J_Supra_07 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I can't wait it's been off the road to long. And seeing craig in his supra makes me miss it even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Good luck But Id deffo sort that air filter out, move it into the corner where your expansion take. All its doing there is drawing in hot air above the exhaust manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Supra_07 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 The fan shroud dose not fit with the Ali rad, my next buy is going the be elec fans. The air filter can't be moved till a get rid of the fan coz it hits it. So both will be sorted soon. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'd imagine you'll get a conservative tune off Ryan because of the hot air you will be ingesting all the time, and those HKS filters are reknown for not really filtering anything so when you sort out the intake you might want to consider getting rid of it Watch your coolant temps on the dyno as well, the lack of fan shroud can apparently have quite an effect. Should be OK in the winter though. Is there a reason why the cam gears are exposed? Having the cambelt open to foreign bodies is a bit scary, and the stock cam gears ain't that pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Supra_07 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Thanks guys as craig said there is a few things I am ganna tidy up and yes iam strongly considering changing the filter when I sort out the fans. Few things I want to tidy up too. I plan on keeping it on the road most of next year to make all the big shows as it missd almost all of them this year.

Miguel Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Save yourself the expense of paying Ryan twice for mapping (although he won't mind) and sort the filtration and cooling out. You're not going to get the best out of it as it stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Also get some heat proof piping or shield on your throttle cable, it looks very close to your turbo/downpipe and will melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 A LOT of issues there, I don't think Ryan will like mapping that one bit. IMO You'd do better getting the problems sorted before you get it mapped rather than have it base mapped then need to be redone once the intake, cooling, throttle cable and reference lines are setup safely. BTW, what turbo is that? The numbers on the compressor housing came up with a Cummins Diesel turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 What rad is that as all the aftermarket ones I have seen still take the stock shroud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 What rad is that as all the aftermarket ones I have seen still take the stock shroud. The cheap ebay ones dont, james had 1 on his car before he flattened the front end:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephendjb Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Is the radiator secure on the off side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Supra_07 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 The rad is secure yes. I will look at Moving the filter on the weekend before I take it up. If it can be done working around the intercooler pipeing I will. I will tidy up as much as poss before it gose to Ryan. Thanks again guys. Homer the turbo is a custom gs racing truck turbo made to fit a supra manifold. Fast spooling and capable of 3bar. Not that I want to run that.

dwayne Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 was it the hx35 or 40 and what was the cm2 on the hotside? both of those come originally with a t3 type fitment but i was just wondering if they have done any other mods. i've been looking at holsets too and i cant find a bad word about them anywhere as long as they're original (a lot of cheaper chinese copies on the market at the moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 HX35 are popular with the americans doing the V6 conversions into the MR2. Seemed to get good results. From what I can gather, it's GT35R-ish in terms of spool and power. But, cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
