I only stand in when I see others being knobs LOL Most people jump on people struggling with simple things. I try and be the guy that helps the easy questions. Before others show people the search bar. Now they're the idiots.

Mini feature / review of my car on BOTB - thought i'd share
Noz replied to Project Blitz's topic in Supra Chat
Nice car, pretty sure that's not ridox rear arches though. T88, wow, proper retro that. Like the aero on the trial rear. -
Just read the plate on the left hand side. Should see something of value there.
-
For sure mate. I've not tried a huge range of tyres but I spin with anything else I've tried. Which celica. Owning a gen 6 was really what got me into the Supra scene
-
Found a couple of old photos with the stock body and new wheels. Forgive the dodgy front wing, was an old version of the widening process I was experimenting with. As took a few versions to get it right.
-
Electric turbo's are still under rated. Torqamp really hasn't been utilised as much as it should have.
-
Thanks mate. I'd had them for a couple winters myself to be fair. Just a shame can't get 325, only 305 r888r. Sadly I don't have a heated garage, oh the joys of such luxuries though if I could manage it.
-
Just travel yourself. Get the car delivered. You will pay more for a mappers time than having it delivered. If they're any good of course. Cheap local ecu map downlowners might do it. But why risk it. Just get car transported lad. Making it harder for yourself otherwise.

I've let him know via messenger you're seeking him out.

They lack scope on sensors I think people avoid them for that reason. And they lack capability of newer systems which people prefer. Craig should be able to check your tuning surely. If he's supplied the turbo. Its upto you lad. I've given you my thoughts. Up to you if you think it's worth the risk.
-
You can see it leaning out yes. But would be too late if something extreme were to happen. The emanate ecu only kicks in when there is boosted. Rather than own a dedicated map of its own. Its a piggy back of the oem map. Its likely the failed turbo caused flow issues. Therefore caused over fueling due to its inability to supply air. At a guess. Map it on a dyno. With fuel pressure read outs and knock sensors. This is serious stuff, adjusting a map in your passenger seat may save you coins but cost you an engine. Add me to the list pal. No worries at all. I'll respond on my wall as see you've asked for help there also.
-
Didn't check date stamp sadly. Will check when I get a set next. Even new. Sadly will only be able to get 305. Rather than 325. Unless I import them. Hopefully be fine for traction.
-
Seems like it!! Got lucky. Will get new series 2 r888r next year. Fingers crossed it was just a one off situation.
-
I widened the rear inner arch using steel work. To match the outer arch. So no gap and wheel swings right inside the arch. Front liner. I bought two sets. Cut them in half and offset them to allow for extra width. Then rivet together and seal. Oem fitment both sides.
-
3.5inches per side mate!
-
All fixed now. I hope my wide arch one day inspires some other creations
-
I find this so hilarious lol... Fitment on these wheels is sick. Mad to think they I uses to love how wide they were.
-
-
Using an old wheel as a spare, as had to limp home. Found how funny it looked. Wheel used to fit nicely. But now, well, lol 10J looks like a space saver. Found it funny, thought I'd share. Car was black before the OEM widening. 20210924_121942.mp4

I'll ignore this post until I've got the winter tyres on later today. If you'd read the post, it said the juddering seems to vanish when clutch was in. Surprisingly, blowing a tyre does cause some juddering at 80mph, but I'm hoping you figured out the juddering was with air in it I have noticed a missing weight on the opposing wheel. So until I've driven it with new shoes, I won't make any assumptions to the cause of the juddering (unlike your post does ) Nope. Nothing. Have a line for the air cups there too, all fine.

