TheTurtleshead Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Plenum install finished! I was waiting on the last few bits to arrive, including getting the TB back from the machinists. O-ring groove in the back of the TB to remove the need for a gasket, other works to the TB include- -Adapter making for supra TPS -New butterfly shaft was made for the new TPS -Butterfly bearing apertures machined deeper so I could fit seals onto the shaft to stop boost leakage via the bearings. Also had to modify the IC pipe up to the TB, shorten and increase it's angle. New PHR PAS pump adapter fitted, to clear IAT sensor in bottom of TB. Because of this I decided to move the reservoir to under the engine box in the corner of the bay. All back together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Haven’t updated this in ages... not much to report, but I’ve done a few bits! -Picked up an RMR Throttle body, couldn’t resist despite all the work I’d put into machining and making the previous throttle body to IC pipework. I had to make a new pipe and mess around with bosses for the PAS speed valve and the IAT sensor...but it was worth it, it looks ace and matches the manifold. -Made a new centre box to fit the new intake, with customary gold foil. -A friend turned up nice little strap to ensure the IC pipe doesn’t come off again like it did on DB. Thanks to Dom, I borrowed his Tig to weld on the mounting boss. -Also got a nurburgring lap in on DB, and nearly binned it! Got a cheeky pic with Mr. fitz under the sign.

TheTurtleshead Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Picked up a C’s shifter, need to try it out see how I feel. Had a bad experience with a B&M one before so I am sceptical. However these are raved about frequently so I’ll give it a try Edited January 30, 2018 by TheTurtleshead (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
