Littler Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Did his car already come with a big Diff Casing? Most likely as it's a euro spec which is very similar to our UK spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Did his car already come with a big Diff Casing? Euro-spec Supra's came with big case diff with air cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 WOW. You're working fast mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) WOW. You're working fast mate. Very fast indeed, it took the shop where my is 9 months to build and they still managed to kill my block due to crossed oil lines. Now with the additional costs it would of been much wiser sending to SRD.. You live and learn, still most likely I will be sending my engine to SRD and it's nice to see how quick the turn around is.!

Noz Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I think all builders should take photos and make threads. This definitely helps the customer see the work and others appreciate the efforts dude. Great looking setup you have there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) SP manifold, long studs so the quick spool valve fits as well Trainee helping out Turbo and down pipe mocked up to make sure it all fitted...... Tbh it didn't, very dissapointed with the fitment. Kim wanted it with recirc, the pipe was no where near at all.

TheTurtleshead Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Could be the picture but are the flanges different sizes totally? With SP's reputation that's a bit shit! Do those SP manifolds come nicely port matched and flowed or did you have to give it some with a die grinder? Edit: Just seen the treadstone logo... so I'm guessing SP flow it for you.

Timlowthian Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Looks good i like the colour scheme for this. May be a stupid question but what does the quick spool do? Seen them before but don't really understand them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manifold looks good, didn't need any work. Just the down pipe, SP were surprising defensive about it and reluctantly sent me a replacement down pipe which just fitted but still wasn't perfect. Looks good i like the colour scheme for this. May be a stupid question but what does the quick spool do? Seen them before but don't really understand them. It's designed to spool the turbo faster, you use the valve with a twin scroll turbo housing and an open manifold. The valve shuts off one side of the turbo housing so all the engine gases go to one side, once it start to produce boost the valve opens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
