Craigs policy of arriving in a van and paying cash is my favourite on a dibs note, its going to be first to come or bank transfer secures, my inbox is melting down, Those who iv agreed things with and sent my number please call me tomorrow befor 5pm and after that il put my number here for every one else, thanks

Ok I need some space in my cave for a new arrival, and have a few supra spares I havnt used or invisage using for a while: An NA engine £75. Will sell any parts required separatly if you want for cheapish . . eg ALT PAS, Cam covers and manifold, mounts, block, head, whatever . . W58 Manual conversion, I was keeping this as a spare as I thought mine may give up the ghost, but its been two years now and running strong, flywheel box prop master slave pedal hardline clutch ECU, only thing required is the gear surround £475 ono Volk racing, forged 1 piece wheels . . these have got to be some of the lightest 18in wheels about, need a refurb to be mint but still passable as they are (see pics), front tyres can be used, rears are gone. 18 x 9 ET45 and 18 x 10 ET48, Clear UK brakes £225 ono Location Harrow NW london

well . . .iv got the larger injectors lying arround, iv ordered a 12psi pulley and im winning a dastek on ebay . . . . With the dastec you can run a few maps, so im going to use a wastegate to limit boost to 7 psi on one map then have another for the full 12. befor that tho i need to sort a static pulley tensioner, bracket brace and most probably water inection to cool the charge . . oh and im sure i need a better clutch soon. My biggest incentive for water inj is as a drift car it doesnt see much airflow anyway for an intercooler or chargecooler and then the other advantages

A picture of the final set up, an extreamly lucky find on ebay and I was on a 200mile round trip like a shot to collect the a Vortech super FMU (top right of the picture) this saved me a lot of money and time wating for one from america. Blitz dump valve flange was welded on and a cold air shield and duct fabricated. So after a weekend of pining after a test drive in it whist involded in a 24 hr kart race I booked her in at power engineering for a test run. 104 bhp increase @ just under 7 psi . . .Job done . . for now

I was under the impression the Dyno measures drive train resistance itsself on the coast down after the run to calculate the FWHP figure.

This AFM is proven to be fine up to about 15psi in this location (source - http://www.lextream.com). I thought about all the above considerations, but would have still done it this way anyway to know for certain, in many other after market boosted aplications its also this setup (post compressor) and fine MX5s, hondas, 350zs , bmws etc. The nature of the vortech means there is little or no boost in cruising conditions anyway (The dump valve acts as a Compressor bypass too), In all the Post compressor sets ups i have researched the AFM having once reached its maximum capacity signals a switch to a super safe fueling map. An aftermarket ECU would be ideal, however this car is running the standard lexus ECU, (a 100 wires of fun) im a big believer in OEM ECUS, so i will continue untill it really does stop me, as opposed to might stop me. Il see how it goes, theres quite a few happy chappies on lextream with this set up, and a few strong indications that at this low boost no suporting fuel mods are required. when i dyno it i may see how she performs with the RRFPR disconected. My current pulley will only suport about 6psi, and this is fine for me, with my home made gearbox adaptor plate, w58 Gbox, and standard clutch, 10.5:1 compression ratio etc etc, running more boost is not really worth it to me (even fitting this is not necessary for me at all but I felt guided by fate to give it a go) gains at 6psi are excelent anyway (again lexstream for numerous dyno graphs etc) Also im a tightwad . . . . . its got me this far, this Car and all modifications is all in for about £2800 so far, Rising Rate FPR all the way! I would also like to say all coments are appreciated, . . theres always room for improvement, and im happy to explain / discuss any decisions I have made, if it wasnt for these topics online I wouldnt have contemplated such an undertaking.

Another box arrived today . . im boosting now, still a few bits to go befor I put my foot down

no thats a very good idea . . actually im upset i didnt think of that my self (i was brain farting along the lines of bracing it from the front) it does flex a little bit too much for a 10mm steel plate, a simple brace would add piece of mind

A ford transit idler pulley and a belt from a saab were used . . but dont tell anyone!

oil return drain, made from some sensor already in the sump I wasnt using Its Mounted and spinning now well, oil feed and return sorted, belt aligned and tensioned, and even a filter sorted . . BFI anyone? Random pic of the car after I cleaned it for the first time since owning it.

How much are you after for this bung including postage?

Mods can this be moved to projects?

Mounting spacers for the charger, I made up on my lathe, had to get them down to about 86mm in the end With the charger mounted, I had a pack of 0.2mm shims to get it level with stright edge, very hard to measure acuratly, so we will see how the belts fare

Fitting the Fish bracket, the lower two bolts need a 2mm spacer (as acuratly i could measure with an engineers square and feeler guage) behind them to make it flush, the right side coil needs to be moved to the side of the engine, and one of the distributer wires re routed, or it would eb clamped by the bracket. There was also an inner arch clearance issue . . I hammered it well but the clearance wasnt enough so i had to use the other tool in my box, the grinder . .

Battery relocation, E36BMW cable . . from a M3 no less, motorsport aproved Box from some boat supliers, a good box holds the battery secure.
