can i just ask why you would want to remove it?

I've removed all the internal deadening in my supra and replaced it with dynamat. by the time i remvoed it from the fire wall, transmission tunnel, seat wells, rear seat, pillars and boot i had a couple 9L buckets. all up it would have saved maybe less than 10kgs to the car.

If you doing it to save weight dont bother as it wont make a noticable difference. it will just allow your exhaust to resionate throught the cabin.

if you want to remove sound deadening to make weight savings get the car up on a hoist and grind off all the under car deadening. it is a terrible job and will take a long time. once you grind it down to bare metal you will need to at least paint it again to avoid rust etc.

PS are you going to shannons?

Well my car isn't a daily driver and basically I am trying to increase the full potential of my car without spending a ridiculous amount of cash. I tell you what, from the items I have removed now I have noticed a HUGE gain in performance with every aspect of the car so now I guess you could say that I am hooked on loosing weight!

Check out the items I have removed thus far:

Even if it is only 'less than 10kg'... to me, that is still heeeaps! Everything makes a difference. :P

I understand where your coming from though in terms of the exhaust resonating through the cabin but put it this way, it seems my car is slowly but surely turning into a Race Car... so I have accepted the fact that the exhaust is going to possibly a pain! Thanks for your suggestion nonetheless. :D

Oh and insurance, well lets just say that theres no dramas! :D

Cheers,

Try boc gases or somewhere similar.
BOC in fyshwick would probably be the best place to try, if they wont deal with you directly they can probably point you in the right direction.

BTW, thanks guys for the info on pointing me in the right direction to get some Dry Ice! I shall try hopefully someday soon.

Cheers,

BOC in Fyshwick is the best place to go just make sure you take an esky or stirafome (don't know how to spell it) box to take it home in cos they won't give you anything to carry it in. They'll just scoop it into what ever you have....bucket, hat, pockets :-) I think the last time I got some they charged me about $30 for 4kgs which should be enough to your whole car.

Haha good thinking with the esky etc because I was just going to rock up there with nothing! LOL! $30 for 4kgs doesn't sound to bad too, considering the weight I will hopefully lose! :D

    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
    • Are you telling me I'm going to need a code reader etc to just change the battery when it dies...  Why did I let you talk me into allowing Kate to buy this car lol
