Can you get some more info on these for me Chris I can imagine the 20 year old coils on mine although working fine are probably getting weaker.

Ah I should have said. The cold air feed is off in that picture, the filter is only on the turbo to stop anything getting in for the meantime. See how it will look once its all back (older picture) https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/579537_467777899963525_1739005348_n.jpg

OK so done a little bit of work on the car as I had some time spare. Decided to get the return oil line sorted on the turbo as it was seeping oil. Car as it was before I started removing parts https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/164215_489911387750176_33438322_n.jpg Intercooler and Boost pipe work now removed, here you can get to see how the V-Mount is positioned along with the ducting. https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/1005783_495627680511880_2069171341_n.jpg Started to unbolt the Turbo from the manifold, this took a little bit of time as there is pretty much no room to get to the rear bolts, in the end it took around an hour to get it off... https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/935100_495627953845186_1220554282_n.jpg One of the car with the turbo removed https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/67455_495628173845164_1536580609_n.jpg This shot shows the oil saturation on the return hose, this hose is a fireproof high temp hose so it can be reused. https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/970634_495628607178454_577006095_n.jpg Now the Turbo is on the work bench I can get a proper look at where the leak is coming from. I had always suspected the leak was coming from the flange gasket as it looked a bit moist. https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/998747_495629337178381_1308516293_n.jpg Removing the oil drain pipe showed that the gasket had failed. https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1075661_495788390495809_1782417629_n.jpg Although taking a closer look at the gasket it showed some damage running from the center almost to the outside edge, this must have been the cause of the leak. https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1000872_495789740495674_1427744444_n.jpg So I replaced the gasket and got the turbo reinstalled, I also added some more heat protection on the return hose just for peace of mind. https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/579581_497838293624152_1682705598_n.jpg While I was at it, I also noticed the wideband AFR sensor connector had evidence that it got a little too hot by the downpipe (was a little bit melty), therefore I decided to add some heat shielding material to the AFR connector and cable, again for peace of mind https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/549463_497851690289479_864776273_n.jpg Finally I also changed the Radiator cap with a new Whifbitz 1.1bar cap as the other one had failed. https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/1005191_497863333621648_651001929_n.jpg I then set about putting it all back together and this is how it now stands. https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/995938_497871070287541_1715409837_n.jpg I am setting about re-installing the downpipe this weekend and hope to get on with the rear upper bushes as well. I will then hopefully get to take it out on a test drive to see if the repairs and replacement parts for worn components have sorted out the vibration issues.

I watched this for the first time a couple of months back.. Awesome MKIVSupra.net history this...

I have heard very good things about their BBK's but not much about replacement spec discs. I can imagine they will be good quality though.

Hell no! I would not go out on track with cracked discs.... hell I wouldn't even drive a road car with cracked discs.

That looks fun What make of discs are they?

Or Large Discounts on stuff

Welcome

Aye it does Good feedback though.

Ah cool, cheers everyone. I have been making a few changes here and there and just wanted to make sure everything was still in line

Anyone have any Idea?

Just wanted to check, as I don't have a normal gauge to show how hot the coolant is but only a readout on my dash what should be the a "normal" temperature readout (In Celsius) Also what would you say the max temp should be? FYI - Hot Idle on mine is around 92'c with Electric fans on. On track its between 90'c and 98'c

That's a lovely stock example

Northampton

Any news on the Goodwood idea

Such a shame I wont be around for this... it sounds amazing Nice to see Toyota putting some effort in.

Bushes have arrived, hopefully the press I have ordered will arrive shortly

Cheers RecoProp did the work and they did match mark it I just wasn't looking properly

Yes they are supposed to be like that.

Cheers, slowly ironing the niggles (like heat management) out now

Installed my balanced prop and new diff coupling last night, will do a road test in the coming days to see if its got rid of the vibration I have been getting. I also installed some of the DEI Reflect-a-Gold heat shield on the car last night on the areas which are exposed to high under bonnet temps. This should aid keeping the charge temps down further.

Would just making sure the UJ's are in phase be enough?

Camskill came up trumps, bushes on their way

Hi All, Unboxed my prop from the balancers today so I can fit it tonight and I noticed that they shipped it in two halves?? The old prop was out a little so they added 30 grams onto the shaft to balance it. It also does not look like they have put any match points so I can mate these two sections back together correctly. They also removed the old rubber coupling and cleaned it up so the match points I made have now gone as well. Not really sure what to do. Help :help:
