a98pmalcolm Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Hay all. Ok long day today working on the Supra again. Vibra-Technics came down today to test there uprated gear box mount on my car. And it fitted pretty damn well. So they will me developed and if anyone is interested in them let me know and AKS can get the ordered up for you. So first batch of pics is the gear box mount upgrade. Old Mount removed http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1372/20121210102424.jpg Old mount VS new mount http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/4522/20121210102320.jpg http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/4982/20121210102326.jpg http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/2872/20121210102358.jpg New mount going in (spot on fit) http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/4378/20121210111903.jpg And all in and done, with nice clearances and a more solid gear change http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/734/20121210194837.jpg http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/8551/20121210112141.jpg Ok next job today was to replace the rubber vacuum wastegate lines with some braided one we made up ourself using aeroquip fittings. First up to fit on the threaded connectors supplied by Turbosmart to replace the push fit ones. http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4494/20121210135041.jpg Alex at AKS make a great bracket to hold the boost solenoid http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4235/20121210170452.jpg And its all starting to come together http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/616/20121210170501.jpg http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/1701/20121210202604.jpg And all done (excuse the dirty engine bay, this damn weather) http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/4968/20121210203007.jpg Ok for the last job of the day I wanted to relocate my aeromotive fuel pressure regulator. Ok, were to? I decided to remove an engine loom holder as this would be the ideal place. http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/2294/20121210173745.jpg Clever Alex whipped up this bracket (if anyone needs one let me know as he can make more) http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/3541/20121210174048.jpg And back to black http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4818/20121210184724.jpg And after I fitted a longer fuel line to the fuel rail, bolted everything on. Finished Alexs bracket worked a treat! http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/7898/20121210190143.jpg So all in all, a productive day. Thanks for looking Paul Edited December 11, 2012 by a98pmalcolm (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly_1 Lex Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 price on the new mount? Also does it control the vibrations from the drivetrain? or is it noticably louder than stock and similar to the TRD Mount? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Sorry but those vac line look a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Dibbs unfortunately as its a double wastegate system its not the easiest to make the neatest as there needs to me more t-pieces and extra lines. There's still some work to be done and the pics don't do it much justice. But functionally there spot on. Phil. There is no price yet on the mount as there about to go into production. Small dull vibration on small revs while the vehicle is static, thats about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I used the Vibratechnics Torque mount on my Focus ST. A brilliant piece of kit and very well engineered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think youve done a good job there mate dont think I couldnt have done better. Ive been scratching my head on what to do with my lines as I have a twin gate and yeah the ideas are limited so why not make them look good if you cant hide them. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
