funny onion Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 How u getting with the project ? Did u get on well at the rr dayI really like the rocker cover I think summit like that would look good in minehey! (sorry still don't know your actual name?! lol) cars coming along slowly but surely, got it back at a nice 0.8 bar and it really shifts well, love driving it again. rapidly started to hate it over the last few weeks as it seemed every little thing i tried to do just failed and it was only running 0.4 bar which was abysmal lol.rolling road day next saturday so i'll put a pick of the graph up, whatever the result is i still love driving it and as a heavily relied upon daily it does me proud! lol need to get a build thread up for yours, will be mint when it's back on the road, looking forward to seeing it at shows and as sam said, picked up some custom 3mm exhaust manifold gaskets (one for mine one for his) which will hopefully be on this weekend and ready for the rollers.

funny onion Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thanks guys got a few bits on the way/ waiting to go on. And got her boosting at 0.8 again, seems to be pulling well but there is a slight flat spot before it comes on boost. Going on rollers next Saturday so we will see what the graph looks like and go from there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Might pop up to RR day if I remember lol and yeah i might start a thread eventually ha ha nice to see your hard work coming together yours and your fellas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 quick photo of the rolling road printout, had to pull it off the rollers because it was horrendously lean (as you can see from the graph) which was a shame, but sorted it now running 3 bar of fuel pressure and it seems happier than ever had some custom manifold to head gaskets made up as mine was blowing really really bad and it sounded like a tractor, was cheaper to have 2 of these made up than to get one oem one from toyota. old gasket vs new gasket;gave her a service as well while sam played with his new intercooler. fresh oil, oil filter. only just received the fuel filter so that's going on at weekend; Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Im gonna stress what socks said.

pick1 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Out of intrest how much it cost u to get gasket mate ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 originally got two made up to start with at a local gasket place, one for me one for sam. because it was the first time one of these gaskets had been run through the computer at the gasket place it cost around £30 for the two, but now could get them at about £10 each i think, they're absolutely spot on, 10000x better than oem gaskets imo thinking of getting some turbo-manifold and turbo-downpipe ones made up too and do the full set Quote Link to post Share on other sites
