I will be sorting a fuel cut defender, and boost control, along with winding up the turbo boost a little, not to much as im not gready hehe. Stage THREE will be internal: Already have my seats on order, which should be here any time soon. Will be fitting her out with full greddy gauge set: im thinking all to be in pilar pods. Oil Temp Oil Pressure Boost Voltage Water Temp Also will be fitting a decent size rev counter central on the dash. Stage FOUR will probably be: 2 x Hybird Turbos? to replace the stock ones? need to look into this in more detail, but thats the idea. Not keen on going single as its been done far to many times. I would prefer 2 Hybirds, or equivelant. Also will be upgrading the clutch and fly wheel at this point - Although I may well bye these parts before hand ans keep them in storage untill this stage. Hoping stage one will be compleated by March 2008. And stage 2 by September 2008. Will begin stage 3 and 4 whenevr funds allow me to Sorry for the essay, but thaught id keep you all updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ady Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Well i did alot of work on her this weekend and im absolotely chuffed with the result! Sat morning I changed: Gear Box Oil for some OEM V160 Oil OEM Oil Filter OEM Fuel Filter Silkoline Pro S Engine Oil 5W 40 Dot 5.1 Clutch fluid The Gear change is now amazing, and the clutch feels so much softer and free flowing. There is no more sticky and sluggish gear changes, and its not because the car got warm as it only drove less than 1 mile from my house to the garage and back. The oil that came out was black realy black, and it had some sort of aftermarket oil filter on it. I replaced it with a Toyota OEM one. They are a pain in the but to remove. I then filled her up with my silkoline pro s oil. The fuel what was in the origional filter ran out like a wee colour. A light yellow shade. We think that this was the ORIGIONAL fuel filter from whren the car was new. The gear box oil that came out was green in colour. Not shure why but the new v160 oil that went in was red. Was the easiest job out of them all as I used a transfer pump that can take 0.6 Leters a time. Filled it up untill it started seeping back out of the 'fill' hole. Instead of doing the old fashioned way of draining the clutch fluid, we opened the nipple valve on the gear box and shoved in the power bleeder. It drained the fluid in no time at all and i kept on topping up the resovoir bottel. Once the ''clean'' stuff was coming into the catch tank on the bleeder we stopped as we were happy the new dot 5.1 stuff had come through. Closed the nipple and that was it - Job done. Took her for a 2 mile test run and am absolutely chuffed with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ady Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Is that the fuel filter in the first pic? easy to change? The fuel filter is in the last piccy down. and yes it was easy to change. You just need a spanner - size 8 i think, could be a 10mm and a drip tray to catch the leaking fuel. but remember to switch your engition off!! all you have to do is undo the fuel lines going in and out of it and a few bolts mounting it onto a bracket. 10 mins work max (if you have a pit) but could be more orcwad if using ramps or a jack ect.
