Questions are all valid. But as I said JPS has carried out all the work on the car. I'm not very compedent when it comes to the physicis or mecanics involved in setting up these turbos, but Leon assured me it would be fine. As for the comment of it running like a dog on standard ecu and Injectors is just dumb-founded. If I was intending on keeping the car I would go down the route of changing the them. I would recomend anyone who is serious about buying a supra to come and see it for yourself. I have priced the car to sell.

I never seem to get to drive the car anymore. New job with long hours communiting by train everyday. I used to love my old job, where I could drive to work. Getting to drive the sup to work everyday would make you love any job. I'm not in a rush to sell but I am getting married later in the year so the money would come in handy. After having the car for almost a year I deciced to go BPU and fitted a double decat. I noticed that the car was leaking oil on the drive way. So I poped into JPS and they diagnosed the problem to be a Crank Seal. The replaced it and I was on my merry way. However after only a short time I noticed oil on the driveway once again. So I headed straight back to JPS. Same problem, crank seal leaking. Leon believed the seal may have been damaged when being put in, so he replaced it for free. But alas the problem occured again. So back to JPS again. This time he investigated further. It was found that the wrong grade of oil had been put in the car by the previous owner. It had disintegrated into a gritty substance throughout the engine. Thus causing the blown crank seals. I asked Leon what my options were. He explained that a engine rebuild would be required, or an engine transplant. He has an engine instock with large turbos, pulleys and cams. So the rest is history. The turbo's were once in Leon Green's drag car. He ran them for one season. I had intended putting larger injectors and an uprated ECU on the car but I never got round to doing it. But even at 1.1 bar the car is a flier....... The pulleys and cams were on the engine when I bought from Leon. I'm not sure what version they are but I can chat Leon and find out. Feel free to give me a call on 07833 645168 to discuss in further.

They will really suit the car when only the spokes are painted, and the overall look of the car is excellent Ro. Compliments to the chef.....

Follow the pipe from the engine bay into the driver side wing. The intercooler as standard is directly in front of the right front wheel. The pipe might have blown off the intercooler.
-
Check to see if the intercooler pipe has come off. Do the car feel like it has lost power

I received my renewal quote for SKY in the post on saturday. 3 Years NCD and membership discount. £1290. I was not very impressed as I payed £1450 the year before. I rang around and got a few other quotes. Lancaster quoted £1200. So today, I rang Sky and said I was enoyed at the quote the sent to me in the post and asked why it was so high. I explained that I had received other quotes for less than theirs. The asked me what I was quoted..... I thought I would test the water and said £1150. The guy on the phone goes away for a minute and comes back saying that Lancaster insure your car using classic insurance where you don't earn any no claims discount with them. But he said he would match the £1150 quote for me. To be brutally honest, I think all insurance companies are a shower of cowboys, sending out quotes they just make up out of thin air. If Sky is supposed to be the offical Supra Insurance company, why oh why don't the quote their wery best price to start with..........??

As for the fuel, you haven't put anything less than shell optimax in your car. That also means you haven't been using the best stuff either. Tesco 99RON has been proven to be better.

Paul here, It's good to see your doing your homework on the forum. As I said to Shaun I'm not sure I want to sell....where do you go after owning a soop. Have a look in my garage to see pics of the car. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=360 I'm happy to answer any of your questions. Cheers, Paul.

Poll - How much does your Supra drink per month?
paconnors replied to MarkTheBoy's topic in Supra Chat
I use it as a daily driver and can't complain. Roughly 250 to 300 a month. -
I'm looking for a boost gauge, but cannot decide which looks best. So I ask you..... which boost gauge looks goes best with a Thor dash kit.
