Very nice! Where did you get the cam gear cover from?

Do it

Unless you have a built auto

Is this the same rex that was at Bluewater when I was there, cause that was bloody quick!

Well that clears it up! What would I do without you guys

I know the UKs had steel turbos that take a bit more to spool so I guess thats why they had to upgrade the cams and injectors to match the power of the J specs ceramic turbos. Strange Now wheres my pudding...

The link above states all the differences but I cant argue, I didnt write this rubbish lol.

Why is this crap all over the web!!!! http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/specs.htm Wikipedia - a twin turbocharged Toyota 2JZ-GTE making 276 hp (206 kW; 280 PS) and 318 lb·ft (431 N·m) of torque for the Japanese version. The styling, while modern, does seem to borrow some elements from Toyota's first grand touring sports car: the Toyota 2000GT. For the export model (America/Europe) Toyota upgraded the Supra turbo's engine (smaller, steel wheeled turbochargers, bigger fuel injectors, etc.). This increased the power output to 320 hp (239 kW; 324 PS) at 5600 rpm and 315 lb·ft (427 N·m) at 4000 rpm

Oh really? So both UK specs and J specs had the same power even with the UK having bigger injectors etc?

Yeah thats what I meant saying hoses meaning the whole assembley with fixings. The rubber braid is no good but the teflon seems pretty good. Nothing compared to some 20 year old aeroquip I have in the garage from one of my dads old builds lol that stuff dont even bend!

Ive replaced all my shabby hoses with them thats solved all my leaks. There the only brand I have used although I have found the're a bit stubbon to clamp on the hose but once locked on, its on!

Yep, J spec TT figures. The exports had 320hp mate.

So what about the catch tanks whifbitz sells with an inlet from the exhaust side cam cover and a breather filter? This is what I have although there is another version where a pipe comes from each of the cam covers then another pipe exits the tank and goes to a vacuum source.

Its definately in the final stages just keep at it bud!

First time ive seen this thread dude, im really liking the look your going for I cant wait to see this with some colour on

Exactly! Theres no better way to know your engines fubered

Well you certainly gave a better explination than me I thought about plumbing the hose straight back into the scuttle panel with a filter on each outlet as its hidden from grime and still vents nicely but it just means using more fittings, I think for what the op wants is a cheap alternative which for breather hose, torques is more than suitable for this imo but its down to him.

I personally think they are just as good mate and remember Hodge saying somewhere the same thing. Real good quality for the price and if they can hold the oil pressure on my single they can hold the air pressure of a breather I have a whifbitz polished catch tank if your after one, im routing mine under the car so I dont need it.

I think so mate, ask TheTurtleshead as he has just done his and I would like to know also.

Results?

Hi and welcome Theres a nice selection of supes in the for sale section, although you will have to pay a small fee in order to become a member to browse the classifieds. Are you after a manual or auto? You can get a nice single auto for a good price at the moment. Good luck with your search!

Hi all, I booked my car in a few weeks ago to have the transmission diagnosed to see what the problems are before sending the box back, but the guy couldnt plug hes machine into the engine diagnostics port as there is a little plastic grey thing bridging 2 of the ports and also there is an alarm cable wired into one of the ports too. I know the alarm one shouldnt be there but as for the plastic grey thing is this a normal procedure to remove before a diagnostics test? Thanks

Ive got the dye sitting here ready it cost me £30 on ebay. I just need to get round to stripping the old out and cleaning it.

Yeah anything can be done, just chop it about abit and figure out what needs to go where and bond it altogether. Everybody part on my car is a mix and match and I managed to do it all myself with a bit of time. A bodyshop should be able to do it easy.
