Ryan.G Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Ryan, have you got the 2 Walbro pumps you mention you'll fit? I've got a Bosch sat waiting to go in mine so you can have the Walbro currently fitted if you need it. Hey chap Yeah got both of them now thanks. Was going to go for a Bosch but got the 2 walbros for a good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hey chap Yeah got both of them now thanks. Was going to go for a Bosch but got the 2 walbros for a good price Fair play. I always thought it was preferable to run 1 big rather than 2 smaller pumps, just in case one starts to fail and the engine runs lean. But, am I right in thinking the Solaris would spot that, step in and prevent any damage being done? Does it monitor what's going IN to each cylinder or just what's been burnt?

paul mac Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) interesting to see the injector test sheet, before cleaning thats quite a mismatch, are they new or second hand ?, good stuff Ryan, cant help notice you have left your home address on the test sheet as well Edited June 1, 2009 by paul mac (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always prefer to run one big pump as if one fails then you know about it but with a Y section its not so bad as if a pump fails then the other pump still provides fuel just it will go abit leaner which the Solaris will spot by looking at the onboard lambda and try to compensate. If it cant reach the target lambda and it goes out of the compensation max values then it will flag an error. But i would see in a log that the ecu was trying to compensate too much if one pump had failed. I only would run closed loop lambda on the Solaris ecu though as with the NTK sensor it uses the ecu is able to detech a sensor failure. No Supra with a Solaris has this turned on at present as only one is using a Solaris Wideband sensor Ryan Edited June 1, 2009 by Ryan.G (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Forget to say VHT wrinkle paint looks awesome on the cam covers. Will get a full pic when i get the center part of Wesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Im tempted but its £16 a can and it doesn't cover well!! How many tins to do an inlet manifold then, I have a spare one sitting here I was going to get powder coated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Would say 2. Will check to see if you can get it in silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 What sort of flow do you get out of new PE650's? Is it worth testing them before install if new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Goods great Ryan. The top left bolt needs tightening up on the engine mount, something that's easily missed Would I be correct in saying that the paint will hold the heat in, almost as much as say chrome on the cam covers?

Chris Wilson Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Powder coat is available in a crackle finish, and is allegedly a lot more durable than the aerosol stuff. Here's my 4A-GE Toyota turbo plenum after powder coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Looks good Chris!! I am swerving towards the Silver and Matt/Crinkle Black finish engine bay rather than Polished and Chrome I seen a Nice engine bay on, dare i say it, GTR Owner's... That was a thing of art fair play!!! Very Inspiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always worth flow testing and cleaning any injectors you buy. More so when New as they have been sat on a shelf for years no doubt and are known to stick open or closed or just get clogged up where the anti sieze fluid goes off. Some Sard or PE injectors can be over 6 years old these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top left bolt needs tightening up on the engine mount, something that's easily missed Would I be correct in saying that the paint will hold the heat in, almost as much as say chrome on the cam covers? Mr Oakley,you are correct that the colour black does absorb every wavelength of visible light and with this high level of absorption it creates heat. But your nice shiney chromed up blinged intake manifold on the other hand would love a coat of a nice white wrinkle sprinkling as it reflects nearly of these wavelength of light and with the wrinkle finish the surface area is also smaller so this is also a bonus in battling heat aborbtion. :D:D P.s dont polish you intake manifolds :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Ryan, will the top water feed... not foul the bonnet? Wouldn't a couple of 90deg adaptors be a more snug fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't a couple of 90deg adaptors be a more snug fit? The pic definatly makes the pipe look high due to the angle but its pretty much as high as the compressor housing. Plus with the engine being further back there is alot more room in height back there. Good thinking though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 It's been so long I can't remember what turbo you're using. I seem to remember GT35R but that looks like something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