Herbie. Using Caps makes it harder for read. Please don't use caps lock on when typing bud. Craig at rocket dog, would have just placed the turbo on the manifold. It looks like a generic T61 turbo to me. The 70/68 refers to the spec on the exhaust turbine. The T61, usually means the inducer wheel is 61mm. Though these have often been bigger, and some closer to 68mm. The T4 is the flange specification. This is the 4 bolt, rectangle pattern for the exhaust manifold. Unless you are able to source from the original supplier, in the case of generic turbo's its going to be critical you have a remap. If the new turbo flows more efficiently, you risk leaning out, and blowing the engine. Here is the nearest solution I can find for your sizing and HP rating; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234080965649?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=234080965649&targetid=1279039638849&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1006707&poi=&campaignid=12126078222&mkgroupid=126374355007&rlsatarget=pla-1279039638849&abcId=9300480&merchantid=115752149&gclid=CjwKCAjw7rWKBhAtEiwAJ3CWLGYcmpSkAyEotJi4lk0niKncGDWMjBPEclEtVg9exzttZ1Cn-gcGihoCRWUQAvD_BwE Another option is spending a bit more money on a main stream supplier turbo. I'm not selling my Garrett 62mm OCDworks turbo just yet, as tagged by the wonderful @tayr . A competitor to the T61 from this era, is the GT35 turbo from Garrett, however the term "GT35" was then copied but many other generic random turbo companies. So GT35 is now a similar sized turbo but from random generic companies. Here is a GT35 tubro utilising the T4 flange size for your manifold. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224326582640?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item343ae80170:g:G60AAOSwcCpgDO8-&amdata=enc%3AAQAGAAACkPYe5NmHp%2B2JMhMi7yxGiTJkPrKr5t53CooMSQt2orsSvtkx670Z0mbyfWqmxLFLYbL1UfRi9hdlOGVHsYm1amKIHKbHimitaSgrlJqfN3wsekvfoCpYw8ebAXDA2z1aoSYuFITV0lLUQZazh%2FXV7KFaL7mu5PyYOyjOX%2Fs8aSUXie3OnsogmKFh8UrUWYh0OWINAGcKmnOCOPNpj3k72JRT%2BSeuY4vb2p1ACHaJLp2%2FS0QsJbKLd5%2BO%2B%2BJx7Xr%2Fvcu7Mz%2BTG6cCfC6tOeNK5YZFyAmAvMKGcb1iKTrMlye3zSQI789Y0%2BWFI%2Bs0TFd58OeZb78XGQ6WMWiGFHMknU6nnHjZ96cr03vLW3f7tbYtWEC2Epnb5KwXRqHxYMiqh%2FsDX9b6tSyHb8j3AMo4likXOkerfMg6hgzefagUxPgj2RFBY1FexHo0H9qaM81SiqgOLtreSYdlZ1ioyrfb6U%2Ftc0K%2BRo5mpIEatwF3vkQ1k%2FTXum%2FNpNSRQwddMhrF9yXi821tV%2BeNv4wyDoGSIvDPrsg0m3BpcK19gWP%2BeUzAVr2PZK7MsSpPcsccUatXLRUerZaoaRP7VDFOUatpU7nrOwv0vug6Ynhh%2BKJJqbE6tkP%2FNzXsV5EiGZhsEjGDG3oIu2pCHAgFL%2B20mysJlcWIH%2BcQkwzDLs8o1KI0MnrXJPI%2BNkyTnDyphLLYWykQ9RWvwEgkwFpu357QAZqiD9gWHlsifQN21S4VREQFLWQbELsR6APxQ0uxpHL4D2MphUIFPNOnfUx5MDiRDHeXZAqsatQOBt6gj%2B97d5L63LlM3XUhXwDtAAFQa0o5BQzebHGx%2BMFqPC8U6TwfZGUL69W7NaYUFJ5PnElOzGSGXwza|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2334524 You have to keep in mind also, the exhaust outlet. I expect it will be 3 inch vband. As this is the typical size until you get to a huuuuge sized turbo. Either of those would produce similar results expected to your old turbo. eBay search GT35 turbo, match the T4 flange size and take your pick. Remap is going to be essential. The least you can do, is remap it on the road tweaking the fuelling. I wouldn't waste time trying to rebuild it. Just get a new one. If you're unsure about buying another generic turbo. Whifbitz offers a good range of Borg Warner turbos for I believe less than a grand. That is what I would do in your situation. Cheaper turbo's have less quality checks and have a higher statistical chance of failing. Though my old one has lasted nearly 10 years of boosting (with the new owner), it's a gamble on a new generic made turbo with no history.

Not sure on total age. I've had it for two years. Got them second hand and to be fair cant remember the age of them. Looked brand new when I got them. Not sure what Toyo would even do? Oh wow. Exactly the same though. How weird. I thought being sift compound and having minimal wall stiffness would be the cause of those tyres would definitely have had extra wall strength and still done it. Scary! What did you do. Speak to Goodyear at all?
-
Anyone had similar, had a few exciting pulls earlier in the day. But cruising on the motorway when this happened. Got lucky really. Was incredibly easy to control and just pulled over. Lucky wheels totally fine.

I've not seen it personally my neighbour had a notification few days ago when he went to sorn it saying he's got to pay. I've just looked online and can't find anything either. My friend was wrong. Fake news alert. Sorry

E85 fuel lines? You have to pay a fee now for sorn!
