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 :D

Cheers guys. :)

 

If you ever decide to sell, please keep me in mind. I love this car, it's the best Supra I know of.

 

I must admit the dreaded thoughts have crossed my mind recently. :taped: The time of year and heavy work load doesn't help but this car is my ultimate supra set up and it would break my heart to part with it.

Don't panic guys I've not got to the stage of drafting out the for sale thread yet. I've just got a very busy life and the wife is also pregnant with our first child Which is due in June, Right when the weather gets better which means I can see the car never getting used.

 

 

Don't you dare Steve! Although…. Dibbs on the bonnet!

 

Don't even think about it Steve! lol

 

...But dibbs on the CCW's :D

 

You two my friends, are a pair of bloody vultures! :D

 

I'd have to have some serious problems to consider breaking this car.

 

I'll take it!:D

 

No problem. If you just send me a signed, Blank cheque and I'll fill in the numbers. :p

 

Don't be gay Steve! I need someone to rock out with at shows, big twin buddys

 

 

:rlol: :friends:

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. :rolleyes:
