hodge Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Yeah they stock red I'm sure of it mate. It's only the vacuum hose that's not reinforced. Have a look on the viper performance website it gives you all the sizes and types of hoses they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraD06 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hodge, ive just noticed your using Mikalor clamps for all your IC pipework, which are the same clamps i've just replaced all mine with. But when fitting mine, i found that these are quite a heavy duty clamp and its quite easy to over tighten them and start to distort the pipework. So was wondering if when doing yours you will be doing them a little over hand tight? Or will you be using a certain torque setting? Obviously yours will need to hold ALOT more boost than mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you must have arms as big as my legs lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 OMG... And I'm spent! Has to be one of the best supra engines I have ever seen. I love how clean and simple it looks.

I'm looking to try and fit a N/A resevior straight on top of the pump but I need to measure up if there's enough room between the plenum and pump. If it won't fit or I can't make it fit it's going in the inner wing on the passenger side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Glove Box Cheers fitz, yeah it's in the glovebox, I'll dig a picture out mater on tonight. Sneaky No ABS anymore either John?? The car never had ABS to start with mate. I bought it forcthat reason as I didn't want the ugly pump in the engine bay. Although I am going to try and retrofit the ABS hubs from a TT so I can get the traction control on the solaris to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I am going to try and retrofit the ABS hubs from a TT so I can get the traction control on the solaris to work. I had to fit abs hubs to the rear of my n/a in order to fit the bigger diff casing for a 6 speed and associated driveshafts. Once I found out what I needed, it was a direct swap of the hub. Only issue I had was to bugger the ball joints on a couple of suspension arms trying to remove them, so I decided to replace the lot with new oem.

To be honest mate it looks so much better without the ABS junk in there - i debated for ages with Lee about removing mine but i wasn;'t sure how the car would be without it!!

So to get this all to work I'm going to need 2 new driveshafts and 2 TT, ABS hubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
