Awsome mate . I'm building a track SUPRA in Australia and this build is inspiring me. Cheers

Cheers I'll go search for it.

Just finished reading this. Awesome project. What has happened to this car since?

....

So how much do you want for these ?

let me know if you make and are willing to sell to me !

Cheers Looks like no go then. Just gotto hope some turn up for sale ....

Hi all I want to order New side skirts from Toyota the optional ones. For the life of me I've searched and cannot find one. Any help wouldbe appreciated. Muz

If I was to keep the GTx3076R but change the rear housing to a 1.06 a/r instead of the current .82 would this help ? Cheers

Thanks for the response guys gives me a good idea wich way I should go. Cheers

has anyone use this turbo Ive pretty much settled on this for my street setup Ive got a spa manifold (log style) the gtx3076r with T4 .82 housing vband 3 exducer. tial 44mm gate and top it off with a 4inch dump . this is going on my VVTI . Im pulling the twins off as we speak but some internet chatter has put me off the GTX3076r saying it will choke the car etc. most seem to reccomend the GTX3582 my goal is to have a responsive street car not really interested in the dyno numbers . so what do you guys think ? anyone with experience with either turbo ? I can change the turbo to a GTX3582 but by the time I ship it back and pay the difference plus return shipping I will part with $600 bucks . money is not the issue if Ive gone down the wrong path . cheers Muz

there is a kit available that does away with the ecu controlled throttle its expensive but worth it if going single. http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/a80-mkiv-discussion/83895-vvt-i-throttle-control-override-kit.html

Im no expert but i am converting my throttle to permanent physical control with a conversion kit from japan. this will give you 99% control the only thing the ecu controls after this uprgade is the idle speed only ! I have a thread on this follow the link http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/a80-mkiv-discussion/83895-vvt-i-throttle-control-override-kit.html

Thx mate!

ive tested the pressure tank by taking off a hose on the iacv valve vsv and i did hear a hiss of air for about 2-3 seconds does this sound normal guys ?

That's sorted bloody cap on wastegate came off! Now that everything is hooked up correctly ive tested the pressure tank by removing one of the hoses and no air is heard hissing out does this mean the tank is failed? Ive tested right after a run. The issue is the second turbo does come online its this sound change and flatness after a gear change say at 4000 rpm

car feels much better THOUGH Ive hit a problem Im running the blitz sbc id3 and even with settings at zero once second turbo kicks in ive hit 20psi !!! Ive double checked the plumbing I have the pipe from the turbo pressure out nipple going to the solenoids IN and the pipe from the wastegate actuator going to the OUT of the solenoid. the first turbo is boosting to 10-11 psi but once we reach 3800 and the second turbo kicks in it just goes off the scale hitting 19 psi even though settings are at 0 on the controller hmm I must have missed something , so what controls the boost of the second turbo ?

Try photo shipping see if you like it. Red cars with black looks awesome.!

Yeah im hoping I just dont understand why they went top all that trouble? Essentially they were getting pressure reading directly from the IN port of the pressure tank! Im still tidying some areas like the intercooler pipe that was hitting the hole in the chassis. All the vibration against the chassis was eating into the intercooler pipe. It's common on these aftermarket coolers the hole is not big enough. Thanks for the ideas guys plus lots of research teaches alot!

The pressure outlet out the 1st turbo wasn't connected to anything it was just uncapped !

update Someone has disconnected the IN pipe to the pressure tank and put a screw in it to cap it off. Then they have put another line top the pressure tank wich then connects to the old bov line wich is then T'd to the pressure outlet in the Y pipe. You can see this in the picture above.! Ive reconnected the pressure tank the way its suppose to be. Currently plumbing the EBC the way its described in the mkiv site..

Cheers mate really loving the red not many of them in such good condition here in Australia! Those rims come in black too I think that would look awesome with the red too! I just purchased a black 97 vvti though have had a few issues nothing big though. Loving the exhaust note while cruising its so different to my old 1jz. Soarer!

its what they call the aggresive way , however look for markings on the discs sometime the direction is stamped. just because the vent looks vertical doesnt mean anything the internal passage is whats important . get that wrong and brake temps will sky rocket. best to find out what brand they are and ask !

I think my blitz SBC-ID II is installed wrong . according to mkiv technical articles the vsv needs both ports capped off and one of the outlets of the wastegate actuator needs to be capped off.(on mine all this is still connected up) looking at my picture above theyve used the old BOVs old connection line as the out connection (pressure reading is taken off this ) and the in is connected to the top of the no1 turbo wastegate actuator . maybe this is causing loss of pressure in the pressure tank that is causing what i describe above.hmmm definetly doesnt look correct ...

all good now !
