i do these engines day in, day out lol give me a PM buddy and i'll talk you through it from start to finish Tim TB Developments ps, the 3sgte is a very very good engine, if you keep breaking them your obviously not looking after them properly lol i mean we've had a tad under 1000bhp from a 3sgte and still going strong.

it looks really simple but its quite time involved. Firstly i remove all the orignial switch gear, and then brige the holes together, so you end up with one big slot. i had to then file the middle down slightly to enlarge the gap so the boost controller would slide into the gap. Once this was done i masking taped up the boost controller to use it as a mould and fixed it into the piece, then blanked the sides and front with masking tap and made a reseviour at the back using carboard. Once you've got a sealed area i filled this will a chemical plastic material called "alumalight" once this goe

yeah thats us, i set up a small club and forum to help with the advertising of the business and for the customers who are all like minded people to chat about there cars etc. so at the main shows we organise a show stand mainly so we can all part up together and catch up. yeah the red with black roof was an mr2. thats the one i said about that just made 450bhp and 370ft/lbs at 1.2bar of boost. Tim TB Developments

not at all mate, nice to see it getting some attension ;) The stand was for my business, alot of the cars on there i've had a hand in building, unfortunatly one of our drag cars blew an oilfilter relocation line half way down the track and caught fire probably saw us trying to burn the remaining oil out the engine bay before we could rerun after repairing it. Also the red one just to the right of the picture is another customers car, just developed 450bhp and 370ft/lbs at 1.2bar of boost on its initial mapping session, going back in a few weeks to be mapped to 1.8bar and have the 100shot of

i'll make sure i don't clean it next time kev that make you feel better lol Tim TB Developments

thats mate for the kind comments and the business plug onyl got round to doing the panard rod today and the rear ARB, its definitly made a difference, back feels alot more planted but i'm not happy with the way its fitted (as it is an upgrade over a replacement) and the way its mounted is a bit getto for my liking, but this is understandable really as there was never a factory bar to upgrade. So i think i'm going to get hold of another rear axle and using the whiteline bar completely redesign the kit so there are proper mounting points on the axle over the hoop style additions. Also i don't

thanks mate, just had a nice big box arrive from whiteline today so i'll get some piccys up later Tim TB Developments

thanks mate, thats actually how i started out many years ago making custom interior parts and enclosures. seems ages ago now so took a few trials to remember all the techniques lol Tim TB Developments

i like to use genuine stuff where ever possible, surely there is some genuine rear lips about somewhere? Tim TB Developments

bit of an update, i've fitted the blitz nurspec system, really helped with the breathing at topend, it doesn't feel so strangled now near redline. really nice system ) i went for the full system back to the cat. Only downside is it really shows up where the previous owner had bodged the rear bumper to get the previous exhaust in, so now i'm on the look out for a new rear bumper, or the addition lip spoiler to match the front one I also fitted my stereo from my old mr2 into the car, i was getting so bored just driving around with no music to listen to, this is just a temporary thing as i re

when it stops raining i'll get some more piccys, i need to photo the bits from toyota like new grill and parcel shielf, the new blitz nurspec system and the blitz K1 turbo when it comes back from the builders :harhar: Tim TB Developments

theres a build thread on my forum, you'll have to regester but its free so your welcome to check it out http://www.tbdevelopments.com/forum/viewto...p;sk=t&sd=a but spec off the top of my head TB Dev GT2871r Turbo Kit with External Wastegaet TB Dev Polished Intake Pipe and Filter Greddy Intercooler Phoenix Power S80 Exhaust Apexi Power FC Blitz SD Boost Controller Running 1 bar. thats basically it, it made 315bhp at 1.1bar but was detuned to 1 bar and 300bhp for the bracket racing he does in the SDS. Tim TB Developments

thanks mate. what you want to know on the mr2? Tim TB Developments

sorry typo lol haha. Tim TB Developments

i plan to mate, i paid enough for it and waited over a year to find one i liked then another 3 months to get it from japan. once my mr2 is finished i'll use that for a few weeks and take this off the road and do the same treatment i did with the mr2, which is to replace every last bush and service item like bearings etc etc, powdercoat all the suspension members and completely underseal and stone chip protect the car top to bottom. Tim TB Developments

erm i didn't actually notice until i was right behind you, i was cruising along at about 90lol oops whats wrong with a starlet as an everyday car? i didn't go with some euro rubbish as i wanted to learn these cars so i could offer a tuning service through the business, plus saxo's are gay lol Tim TB Developments

yeah apart from the couple i've been working on in the workshop its the first one i've seen about yours looked clean. Tim TB Developments

the house is in kiddermisnter but the workshop is in stourport. Tim TB Developments

yeah that was me, i was popping up to see a mate of mine in nuneaton who managed to smash up his 550bhp mr2 i built for him didn't even have the airfilter or anything on it then. just as it came from japan and the bov Tim TB Developments

thanks guys, the white mr2 isn't mine its a customer build i did a few months back and ongoing thing, its only running a detuned 320bhp as he uses it everyday but also competes in the shakespear SDS drag series, Its braket racing so hes doing well, won 3 of his 5 events and come 2nd in the 4th, 5th was rained off i'm not sure what i have planned for it really, i have a 500bhp road going mr2 in the works as well but i just have enough time at the moment because of the business so this was meant to be a simple everyday car i wasn't going to play with but as you can tell by the parts its not g

thanks, no this one is a fresh import straight off the boat Tim TB Developments

thanks mate, please forgive the slowness of the pictures, i think its photobucket as there being slow to load on my site as well. Done some stuff to the interior now so need to update this when i can get some piccys, now has a radio so the dash doesn't look so vandalised haha Tim TB Developments

Hope you guys don't mind me posting this up, this is my new little glanza. its become my everyday car and workhorse for the business, gotta say for a little 1.3 i'm loving it great little cars and another bonus is i get to know the cars so i can offer services and upgrades on them with the rest of the business. Bought the car as a straight import and collected it 25th september 2009 1999 Starlet Glanza 38,008 Miles on the clock came with KYB Specials suspension alround Blitz Turbotimer "Aftermarket" exhaust (rattling and driving me nuts) Buddyclub P1 Alloys The cars really tidy for a 10 y

yeah best to do it without the engine running, as being a raising rate it will also reduce fuel pressure when its seeing a vaccum line idle. so if you set it to 33psi with a vacuum and the difference is 10psi like scot-ish says then your true base fuel pressure will be 43psi not 33psi. Tim TB Developments

probably easiest way to explain it buddy is to just say that both standard and aftermarket are raising rate fuel pressure regulators. but where the stock one i fixed at 33psi (i believe) which is your base fuel pressure the adjustable one you can set the base fuel pressure at what ever you want. like 50psi. Now the raising bit just means that the fuel pressure increases 1:1 with the boost pressure your reading. So if you look at your boost gauge its at 0 which means the stock fuel pressure is 33psi. Now if you run 1 bar of boost the fuel pressure will increase the same amount, so 33psi bas
