your brave lifting the bonnet on your na supra? :(
trebor69 replied to samuel weller's topic in Supra Chat
I'm an N/A driver (daily) and its my baby, its my 2nd, the extra power of a turbo would be nice but they aint got the reliability that we have ...........I don't care what anybody says about it but I can tell you this , for every critical ONE there are 20+ droolers . One day I may look for a TT but only a totally standard one ......reliability again you see .......more money = more problems -
May not be relevant but check fuses too .

Are they working now ?

I bet its absolutely filthy under the bonnet

True story .........thanks for pointing that out

Item number 121118867339 .........must be worth this in parts ??????

Ahh its only a scratch, ...now, when I caught my finger in the alternator fan ........that was a sight to behold
-
Only thing that springs to mind is excess stresses on the pulley .....belt having to work harder pulling other pulleys round .....are all of your other ancilliaries turning freely .....alternator/power steering/tensioner/aircon etc .......they should last way longer than yours seem to be doing One other thing causing the rubber bonding to fail is excessive temperatures heat or cold ???

I always use Opie for my oil and filter and never had a problem .....5w40

Just done mine too and it was the same on my Celica when I decatted that .....there is a sleeve that sits proud , out of the back of the first cat that the second cat slides over, this has to be "cut" off and made flush for the decat pipe to marry up and seal

5w40 fully synthetic is in my 94 N/A .

Well I took a reading earlier at 4800rpm and it seems that the "noisewatch" app is less effective than I had estimated giving a db reading of , wait for it ....................71 db .......................again !!! Gonna have to get this done properly at some point but not sure where yet ......still sounds the same on tickover as it did before I took the 2nd cat off but sounds crisper on acceleration . I will not be taking my car to any tracks by the way so no noise restriction will apply there .

From what I can see mate, this is the way forward !!

Well I fitted my 2nd decat yesterday (Whifbitz) ....still have 1st one on at the mo (but not for long) so I have stainless 2.5" system from 1st cat back and after measuring the db's with "noisewatch" app downloaded on my phone it measures 71 db's at 2k revs, this reading was taken about 12" from tailpipe .......Very happy with the noise level and will be proceeding full steam ahead with the removal of my 1st at the earliest opportunity I understand that this reading is probably not deadly accurate . N/A .
