Here's some pipework i made up for a mates hilux (22r), running a highmount turbo

was a while ago but thought i should post in here to see what ppl thought, since i have been a UNIX sys admin for the last 5 years and no actual training in tig welding

Also did some piping in aluminium for a mates r33 project (24NDA), & an aluminium battery tray and a mild steel intake for another mates Evo 6 (99GSR), i'll put up some of those pics when i get a chance..

anyway, about the 'lux, he wanted stealth so we bought a tiny intercooler which fit nicely behind the front grill and bumper, then painted the lot in heat proof satin black paint. Piping is stainless steel so the inside doesn't rust.

pics...

hmm have seen intercooled diesels before with similiar setup to patrol/wrx over the engine style cooler.. or he want front mount? only tip would be keep the piping short and dont go for big diameter pipe as this will take the turbo longer to build positive manifold pressure

the guy i did this piping for was previously using a water to air cooler with remote radiator to cool the water but he found this wasn't very effective at keeping down intake temps (broken water pump or thermostat i think he said)

after going with the front mount there was a small but noticeable improvement in power, as the aftermarket ECU was registering colder intake temps and wasn't pullling back the timing/fuel to compensate

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
