It might be worth a look on the Supraforums ( US ) as i seem to remember they have worked out how to insulate it better. that might be an aftermarket sensor though

@keron makes reproduction bars

Recently took the car in for more tuning to add more boost and the tuner said that after 1bar it doesnt make any more power at the top end due to detonation. It currently makes 1.2bar but has had to pull timing to keep it happy. He tried 1.55bar but had to target 10.8 AFR to keep it happy and it wasnt going to make much more power. He theory is that EMAP is too high and csusing these issues. The tuner blamed the manifold.

The level of detail on your rebuild is outstanding. Does it starting to look like a car again motivate you ?

Looking for a branded intercooler, 3" width minimum and I dont need the piping so core only is ideal, the sort of brands I am looking for: Greddy HKS PHR ETS Let me know what you have, condition and a price

Engine Type - 2JZ- GTE Engine Spec - Whifbitz 264 Cams, FSR Manifold, 3" downpipe, 44mm Tial Wastegate, 650cc Side Feeds Turbo - HKS T04Z with Open 0.82a/r Turbine Fuel Used - Tesco 99 Exhaust - 3.5" Twin Box Whifbitz Transmission - A340 Auto ECU - HKS F-Con 3.3 Mapped By - Dennis @ TDi, Thurrock Dyno Used - Rototest Power figure - 450rwhp Torque figure - 380 ft/lb Boost Pressure - 1 bar Excuse - Boost Controller Issues

I would Carbon Skin them, if possible. I think Piano black is a great for showing finger prints. What about a tinted laquer to give a carbon esq look ?

I looked at BCS and I decided on Bigg Red The car is looking great, and I am not surprised you have no complaints about SRD. dont think I have heard a genuine bad thing about them

Whos Stage 2 box did you go for ?

My missus booked this - Nikis Collection Navona It was a nice place to stay and we walked to most places, I find most the time its worth walking over public transport as you stubble across so many nice places.

I would do some reading of all the technical articles on here as they run thorugh the diff numbering and all the usual FAQs. Its a very good source of information. Gearbox wise, I wouldnt discount a CD009 box as a good option or a BMW box. Yes not bolt up but good options that have been done a number of times. Keep the stock fan, people have run them successfully on their 1000bhp+ builds. if your looking to keep costs down then a DBW throttle isnt load better ( depends what you want the car to do ) You should be able to pick up a decent exhaust for not a lot of money, people have run the 3" ebay exhaust with no real fitment complaints.

There is a Supra Breaker Called Keron, he posts on here about buying cars. He will probably have those bolts

The logic suggests its around the stuff you have touched in the spark plug process, It will be a plug or a wire or a connector
