Ian C Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 we are allowed to sell an item, just not bulk items! its just like say for example you selling your cat say well we was selling a decat system, no harm surely Oh yes, selling one thing you've got kicking around is something many members do all the time. However: "have many front and rear de cats for sale " That's not 'an' item, that's 'many' items. Come on, play fair. It's a trade offer and you know it. You even offer fitting. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have recieved your e-mail regarding becoming a trader. I currently have 5 other trader/banner applications going on so you'll have to wait for me to get a free minute before I start sorting out yours. It's worth pointing out at this point that trader applications go before the club members, so make sure you make the right first impression with this lot as it is them who will decide if you can trade here or not. Please also take a look at http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/announcement.php?f=2&a=9 for what is and what is not acceptable from traders.

Pete Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 I asked Blitz UK this question and they've just replied. Please can you confirm something for me? If I were to decat a MkIV Supra the turbos will freely spool to boost to unhealthy levels. Commonly restricter rings are used to prevent this. I know your SBC-ID can raise boost above the restriction, but does it actually prevent boost getting higher in the decat scenario without a restricter ring and the turbos are free flowing? They replied.. The Blitz boost controllers are very good at holding the boost at the levels you require. The resolution on the boost control solenoid duty cycle is such that you should never get nasty spikes as you describe. I hope this helps.

Chris Wilson Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 It's a big help, it shows they need to get a new tech guy Pete: Is the correct spelling "restrictor" or "restricter"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Pete: Is the correct spelling "restrictor" or "restricter"? "or" not "er" I was somewhat dissapointed with the answer...this is the support dealers will be getting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Reminds me of that cute blonde yesterday in "the garage" (discovery channel) She dresses up like Tomb Raider, claims to be a 'petrolhead', very 'into' cars blah blah, but on a real greasemonkey environment.....come on...

Nick1980 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Ok, possibly slightly off topic, but what is the benefit of taking out both cats and using a restrictor ring over, say, removing only one cat and then using a boost controller to raise the boost as and when desired?

JohnA Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 ...bearing in mind that the second cat will have to be put back at least once a year so it can pass emissions?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1980 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Yep. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 what is the benefit of taking out both cats and using a restrictor ring over, say, removing only one cat and then using a boost controller to raise the boost as and when desired?I believe the theory is that cats retain a lot of heat and reducing that heat is a good thing, according to some people. IIRC, TDi don't remove both cats just the second one. ...bearing in mind that the second cat will have to be put back at least once a year so it can pass emissions?... Shouldn't have to if it's an early j-spec, they don't have to have a cat test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 .. Shouldn't have to if it's an early j-spec, they don't have to have a cat test. good point. Getting rid of the second cat helps volumetric efficiency a tiny-weeny bit and might reduce EGTs at full load a tiny bit as well. Plus you won't risk getting it melted inside and blocking (it can happen at high boost operation) If it doesn't have to be there, get rid of it.

Chris Wilson Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Reduces heat build up close to the engine and IN the engine bay. A ring is easily tuneable to get maximum desired boost with minimal back pressure, a cat isn't. Adding boost to overcome back pressure in a turbo exhaust is madness.
