Any pics ect.. the mkiv.com isnt really how to install it i dont think as it says to do the bleeder mod first but with this i dont think you need to and just connect it up to where it says in pic??

Need4Speed Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Isn't that a bleed-valve in disguise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 well im not sure, i was lead to belive that it works better than a bleed valve?? duno? Just want to install it at the moment as i was hitting 1.2 bar but since i have had a different cat back zurst i am only getting .9bar, so want to fit this and raise it again?? that right?

Willson Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 It goes on hose 2 in the pic. Ignore the t coming off which is just used to make the adjustment in the car (yours is all in one). I imagine the wastegate side will go to the actuator side in the pic, but I doubt it would matter. It's just a valve that controls an escape of air from the pipe (bleed).

Steve W Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 "MYSTER" !! I take it you've already got a Guage fitted ?? (please don't use the bleeder without a guage !) AND, start with the bleeder (!) NOT-bypassing first and increase (decrease??) it slowly........ .... my one only takes ~1/2 turn-ish to 'produce' ~1.5Bar ! ! ! ! = they're not very controllable, you have to find out what each amount of TURN will do.

Supra ST Myster Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 yeah thanks, i have a guage, and was going to start off with it still with the same bar reading then do a run and adjust a tad then do a run and so on till i get up to 1.2bar.

Steve W Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 No worries matie-peeps... wasn't being "TUTORIAL"...honest ! ! (I have a guage... but, I got greedy and just opened it a tad too far = MELTED PISTONS..... although Mid-Summer/Elvington etc etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you still got any of your cats in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 No both cats out and with my other old exhaust cat back that i had, which was two pipes then going back into one and joining into the back box that i have advertised on the for sale section i was getting 1.2-1.3 bar, but since replacing the cat back section for another one as one of the pipes from the old system had a whole in it i am now only hitting 0.8-0.9 bar, but im a bit confused as the cat back that i replaced it with is a singel pipe, which is larger than the old system pipes 2.75" and the tail pipe is 4.5" it seems to be such a restriction?? It is also very quiet, when i first switched my engine on i thought it wasnt running thats how quiet it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Interesting as you would normally see higher boost on a free flowing exhaust, is it a UK or J-Spec car and what is the new exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 this is the description... Tanabe Hyper Medallion Exhaust Full cat back system, x2 stainless boxes and i think aluminiumised mild steel rather than stainless pipework. 70mm diameter pipework and 120mm tip. Jasma rated, so its not much louder than stock if both cats are still in. It is second hand but in very good condition.. make sense now??

JohnK Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Be careful as peek boost will change with the temprature, its not a set to 1.2 and forget it job, really you need a peek warning gauge. Just my experience with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
