Happy days!!! All my parts have arrived for the car a week early! So fingers crossed i can get it all fitted in time!

I'll definatly be there just possibly not in a jap car lol!

Oh bugger lol! I'll be worryin about it everytime im out in it now lol. I'll have a good look tomorrow in the light. Had the downpipe put on and put on a stainless steel mani so will look round there alot!

Was takin my car round my roads just to keep everything lubricated and moving cause its been sitting so long and going round a back road i hear a very loud ping like noise!!! Cars running perfect nothing rong with it, there where stones nearby just trying to figure out if it was a stone or a nut of something! Not good!!!

I have most some that stuff, got the following. actuator fuel pump fuel pressure reg larger injectors fmic i'm in a big delema if i should go TD04 or Hybrid CT9, just dunno, would cost more to Hybrid the CT9 i think but cheaper over all cause alot of my current stuff would do the trick.

Will really be close if i have my car ready or not, the regulator isn't being posted to me from japan untill the 24th, then need to fit it and get her on the RR. Driving down in my dirty Skoda Octavia just doesn't have the same appeal lol!

Oh bugger man thats a hell of a drive, i'm guessing 6 or or do!

Was on the WEPR site reading, they say their manifolds are to big to fit with the standard radiator, just wondering if anyone on here has fitted a TD04 and minifold without the need to buy a different radiator? Also i've no experience in changing turbos, sot way do they fit on? Manifold->Turbo->Downpipe->Exhaust? or what way and will a TD04 fit directly to the exhaust or downpipe or is a different exhaust needed too?

My intercooler arrived yesterday, I'm actually amazed to the size of it, much larger than i thought it woulda been. So onto fitting the thing, all the instructions are in Japanese, has anyone got a set of translated instruction they could email me or post to me? With a standard front bumber (EP-82 year 1991) is it easy to modify the bumper to allow for enuf airflow round the intercooler? Also has anyone fitted one of these themselves? Just curious how easy it is to do.

Bet you spot me quicker if i'm pretending to break into it LMAO! Yea, my parts started arriving already i was expecting them next week so its possible my GT will be ready for the road for this, really hope it is!

I'll be there, dunno if my car will be on the road for then but will drag either my bro down and he can drive me in his MR2 or my mate can bring me in his Scooby. Hope my cars ready by then though!

Expensive labour costs in England! My mechanic only charges £15 an hour

I am just using the stock one opened to vent into the atmosphere, sounds good and quite loud.

what are the benifits of changing the inlet manifold?

Its alot more expensive now lol! Considering bidding on this also. If your looking a starndard CT9 though mine will be for sale very soon, could let er go for £100 if your interested

Ok been advised to order some sort of ECU to go with all the parts i have comming or my engine will just eat itself to death and i don't want that! Max BHP i'm after is 240 so what would be an acceptable computer? It's getting someone that can fit the thing and map it for my car and its parts.

Just got a quote from Turbotechniques for hybriding my turbo and they wast 790+VAT so think I'll go the TD04 route to be honest, cause they said the turbo would only push 1.26 bar and about 180 bhp.

My cars a GT turbo. Will go have a look now, may have to scrap the dirt off it lol! Nope no writing at all on it.

Sorry for the bad pic! Anyone know what this exhaust is? This exhaust was on my car when i bought it just after it was imported. As you can see the back nozzel is about the same size as the back box. Is this a good or bad thing?

I havn't reseached a management system for my car yet, wots the standard these days?

Guys over at toyotagtturbo are saying they've recieved responses from greenline by the next day. I've emailed them a few times, guess i should just be patient.

Wouldn't mind going to this, hopefully my cars back on the road by then but will be tight!

seems strange they would have 2 90 degree angles when everything else is smoothed. Think i'll pay the extra though and buy bltiz.

why? Also lookin an analysis of the 2, i dopn't know much but i'm guessin the td04 had a longer lag time, all i want is 0-100 speed nothing beyond so is a fully reworked ct9 the best option is this case?

Hmmm interesting, would consider this one but them 2 right angles look scary
