TBDevelopments Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 thanks guys. I'll continue to plug away but its getting very close on both kits now. Just finishing up the final details etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Is that a Treadstone Performance manifold you are using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 as a base yes but then heavily modified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 By heavily modified you mean it’s been aggressively ported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 and the wastegate part has been totally reworked to accomidate a 44mm instead of a 38mm which is known to cause creep. Out the factory the hole is only 33mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Aggressive porting seem to be the way with these older style manifolds, especially the wastegate area. Is that six bolts holes for the wastegate? Will you be getting the manifold flow tested? E2A Any reason you didn’t go with the FSR (SPA copy but better) cast manifold?

TBDevelopments Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 being honest i wasn't a fan of the positioning of all the parts on the FSR manifold. Wastegate ontop, turbo sat lower. There also isn't really any proof the FSR flows anybetter, its also unequal length like mine so no real advantage. plus remember these kits are designed as a Street max, so 550-600bhp range which i where i feel the limit of a supra lies on a street setup, all weather tyres etc etc. The treadstone manifold has been proven time and time again in its current state to be well above what i need it for, and with my modifications its only made it better. Short runner to keep the velocities up and give maximum spool and torque was the aim here. I'm more than capable of doing a full tubular length setup but its costs again, but i may in the future look at doing a 700bhp + kit where this tubular setup would be used.

Frank Bullitt Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Aparently the FSR wastegate has two options available, on top for ease of access and hidden below. I thought as it was different to the generic cast manifold that some thought has been given to how it flows but like you the unequal length did make me wonder. Your kit looks nice, certainly the power range. Torque is definitely the preferable power figure and the deepening of the engine noise through a cast is a nice touch. What are your thoughts on the new Garrett G25 550 and 660 turbos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 thanks mate the new G series do seem a nice option but i think i'll look at those once they become more widely tested to see if i can adapt them into the street max kit or if i'd be better going into another route to offer those Tim TB Developments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBDevelopments Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 here's the BPU Max actuator bracket. On the final product the arm will attach on the inside of the bracket not on the outside like shown here, this will give it a more liner route from the actuator. (Doesn't really matter i'm just picky) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdale Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 video of it in operation https://www.facebook.com/tbdevelopments/videos/1997604577169508/[/url] How is the flap attached to the arm? It looks like the flap "rattles" a bit as it hits the fully open position? Do you think this will wear over time? Caveat: I know sweet FA about these things so feel free to shoot me down .

TBDevelopments Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 the round door? it sits through the arm and then a washer welded on the end. Its designed so the flap door isnt fixed to the arm, this allows it to seal properly when pulled closed otherwise you could get single point contact against the seat. also allows for thermal expansion between the materials Hope that explains it mate Tim TB Developments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam27 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Looking forward to seeing these completed Tim, great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Opinions before they go into production. which style heat shield do you like better? the finished item will be fully welded, smoothed and mirror polished. both will have the flat top like the slotted, but question is solid or slotted? please guys give me feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
