  1. I am not too sure what an E85 conversion would cost but even at 1.17 a liter compared to 1.40 for petrol at least I would be saving some $ Really want to see how this Budget pans out in December with our 15 Billion required savings before I invest in anything Supra, I fear my road tax will jump to 2100 euro anoter 800 euro on top of my 1300 as it stands If you get a chance can you send me on Details for the Cam Seal parts Colin will need etc would like to order off Paul today, I need breather cam pipes ASAP
  2. Thanks Marty, I know the Syvecs will help towards a single conversion (no only useable for E85) but if Maxol stopped the Supply of E85 here , what is the outlay for E85 components , Larger injectors are re-usable but the only Item I can think of made redundant is the Flexi fuel device What would I loose if I got this done and 12 months later maxol pulled the plug on E85
  3. Looking at the Article, Maxol may cease to supply the fuel in the near future Any price advantage that exists for E85 over regular fuel may be further reduced next year, when the current Duty derogation that the fuel enjoys runs out. The Maxol spokesman said the firm is seriously concerned about the future of E85 “because current sales volumes do not justify our ongoing commitment to it”.
  4. So Marty, when are you specing me up for E85; finally an advantage to live in the south Only issue I can see how to get her mapped with you when the Fuel is down here Monaghan or Louth is the Closest to you As you can see E85 has increased alot recently E85 : Petrol Price equivalent €0.97 : €1.16 €0.99 : €1.19 €1.05 : €1.26 €1.15 : €1.38 €1.17 : €1.41 Interesting Article(Price rises for E85 make it less attractive) http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/motors/2010/1006/1224280455532.html
  5. Thanks Paul, I am just talking to Marty so looking at the options , think your kit is the wineer but I am looking at running a Flexi fuel setup E85/Petrol
  6. Whats the difference between Bullseye and BW or Garrett Just out of curiosity Paul, whey have you choosen BullsEye to go with your Kits?
  7. Smart Sun Glasses you just filled in your prescription online and they sent you the lenses Was looking for a similar service but in and around the same price, RX sport are nearly double the price I got my Oakleys and prescription lenses for 100 delivered, Rx sport want 180 pound just for lenses
  8. Looking for prescription lenses for my half Jackets I use to get them off http://www.smartbuyglasses.co.uk but they stop doing Oakley for some reason I looked at Rxsport but they are $$$$$ Anybody know anywhere
  9. Ah ok so it is covered in the Valve Stem Seal replacement Thread Thanks for the offer but Paul Whiffin got back to me on prices, only fair I buy them through Paul
  10. I think my Cam cover Seals need replacing, but talking to Paul Whiffin; can somebody expalin where the Cam Shaft Seals are? CAm Cover Seals look like easy enough job to do but what about the Cam Shaft Seals? Any advice on how to do the seals always welcome
  11. Thanks . will do a compression Test the weekend Worse case if a Piston Ring was Worn would driving her be an issue
  12. With all the plugs out, what ablout debris getting into the Cylinder?
  13. Found this too http://www.turbosupras.com/pdfs/JZA80%20TSRM/EM%20%282JZ-GTE%29.pdf hmm Cam Shaft position Sensor Anybody know how to disconnect the Cam Shaft position Sensor
  14. Is this Correct for doin a Compression Test, some threads contradic one another Halfords Compression Tester tool will do? Disconnect Fuel (EFI Fuse or Ignition Module)? Take out all spark plugs or do one at a time with 5 always remaining? Hot engine? throttle fully open for every cyl? Good Battery Results to be Expected Standard pressure: 1,079 kPa (11.0 kgf/cm2, 156 psi) or more Minimum pressure: 883 kPa (9.0 kgf/cm2, 128 psi) Difference between each cylinder: 98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2, 14 psi) or less 189 -190 on most engines that are in tip top condition And each Cylinder is very close to one another no big differences Missing anything?
  15. Thanks, no wonder I couldnt find it Coil pack connectors
  16. Ditto, I guess we wont be getting productivity employee of the month
  17. Replacing all 6 Clips, but how do you replace them they appear wired into the Loom, do you cut the wires? I see these two threads but they dont make much sense to me http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/parts/coil_harness/index.html http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=37607&highlight=coil+pack+clips+replace
  18. Thanks , you are getting around my posts in the last few hours
  19. Do you need to replace these each time you do a spark plug change? I can see them splitting each time you try to get them on /off or are mine just old Getting new ones during the week
  20. Thats true I could of caught some from the oil well, it was only on one plug, but definetly theres no smoke on start up plus when I start her up she is in an underground carpark so I would notice but I will take a closer look I will order the breather tubes today
  21. Was on Supra Forums looks like it is Valve Stem Seals for the Oil on the electrode of the Spark Plug,But it doesnt appear bad/ she isnt smoking For the Top of the plugs coil packs its the valve cover gasket's http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=448157&highlight=spark+plug http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=282692&highlight=spark+plug
  22. The rubber pipes between the cams,middle one was c little split ,g presume this caused the oil on the outside of the plugs and coil packs rathers than cam seals, also are new rubber hoses flexible ,i had to heat the one nearest the wipers to get it on, is it possible to put these back on without splitting them
  23. Just I got a miss fire last week and taught shit when is the last time I changed the plugs, so changed the plugs and she feels alot better but still not hitting 12bar,cant see any boost leaks ,will see again tomorrow how she goes its raining and traction is an issue, but the first plug nib in the cylinder closest the front was fully of oil ,the rest looked as expected
  24. Sorry, what does this mean if it happened
