Motec m600 ECU mapped by Dan Turner Engine rebuild by Tuning Japanese. Not sure what was replaced apart from the pistons. It's not a ball bearing turbo just a plain journal bearing one.

Having a bad day love? I didn't call anyone a liar. I was merely pointing out a fact about injectors and the BHP a given size injector can support. I think you'll find that you're the one calling people names not me.

The engine had only done about 350 since the rebuild when I got the car. I don't know what oil was in it at the time. This afternoon I took the car out to warm it up before trying a few things to diagnose the PCV but the damn thing isn't smoking now. Once it was warmed up I did a few motorway pulls and let it over-run loads of times but as far as I can tell it's fine at the moment. Looking at the oil on the dipstick, it's quite black and I'm not sure if it smells of petrol. If there was petrol in the fuel that would be a sure sign the rings are shot, wouldn't it? Isn't there somebody here who can get oil samples analysed?

Although none of the car's UK owners have had hybrids fitted? And nobody has ever heard of a Supra coming over from Japan with hybrids. But let's say for arguments sake the car has hybrids fitted, it still doesn't explain how it's making 470bhp with injectors that, even at 100% duty , can't flow enough to make 420bhp (assuming stock fuel pressure)

It was running a bit rich before I had it mapped recently, but not madly rich. The engine rebuild it had about a year ago was, according to the previous owner, because the e-Manage Blue it used to have fitted was over-fuelling badly and had caused bore-wash.

My Mrs reckons it's always done it a bit. She says it does it on gear changes and when accelerating. Hmmm. Does the fact that my exhaust side cam cover is vented to atmosphere means that it's not a PCV problem? I've just been ringing round but can't find anyone local to do a leakdown test. Like you say though, even if it passes it could still be the oil control rings. To be honest I'm hoping it is the turbo. Anything to do with piston rings is going to be major work and expense. Well it's got worse since then. I never noticed it smoking before buy like I said above, my Mrs recons it's always done it.

Yeah, Ibrar

Hard to say without knowing what offset they are. It doesn't say in that eBay listing.

Damn that looks good. I'd have a black one if they weren't such a nightmare to keep clean looking.

Why are you buying wheels? Isn't your car miles away from being fixed?

No smoke on startup, cold or hot. It only seems to do it when I close the throttle while driving along. I think I'm right in saying that it only does it when I'm on some boost (even very low boost) and then close the throttle. It's possible that it does it if I'm cruising off-boost and then take my off but I haven't noticed it. (Smoke from the car you're driving is hard to see unless it's pretty bad) BTW It's blue smoke so must be oil. It's using lots of oil too.

Somebody please tell me what to do with my car. ('00 VVTi with PHR Stage One GT60 single turbo) (Previously discussed in this thread) It's smoking like hell on the over-run. In this thread Jarrett from PowerHouse Racing reckons it's not the turbo and it's probably valve stem seals, rings, or PCV system that are causing the problem. The compression seems OK to me (145psi on each cylinder). Surely the stem seals can't be the problem on a 50,000 mile car? I don't really understand the PCV system but from what I've read I don't think it would cause smoke on the over-run, would it? What can I do to diagnose the problem? Thanks for any help.

A 35 quid FPR? Anyone seen my bargepole?

Stock sizes?

If the reserve wasn't set properly he should have cancelled the listing and relisted it properly.

Funny you should mention that because I've just been working it out. 440cc injectors even at 100% duty cycle are capable of a an absolute maximum of 419.04 bhp

So it's still on stock 440cc injectors as well?

Speed, Revs, fuel, Battery voltage, water temp

Just looked. No part number on mine

Diff to prop coupling

No, the facelift clock aperture is 60mm IIRC

I've never heard of anyone doing that. I can't see how you could do it really, what with them being different sizes. What do you mean H? Has yours got a digital clock then?

Royal Logistics Mobile Bath & Shower unit ? I thought that was a joke.

For the benefit of us civvies; what are the rub-a-dubs?
