Callaway Motorsport Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 agreed im no expert either, just know that compressor stall is down to aero dinamics so can only be a few things,on my fag packet science intake flow compressor flow ( where the piping goes to the intercooler ). i mentioned the balance bar as its the easiest thing to check cant hurt to test for the 30 minutes it would take to try. i just cant help but think that at the balance bar the intake pipes would be a cyclone/vortex and that the balance bar is not at the same point in the cyclone/vortex of each turbo intake as one is clearly longer then the other, these are just my thoughts and are probably wrong but cheap and easy to check LOL I understand your logic and as you say, It's an easy thing to check. I will give it a go at some point. I was thinking exactly the same as Mellonman. Easy to check etc yes. Hope you find it some way easily!! Great build. Oh, and wheels + BEEF = Chuck Norris would approve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve.m Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Received my floor mats from Dc-Automotive last week, Got them fitted yesterday. Great quality product, Thanks Dane. While the car was out, Thought I'd take some more pictures of the rear diffuser for your viewing pleasure. Also Lee got me some bonnet gas struts and Simon (Baldy) made some custom bonnet hinges to mount the struts. Some engine bay pictures taken yesterday. Here is a few other pictures taken yesterday, A couple with my mates 500bhp Evo 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway Motorsport Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Thanks guys, Exciting times. Congrats Steve, My wife is also expecting for around July time. But i am sure my supra will be ready and be used around those times... A child is alot of work in the beginning, but sure enough we will both find a few hours in between to have a little adrenaline rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.m Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Dragged the car out the garage yesterday and fitted a new battery. Then decided to take the car to a work meeting in Surrey and then on to the Bluewater meet. Nice little 260 mile round trip. It was good to get the car out as I was starting to lose the love for it a little. Soon bought the love back when driveing home from Bluewater at midnight with empty roads. Next on the list to do: - Back to SRD for a second fuel pump to be fitted as we thought we may get away with one pump but the fuel pressure is dropping off slightly at high boost. - New fuel lines as they are still the ones from the 80mm turbo set up and are little excessive for this set up. -10 to twin feed -6. - Possibly going to change the injectors down to 1000cc as again 2000cc is a little excessive. - Tidy up the paintwork as there is a few marks here and there, Mainly the rear quarters where the spats were removed. Then hopefully enjoy the car for the summer if its not a wash out like last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
