If it is the same guy, he bought and sold a set of Nur Arches. Now he sells replicas on ebay. Is there some kind of copyright attached to Noels work? It has clearly been copied.

I want one too! Trouble is you need to live somewhere like that to enjoy it!

Apart from the DP it's done and ready to run. Too tired for pics.. Sort it out tomorrow! Looks mega though

So once it was stripped, I: -Wrapped the DP and Screamer -Fitted the oil feed and rear blank to the block -Dummy built it onto my spare block -Made up the waste gate lines -Wrapped the silicone connector on the oil return -Drilled and tapped the EGT fitting into the manifold Tomorrow it shall all go on.

My Aristo makes so much sense as an Auto, it would be awful as a manual. An Auto TT makes sense as a daily, but not as practical as it's big brother the Aristo. An N/A auto is just terrible, no power to begin with. The auto saps what little power there is.. Not engaging in any way, they should never have been made imo! A 6 speed TT6 or Single is the ultimate weapon for me.

3 hours roughly from when I started...Not bad. Bitch of a job that!

The weekend is about to get busy!!! Will update more pics as I go.. I have a date with some twins

Regular changes really do pay dividends!! When I first got mine it was quite dirty inside the head. In a year with 3 changes or excellent oil, with some hard driving, it's really cleaned up the inside of the head. It's getting back that lovely golden hue

:limp::limp::limp:

Low boost. Higher boost will see the 5962 drop off where the 6266 is still making power.

Might get a tradership and just smooth bays at a flat rate of 2.5k a go

I wouldn't! Too many people doing the same thing, bored of that look. The bay looks great, nice shiny paint and a few choice things hidden, but most accessible. I also think it lowers the resale value.

Take the auxiliiary pulley off, run the car briefly and see if it's still there.

Better get a bigger paper round!!

Ahh I love this thing. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses!

TT head on an N/A Block... then custom turbo kit with a cast manifold... You know it makes sense.

I hope so I really think 6-700 is the sweet spot for a Supra. Can't wait to hang the arse out round many, many roundabouts on DB.

I'm aiming to make 600+. Should do it with my fuelling, cams and turbo. So long as it hits 600 I don't mind, anything more is a bonus!

Well if you're aiming to push that turbo all the way to 900hp you'll spank me on the straights with my little 62mm!

Turbo Kit Fwends....!

After a loooong day, in the pissing rain, wrapped a home made poncho of bin bags and gaffer tape, the cams are in and shimmed!! HKS 256/264 Stagger cam combo- Had these for 2 years almost. HKS Type 2 Cam Pulleys- Had these for 3 years waiting to go on! I must say HKS cams FTW! Almost didn't need to shim them... 1/24 wasn't in tolerance. I shimmed a load anyway to get them as close to perfect as I could.

With a fresh paint job from Baldy, and the T04Z slapped on, it will be a lovely machine Jazz! Keep the faith.

Productive morning! Ryan, even though he is stuck in Turkey due to heavy snowfall, kept our agreed appointment this morning for a little bit of remote base-map-tweaking! What a legend The car is now lovely to drive off boost, and the idle issues I was seeing are all resolved, so cheers Mr.G! Roll on the arrival of the turbo kit next week!

If Alex has the standard Syvecs Adapter harness, then to the best of my knowledge it's wired as below: Supra Pin 6A, will be wired to Pin 23 on the S6 plug. This will be configured to a spare injector output(Probably INJ8)/ assigned as KNOCK Light in PIN Configuration. Anyway, check the logs Alex!

The below is as I understand it, so the theory may be wrong.. but here goes! The logic applies when you are running a twin-scroll turbo and manifold. The engine obviously has a specific firing order. In an open/single scroll manifold, some exhaust valves will be closing, when others are open/opening and expunging their gas into the manifold. These exhaust 'pulses' will, in a single scroll setup, interfere with one another and stop the flow of the manifold from being as smooth. Firing Order: 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4. With a twin scroll arrangement, you separate the 123rd and 456th cylinder exhaust ports into two groups, thus the firing order of the engine means that the pulses of the exhaust gas do not interfere with one another. This pattern of separation also means that the timing of the pulses are equally staggered in each port bank, for one full cylinder firing cycle. The idea of the twin waste gate setup, is to keep these two groups of cylinders separate until they reach the turbo housing/flange. With a single waste gate setup, you have to have both halves of the twin scroll manifold joined where they meet the waste gate...which will remove some of the positive effects of the twin scroll manifold. In threory it makes a difference. The downside is: increased heat. More complication and less space to work. More to go wrong. Personally I'm an advocate of the Twin scroll manifold, turbo, with one large HKS 60mm waste gate setup. Tried and tested by HKS themselves to ensure no boost creep, and in a test on supraforums by PHR(I think) the single waste gate HKS manifold out-performed the twin waste gate, all singing all dancing Full Race Model.
