To save everyone the hassle of doing it them self.

Hey Jayce. Supra is getting a gearbox recondition. All the shennanigans finally caught up with me. Engine-wise things are good and getting better each time. Finally have reliable fuel delivery and boost control. Next I'll be increasing the size of the rear housing on the turbo. Midrange has increased immensely with the Autronic but the turbo is running out of puff.

I bought a spare block :) couldn't help myself. Taking the time to choose the right turbo. Hanging out with Daniel and Glen is bad :P But it will be a built engine and worked head.

How is your beast coming along?

Good to hear!

As the drought had killed off my money tree, progress had come to a dead stop. However, there is a star on the horizon, but it will be many moons before the pearl white wonder sees light of day under her own power!

P.S. I'm happy to supply the gas bottle (not the N2o, unfort'...) for cooking duties. I'll see what I need to organise with G & D on that one...

Hey Jayce been awhile see you there.

My mate Nick (VL) is coming along, should be a good day with a good mix of cars.

Mate joe's quick with these things. All up to you if the car is on the road in time :no:

PS, Starlet... (WTF)

I originaly had "the mighty starlet" but decided against it before posting the list. when the track day happens hopefully you will get to see why :)

Im taking the starlet to the dyno day just to see how little power it has.

Lets have a comp to see who can guess the closest figure, starting new topic

lol, it would be funny to see what they make...

Hey Jayce been awhile see you there.

G'day A'! It'll be good to see you and your beast again!

I'm looking forward to catching up with a heap of SAU'ers I've missed since beginning my self-imposed exile!

Ok, I'll play... I'll come along and represent SAU.

By the way, I never meant that we shoudlnt invite the Supra guys because they'll blow us away (power wise) I just meant that it will be an easy win for them if we are doing it as part of a 3 event challenge.

I dont like to lose ;)

It will be a good day anyway, so Im in. :D

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
