  1. I managed to get a few minutes with Ryan remotely this evening who tweaked some of the settings. I shall be sorting the insurance this week, booking the MOT and then arrange for the mapping. It will also give me a while to get the clutch bedded in. Also need to replace the rad cap as it seems to have perished, but thats an easy fix.
  2. I was looking for some as mine were welded into the runners, the only place I could get them was the USA, but for such a small item the postage was more than the collets. In the end I swapped runners and used the original ones.
  3. I had to re-configure the Syvecs to allow for the new sensors and DBW setup (Ryan helped with the DBW bits), i then managed to start the car over the weekend for the first time in about a year. After turning it over with no fuel pump running to get oil round the engine and into the turbo, I reconnected the pumps and it fired straight away Just have a couple of small bits to finish off before getting the MOT sorted and then the mapping Nearly there now
  4. If I can find it in the bottom of a bag, I have that part and clutch fork which I removed from my car yesterday as I no longer need it.
  5. It's a BoostLab Billet S366HF unit. So has the smaller housing and slightly smaller compressor than the old S400.
  6. I have now finished the turbo side, other than a couple of silicone joiners which I need to measure up. I have also finished wiring for the throttle body, throttle pedal, new oil temp sensor, oil pressure sensor, fuel pressure sensor and new wideband sensor. The throttle pedal is installed and the Syvecs pin configuration has been changed to suit the new connections, I just need to speak to Ryan before turning it over. The old clutch didn't like SupraPod a year or so ago but was still working, but it did need to be changed, as there are a few bits missing and the Kevlar was coming away. Anyway the replacement arrived this week, a OS Giken R3C triple plate clutch. The pull/push conversion kit installed. The new flywheel and clutch plate housing installed along with new flywheel bolts. The clutch plates installed. The clutch cover installed. I have to say this clutch is a great bit of kit, very well designed and easy to assemble. The pedal feel feels lighter than the old Southbend clutch which I am happy about but until the engine is running I wont be able to see how it feels under load. Hopefully by next weekend I will be totally ready to get the engine running again
  7. IIRC that needs a filter on it.
  8. There are no videos for me on mkiv only suggested videos from other people.
  9. I can see 1 video of Ellis but that is on channel mkivs not mkiv
  10. Have been sorting the exhaust side the last couple of days. After this turned up...... I was able to fit the exhaust housing so I could fit the DP and weld the pipework so the wastegates now re-circ back into the exhaust, with this sorted I wrapped the DP and wastegate pipes with some new DEI exhaust wrap. I re-plumbed the wasegates to the boost solenoid, all those pipes are also covered to keep the heat out. I just need to sort some new bolts for the oil drain so I can then fit the turbo compressor cover which I have tapped for the pressure feed for the wastegates/boost solenoid. Also the headlights are back in along with the new HID lamps Hopefully next weekend I will finish the turbo/inlet pipework and pull the new wiring into the ECU, get it connected up and ready for start up I shall run it around off boost to get it MOT'd but get the new clutch fitted before it gets fully mapped again when Ryan is available. Not too much longer

    Wanted

    You need to be a paid club member to post Wanted/For Sale Adverts. You do realise that this is the mkivsupra forum?
  13. Still around 10 people who haven't replied to the PM's they have been sent with the details for this. Its for your benefit to check all the details are correct.
  14. Hopefully shouldn't be too much longer before it is being used again
  15. Whats going on with the cambelt? Seems to be moving all over the place in that video? Glad its now started though
  16. ***Long overdue update*** Well I bought the intake and DBW setup from Johnny G and have finally had some time to make a start on the changes. I moved the fuse box as advised in the Greddy Intake manifold instruction guide as I didn't fancy fitting it under the wing but rather than moving the PAS reservoir I decided to fit a N/A reservoir. I have also removed the old Greddy PAS cooler you get with the FMIC kits and plumbed it in to the cooler that I have in the radiator (auto rad), keeps things a bit neater. I bought the 3" Greddy pipework from Steve Lintons old car so was able to re-use the BOV location. After test fitting the manifold/throttle body, I had to have the throttle body flange cut off the intake and clocked round slightly as I didn't want to make a hole in the chassis leg to make this fit. All the new wiring is mostly in place I just need to run it through the bulk head down to the ECU. As I was doing the new wiring I have also fitted Oil Pressure, oil temp and fuel pressure sensors which will all be fed into the ECU and all displayed on the dash2. There's still a few bits to tidy up, fit clamps etc. I have started on the exhaust side now, have fitted a Whifbitz dual wastegate manifold which again was from Steve Lintons old car. I have re-wrapped it with some DEI wrap. Hopefully next weekend I will un-box the new turbo and get the downpipe test fitted, I can't decide whether to re-circ the wastegates or leave them open though......
  17. There are still 15 people who haven't confirmed that their car details are correct on the PM that was sent for this. It will make it easier for you if they are correct so it's good to check.
  18. Dean has the booking reference number that you will need for the tunnel. You will need to PM me or Branners you reg number.
  19. I would be more concerned that you are doing 3 bar of boost with zero oil pressure/temperature
