It's been a while since I have updated here all due to a few issues with leaks and wanted to sort them before the car goes on the road. The gearbox had a very minor drip (red line in pic) and the engine oil was dripping (circled red) The gearbox had to come back out. The engine oil leak was diagnosed as some dodgy sealant on the housing and was possibly the main cause of the leak. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=153554&d=1339966811 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=153555&d=1339966811 I replaced the rear main seal and re-sealed the housing (sorry forgot to take pics). The gearbox bell housing was removed and also resealed. Big thanks to my mate Paul for helping me out on this one http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=153556&d=1339966811 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=153557&d=1339966811 I fitted everything back up yesterday and am pleased to say all the leaks are now gone so it's MOT & Tax tomorrow as Ryan is coming up to do the final bit of mapping on Tuesday.

Big thanks to Chris for supplying me with a new rear main seal and great bit of advice I managed to sort out all the leaks so will update in my project thread here http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?241651-My-Super-Widebody-Aero-VVTi-Turbo-6sp-project/page73

Thanks Chris I will email you now and call you tomorrow to make payment, thanks.

I got the box off and checked the rear main seal which still looked OK as I previously inspected this when I fitted the box first time round. The rear main housing looked suspect and had oil residue, so I got it off and found some dodgy silicon which had started to delaminate most possible cause of the leak. I will get a seal ordered of Mr Wilson tomorrow and hopefully the engine oil leak will be sorted, just need to do something about the box next. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=153395&d=1339619737

Thanks Chris, I will call you shortly

What gear oil did you use as a replacement? The front leak is engine oil, but its hard to tell if its the back of the sump or the RMS I am going to get the box off, later today. The rear leak is definately box oil but just wanted to see if anybody else had a simillar problem and what needs doing to rectify.

I have a small oil leak coming from the upper sump or rear main seal, can't really pinpoint it at the moment anybody like to hazard a guess before I start stripping the car down again. The oil settles at the bottom of the box circled in red. I also have a leak from the gearbox marked in the pic with a red line. I didn't notice this whilst the old oil was in the box, seems to have appeared since I put in Royal Purple synchromax, any thoughts? Any help appreciated as I need to get this sorted ASAP. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=153329&d=1339540523

I am mate, can't wait however I have a couple of problems I have run into which need sorting first. LOL, nice one John Thanks mate Yeh, not too bad, considering I started the mechanical in December and also done it out of work hours, weekends, bank holidays, etc. You crack me up Wayne

Thanks mate I have a HKS 264 exhaust side only. I will report back once I road test it.

Thanks again chaps Drove the car out the workshop today, few little jobs left before it goes for MOT one of them being a problem with the power steering which I will check tomorrow.

your on

That's good to hear Thanks for the link

Really mate? well that's put a smile on my face can't wait to give it a road test.

Thank you gents Christian I can't wait to see you work your magic on it.

Not had any spare time to work on the Supra since the dyno session, however this weekend I plan on getting the car ready for use. Fitted my custom made splitter to the front bumper, I plan on leaving the mesh off as it looks much better IMO. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=152773&d=1338664502

Thanks John, had a great weekend with the wife and kids. Thanks Wayne. I know the cars only a puppy

A photosnap of the dyno sheet as my scanner software is playing up.

Thanks Guys Never enough LOL, with all the rushing around I forgot to fill it up. We had to make do with what we had. Thanks again chaps I will post up the dyno sheet tomorrow, boost around 4K Ryan said on the road it will be around 3.5K so pretty good really.

Managed to catch up with some sleep and a break from the Supra this weekend. Got to give a big thank you to everyone on here who has contributed towards building my dream supra, I't wouldn't have been possible without the club and all the tried and tested applications by other members. (Jamie P, johnny g, hodge to name a few). Got to give a big shout out to Dunk for organising and taking me to SRR, he sure knows how to tow a trailer A Big thanks to Ryan for helping out with the snags and other stuff which he didn't even have to do. Thanks for doing a fine job on tuning the car Hodge you get another mention mate, thanks for all your help sorry if I missed any one out BIG to all. Here's a quickly edited video of the dyno session.

The last few days have been crazy, had no sleep for 40 hours and then got back in last night at 4 am and back to work this morning The car made 685 BHP @1.5bar of boost. Ryan reckons there is more to come 750+ will be possible with a few tweeks and Optimax. I will give shout outs to everyone later, back to work I go. Oh yeh, got some good dyno footage, so look out for the movie later tonight ( that's if I don't fall asleep, LOL ).

Thank's for sorting this out Dunk don't worry if the wheel gets curbed I know a good place to get it refurb'd :d I hope everything goes to plan, should be a good road trip

Thanks Guy's. Big day tomorrow, Ryan is coming down to calibrate the DBW and get the car running, then its off to SRR for a dyno session. I am working through the night on the car to make sure everything is OK. I have cranked the engine over, oil pressure is OK and no leaks so far. I will top up all the fluids later tonight I am hoping there is no snags but I am sure there will be.

Thanks The sound deadning has its own sticky backing, so no glue was used. Thanks, will give you guys a shout soon. Almost but not quite Thanks Guys

My mate Imi @ Tourqeflow built me a custom 4" downpipe and system today, should sound good once fired up:thumbs: I also made up a custom splitter for my TRD bumper.

I have it available now, just had a custom 4" exhaust made.
