TheTurtleshead Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 You need to be like me and just not use your car in anything but the sun NEVER! Driving in the wet is the best. To be fair, that pic was early morning and what you see there is mostly condensation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Tried bolting an engine mount on as a test…. My fears were confirmed when it didn't clear the downpipe from the first turbo… Officially lost patience with it now.. I can't believe how crap this HKS downpipe fits!!!! Previously it fitted the waste gate re-circ really badly, so I removed this. I then let the downpipe sit naturally on it's flexi, with no strain on it at all, as it should be. I then made the 2 in to 1 collector for the two downpipes, matching up to the downpipe perfectly. Finally today I re-made the re-circ pipe as in the pictures above. Gutted it doesn't fit… but it's been shite from the start! Now it's the only part left in mild steel, so I've ordered all the parts to make it in stainless… and just like the other downpipe I made… IT WILL FIT PROPERLY!!! What a load of crap I thought I was all done with the exhaust parts. Bah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierracossie Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 What radio antenna are you using? I want to have one of those. And on that field harness/extension from ECU to original. Do you know a place that could have just the loose connectors to AEM V2 30-6100? Tried contacted AEM directly, but no answer. But the car looks killer.

Providing you have pin-outs for an AEM V2 and a supra sat in front of you, you can make any wire match up to any other surely? Is that number you've quoted a sensor of some kind? In addition, I thought the AEM's had an oem spec connector and were plug and play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
