  1. Today
  2. Decied it was time i got some proper lifts for the car as the jack and axel stands were doing my head in. Decided on a set of kwik lifts much safer imo. So much easier to get it up in the air now.
  3. Yesterday
  4. It stopped working the next day anyone know what can be causing it to not function again? I have voltage coming to the fan switch
  5. Last week
  6. Managed to sort it now put an older type switch in and it worked the fan is now coming on at around 92 degrees is that correct and good for a 5E running 280bhp or would it be better to invest in a low temp thermostat?
  7. Bit light on the pictures and it’s certainly been a while. Got the front bearing out of the rear diff and cleaned it up and painted it. Been doing some of the welding work but I can’t find any photos of that. Big lump of aluminium in the lathe: machined a tool to push the rings into the bores and got those file fitted and labelled up. Need to get the pistons on the rods and start building the engine and finish the welding. Car can go back together then
  8. Earlier
  9. Has the ac been removed ? If so you need to bridge one of the connectors by the battery. Will stop the fan coming on straight away.
  10. I have this same issue. On my mk3 gt turbo 1994. The fan is always on constantly. Mines is 1) stays running when disconnected and when earthed it stops. is anyone able to confirm if it means I need the old type fan switch sensor or new type by this please?
  11. Sound mate, I should be all good then. Cheers πŸ‘
  12. Screamer is fine as it will be closed for the entire mot only opens on boost 😎
  13. Thanks Nick, Yeah spoke to another lad who has done the same and his went through mot fine. Just hope my tester is okay with the screamer lol
  14. Looking good dude πŸ‘Œ I have a sports cat I can fit it needed and a pipe to take it out so its a win win. Cheers nick
  15. Here's the link mate, you just have to message the seller and ask for just 1 pair πŸ‘ https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Black-Housing-Aftermarket-Headlamp-Headlight-For_1600226466504.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_title.48c361eb61sWSG
  16. where did u get head light from dude ??
  17. Managed to break one of these clips that holds the archliner in while working on the car. Luckily they are still available from toyota. Actually worked out cheaper to get two of them shipped over from japan via amayama than it would have cost me for one at my local toyota dealer!! I have also purchased a 400 cell cat from tegiwa to go in the exhaust just after the sump. Going to get my exhaust fabricator to make me up a new front pipe to house it once I get the car back out. Should help me to be emmisions compliant.
  18. Next up I decided to take the plunge and ordered a new ct9 ram horn external gate manifold kit from Sacha at wicked ep racing. I had been debating it for a while after problems with boost creep on the oem ct9. I like the ct9 and wanted to get the most out of it while still on standard engine management. A couple of months later it arrived, it really is an amazing bit of kit. Got the tial 38mm MVS from Mike at tuning developments. Made a start on getting it fitted, starting with clocking the compressor housing to face down and making a new hot pipe adapter to suit. I was t
  19. So about time I updated this, cars been tucked away in my good mate's garage again over the winter months. Meanwhile ive been busy making some upgrades. First up was the doorcards, mine had seen much better days and both corners had been snapped by someone trying to access the upper trim fixing. So went out and got myself some 3mm thick ply to remake them. I traced around the old cards and marked out all the holes, then I cut them to shape with a jigsaw and went about cutting all the holes out with a drill and multitool. Once I was done I got myself some suede fabric and
  20. Hi all Is there anyone using or at least willing to help with knowledge to read compressor maps so as to tell which one fits better to our 4efte little engine? Gtx2867r gen2 or g25-550? Now for the last 10 years I ve been using a precision ptb205-4828 with a .48 t3 hot side housing, fully forged engine with 265 cams, producing successfully 330hp. Attached the maps and exhaust flow diagrams of both. Also my dyno sheet with the old .48 housing. After a recent rebuild found cracks to the turbo housing so after lots of lots of research I found a .63 housing BUT with a result of all the
  21. Interesting reading this. What happens to the other port on the solenoid? Originally it goes on the cold side of the turbo. What if I send it to the higher side of the external Tial wastegate?
  22. lol all mine are electronics sensors cop trigger wheel custom looms ecu full pdm set up can bus buttons turbo kit interior respray lol
  23. Parts seam to be few and far between theses days or really expensive πŸ˜†
  24. Right it been a long old time since an update and was due to a few reasons. Life got in the way of the build responsibilities changed and everything was focused on my daughter and my self building my self and my company and if Monday pays off then the project will be back on track few things have changed and been sold but looking at sourcing parts. Will keep ya posted
  25. Finaly some news on the engine it's been built and ready for collection πŸ’ͺ 😎 πŸ‘Œ hopefully going up 1st March to pick it up.
