barneybrendan Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 got another flange made with the reces cut in for the o ring,with the bolt pattern as it was it wasnt pulling in square.Ihave welded this one to the other flange giving it a bit more thickness,plus the ring should be a replacement part from jaguar if i ever need another one.Bit of cleaning with the grinder and then trial fit,i am hoping it clears now that the flange is thicker.If it doesnt then i will have to cut the top off the chamber and shorten it .

barneybrendan Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 got the modified part fitted today ,no air leaks now.But i need to replace the rubber couplings and have a 180 degree bend like the drivers side as its making too much noise from that area,probably too much turbulance inside.Also the rubber couplings are expanding as they are just crap.The charger pully is getting hot,but the belt is slipping rather badly tensioner needs more support. The fmic is doing its job pipe going in hot and cold the other side.I need to adjust the bov as it seems its perminately venting off at the moment.My new gauges came today aswell so going to be fitting them the weekend.

nevins Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Mate, do not sell the design of this set up to a brand name. get the brackets and all made up and sell the kit by yourself. You will see more money back from it and it will be your name not a tuners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see more money back from it and it will be your name not a tuners. too be honest im not interested in patent ect.you cant get one if your design has been put on an open forum anyway and nobody else can copy it and patent either,plus i just want to enjoy it when its done for a while.

barneybrendan Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 little bit more progress today.the charger belt doesnt slip now with the modified tensioner.got all the interior back together.the gauges are now finished,had to get a sort of helicoil done to take the smaller oil temp sensor.tried the bumper,but realized the filter is hitting the black mesh so needs moving back a couple of inches.Just waiting for the silicone bits still so i can fit the bumper,hire a trailer and hand it over to AFR.Fingers crossed should be next week now.

Smallshinyant Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Will AFR be able to get some pics and video of it on the rolling road? would love to hear that thing going max chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Remember under boost the belt is more prone to slip its a manual tensioner so it can be wound tighter if needed.problem i had was the tensioner was flexing so i had to weld braces in. Must be great to see it looking like a Supra again mate. too right mate Looking good and so close now Will AFR be able to get some pics and video of it on the rolling road? would love to hear that thing going max chat. i will ask them as it would be nice to keep.

barneybrendan Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 just got in from sorting the earlier issues.the filter now clears the bumper mesh. fitted new oil filter aswell.routed the AITsensor harness down to the ecu.Boost gauge pipe now connected,its the clear pipe but not sure its ok where its connected.theres some sort of valve thing that its on ,check pic any advice on that be good. Also on the bulk head side of the y piece intake theres a larger vacum pipe,what would this of connected to.Just thinking of blanking it off somehow its the pic with the finger pointing to it. fitted the sensor for the fans and the temperature controller,just the dreded wirring to do there.

jagman Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Manual tensioner is cool, there could be 50 bhp worth of power and torque through the charger pulley at full boost , so tight is good - any slippage will show on boost guage or dyno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallshinyant Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 they sound efficient, if they turn up quickly give them a plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
