  1. As you can see in the pic below there is a water way in the inlet of the cylinder head that is leaking. The gasket only covers a bit of it so when the manifold is bolted up it doesn't sit true. Anyone ever had this issue? Any ideas on how to resolve it?

  2. Rav 4 is what I've been recommended by rbz.

    I'm actually an engineer by trade but I'm looking for something a bit more 'oem look'. I did have a universal cable fitted but would rather something that's a better fit.

  3. I beg to differ. The fuel in the tank might be cooler, but the fuel going into the engine wouldn't be as it would be sat in the rail until used.

    If the return line isn't big enough then the min base pressure will be higher.

    So if I was to increase the size of the return line for safest/optimum results? Wouldn't this require me running an an6 line all the way back to the tank? Any other methods you might recommend?

  4. Yeah dude that's the exact site I've been looking at, as going to get a aeromotive fpr too. The return line should be around 6.4mm and the AN6 hose measures around 8mm thus is theory the return would create a choke point/pressure area which could cause a few issues. Or so I'd think?


  5. I'm looking into getting fittings and hose for my Zisco fuel rail. I already have the supplied hose and fitting from Rail-Filter.


    I'm now left with an AN10 hole in the rail. Obviously it'll need to be reduced to whatever size to then be taken from the FPR and then to the return.



    I was looking at changing all the hoses to braided ones but that leaves me with the return hose (hard pipe) what's best to do with that?


  6. About time I updated this as there's been ALOT of work done!


    Well after having the car completely stripped I cleaned all the interior etc.


    The dash board and other trim was sent away to get flocked and came back looking rather tasty

    Wasn't long until the whole lot was fitted

    Also acquired a lovely Bride seat from Idrees and this was given a good clean and I stitched up a few burst seams and sits all pretty in the drivers side. (better pics are needed!)

    Also had a friend re trim the door cards

    After considering wether or not to go for braces or a cage my wallet decided for me at the time and went for braces. A Zisco 6 point to be precise.

    D4A8508B-CA58-4126-8C22-E2C0AB96A6E8-483



    All fitted after hours of shouting and screaming at it...

    Think the rear could do with being carpeted but have more important things to think about. Like the engine!



    As in the previous posts I have Hawwys old forged engine. Also have the TRD diff gearbox from my no longer daily drive starlet previously imaged (swapped for a Pulsar. Regretted that almost immediately its shit).


    All ancillaries given a clean and paint. New belts etc fitted.

    6F7B9407-2EF4-4B11-B095-347F9D9B878C.jpg



    All brand new Roose Motorsport silicone hoses fitted everywhere. Nice subtle Black.


    Also did I mention I got some poly mounts and a clear belt cover too :)



    Then on to the clutch and flywheel. Toda lightened flywheel and an ACT Clutch



    BB374C34-15DF-47DC-BACE-46EBD7FB09F7.jpg


    All fitted :)

    A few more Zisco goodies I decided to treat myself to!


    FDBED0CA-AFB3-4795-8774-50074A97DF15.jpg


    Not awfully keen on some of the welding on the manifold but if it works Im happy! Also the fuel rail bore is massive!! AN-10!



    And my catch can from Dean at RW Developments

    After a long time thinking about turbo set ups. I always longed for a Race-Tech GT28 set up but at the time was out of my budget.


    Fortunately for me 'Blitz' put his up for sale for a price I couldn't refuse!

    Absolute work of art.



    Heres a test fit to the engine


    D4CEE79A-8384-4EB5-9987-18433553F91D.jpg



    We thought that it might be possible that it would fit in the bay with the turbo fitted. We were wrong. Heres some of it before we realised this.

    After a few cuts and bruises she was in! (and turbo refitted...)

    Dat screamer tho...


    B24E1C11-A90E-4ED5-A66A-B31DFE611803.jpg



    Now just to work out these cheap ass AN fittings I bought. Think I got the wrong ones for the hose...


    87B7C41B-57FB-45A3-904F-E6A72F73CA9E.jpg



    Also plugged most of it in apart from vacuums and inlet stuff as awaiting gaskets etc.


    Have Emanage Ultimate as well for it but that'll get fitted etc when its getting mapped!



    All thats really left to get is;



    Brakes (deposit paid)


    Bumper, skirts etc


    New FPR and braided lines


    Rear caliper refurb


    Rear ARB and panhard rod


    Rear axle poly bushes


    Delivery of Race-Tech exhaust


    Radiator


    Intercooler and pipework (in talks with Dean from RW about fabrication)


    CV joints/boots


    Just little bits and bobs after that. Want nearly everything to be brand new! Or as close to it as possible!









  7. Recently got myself a race-tech GT28 turbo kit (second hand). I have no intercooler pipework and dont want to bodge tonnes of lengths of pipe and joiners. Want something relatively neat looking. I cant think of any way other than taking the car somewhere to have it all custom made. Will need to get everything from scratch (core,pipes etc)


    Anyone had experience making they're own or know of any kits that may only need very slight modification?
