cams Brian Crower Single springs and titanium retainers Whifbitz Alloy adjustable cam pulleys Whifbitz Billet tensioner (The GSC’s make it an interference engine) Alloy crank, Power Steering, Alt and water pump pulleys (Just for Dan.) Big warning for those thinking of going for the GCS S1’s! The valve springs bind up! They need changing to uprated ones! So all that work and I had to take it back apart Stock crank pulley off, took ages as no one greased it… Cam covers off New cams! New cams in After test fitting I measured up my cams and worked out the shim sizes needed! Thanks to dan for the awesome spreadsheet! Remvoing the old valve springs using the rope in cylinder method OEM Vs BC Swapping them out Big pile of old OEM ones if anyone wants them! Sent my shims away for re-grinding down to the correct sizes! All back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slutters Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 New bling pulleys ready for there new home Stock tensioner Vs Whifbitz Billet Fitted Whifbitz Cam pulleys New OEM belt on Shiny! All back together! Right that’s about it! Next up is to send the car away to Martin at MB Automotive to map the AEM for a setup and to see what numbers we can get! Will start a new thread with the info for that. Thanks for reading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
