  1. where can we get they adapter plates? thats interesting !
  2. ive got one but still trying to figure it out lol
  3. agreed. turbo timers are worth nothing, i didnt even wire mine in as i dont see the point of them. but i was making the point of the price difference thats all. GLWS regardless
  4. its over priced in my opinion mate, might be worth while dropping the price a bit mate, i bought one of these and a turbo timer recently for £125 . just trying to help pal.
  5. Sorry to hijack but could these bushes cause crunching into down gears ? Ie 2nd , 4th and reverse ?
  6. ok so i took her out tonight for running about and wasnt happy with how it was running, sturreing a few times not really got any power as such. so i pulled over amd looked at the dizzy cap and noticed the guy had marked 2 white lines on the metal infront of the dizzy cap so i turned the cap so the round metal leg was in the middle of the painted lines, tightened up a intake pipe and it runs so much sweeter! no stuttering, has power etc so i guess the 10* setting would work for safety as its retarded , so all good now mate.
  7. the issues are sorted mate, well when i say sorted ive only driven t from the garage to the house cause im too scared to drive it lol.. cost me £800 for the swap over, cleaning etc and then £420 for the engine, compression is 160 across all 4.. cleaned the intercooler with petrol internally and all the pipes. just a bit worried about this dizzy cap. i didnt realise i would need to get the map looked at again, that costs a fair bit cause its a dastek
  8. im sure it was advanced a b little tbh but as long as you think its fine at 10* then kl
  9. so it will be fine where it is then?
  10. i know this might be a really stupid question .. recently got a replacement engine fitted by my local garage, but now that i have it back i had a thought today regarding the position of the dizzy cap for timing etc. when i asked him he said he set it at 10* btdc, im running a unichip mapped etc already but im worried about det etc. could any one give me advice on what i should do? engine was replaced due to what we believe to have been foreign objects in the intake and screwing the pistons etc ..
  11. would something like this be alright? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-STARLET-GLANZA-GT-TURBO-EP91-FRONT-MOUNT-INTERCOOLER-HARD-PIPE-KIT-NEW-/131262289555?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e8fd79693
  12. intake side had the damage.. im not so sure what to do, so get the intake manifold checked also?
  13. ok guys so my engine died recently which i have now replaced and it will be fitted over the next few days. ive been told my pistons look like they have had some sort of foreign objects causing some damage to the sides with scoring and the turbo blades show some signs of damage also. my question is, will it be dangerous to use my existing intercooler ? im concerned about any dirt or anything which may be in their, i have since changed my air filter as the old one i notice had some damage to the material. is their a quick way to get rid of any dirt in their? like fill it with water and dra
  14. i still dont have the parts nor has he contacted me with a resolution, im sorry but he is a complete bullshiter . paypal have now refunded the cash no thanks to him but he is now down the money he "stole" so get it up ye!
  15. ehh? well paypal have emialed and said they have settled in my favor money will be returned as he hasnt contacted them or done anything about it.
  16. ok lovely, seems to be either 5-30 or 5-40 to 10-40 is the way to go, .. ok thanks guys
  17. ok guys so ive bought a replacment tall block instead of rebuilding mine. its got 62k miles with compression im told of 170psi across the board. im not keen on using an engine flush really, i usually use 5w-40 shell ultra but would i be best to use a very cheap semi synth oil to flush round the engine for say 10 miles, then flush and put decent 5-30 or 5-40 oil in? or would an engine flush be better ?
