  1. Varis has nothing to do with this design or production I'm afraid...
  2. Hi guys! Really want this spoiler on my bootlid (esspecially spoiler legs), but dont know the name of it. Have u got any clue what are these spoiler legs called (I think its universal spoiler blade on it) and where I can get them? Thanks!
  3. Sorry guys, its been a long time with no updates, but something was going on. First of all, was looking for a vacuum leak somewhere, so had to take the intake manifold off. It appeared injector seals were leaking air. Heres how it looks naked And Yes!!! I made it to Bluewater! The engine is still in limp mode for some reason. As my OBD2 socket is on the way now, will find out soon. But it drives ok and pulls very well up to 3k rpm
  4. Will u be able to do N/A tacho as well? Or is it TT tachos only? Im interested anyway
  5. Nice meet! Was pleasure to see u all again after a long break!
  6. I will be there are u meeting at the same parking area as one year ago lol?
  7. Why are you so grumpy mate? I had just realised you guys all talking about old 1UZ which is very different from vvti one
  8. The thing is 1uz vvti gives 8 pulses insted of old UZ giving 4 pulses, so 4cylinder tachos wont work. Anyway, it seems to be quite simple solution to use LS400 tacho, wondering why nobody spoken about that.
  9. Theres one more question about tachos: has enyone tried fitting LS400 tacho and why doesnt it fit?
  10. Thanks mate! It now has an exhaust and sounds even better, but still facing some stupid issues and cant get it test driven... will update u guys shortly!
  11. Chris, didnt really get why the engine is useless?
  12. Reasonable post Raven! I had never lost faith in w58 if mine breaks I will get it reinforced (and 5th gear 'prolonged') That still costs less than r154, not even talking about v160... Im located in south Essex, by Dartford Tall
  13. Heres the thread for Eds 420whp setup: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?194748-Eds-1UZ-V8-Supra-HPI-amp-v-eight-com-Photoshoot
  14. It might be too complicated for a Saturday night lol....
  15. Any info regarding tacho conversion helps as this is the only point still in doubt. I do really want to use stock tacho (with or without mr2 guts) and have few ideas how to do that but nothing certain yet. Kenny - Celica mk1 tacho can be switched between any input, but 1.its really hard to find it breaking 2.not sure the tacho will fit Supra dash Let us know how it goes! I will try to use tacho signal switch from some aftermarket tachos.
  16. thats the aftermarket one. Fuel rail is different on vvti and non vvti engines, so the vvti needs aftermarket FPC to fit Supra.
  17. Thanks for the tip! It was fuel pressure regulator failure. Need to get a new one. .
  18. no, it runs Lexus setup with relay switching between resistor and 12volts, but that shouldnt be a problem as it is a stock setup.
  19. ok, after some break things are getting there. Still waiting for the bloody engine mounts, which are under customs inspection for 10 days already!!! Meanwhile few more things sorted, and heres the first start Cant get enough fuel pressure for some reason...
  20. Check the link above mate, there are detailed writeups how you get 420 and 600 bhp out of 1uz N/A. I will surely try dyno after I finish with full decat.
