Here's a old-school Toyota Celica Turbo... owned by TOM's then by Trust:

It apparently magically dissapeared after a few races in 1983. Now look where it's ended... in someones backyard laying to rot:

It's crazy how much abandoned cars there is in Japan... all just rusting away.

I'm looking at doing a 100k service on the GTR in the coming weeks. Should I replace my water pump with a standard pump or n1 water pump

Go see Rob And Rocco at Synergy, they get Tru-flo pumps fro japan, basically an N1 copy for a fraction of the price. Put one on my old 33 just before i sold it.

just took the 200 for the first spin in a few weeks. tis nice. crushed exhaust is making itself painfully obvious however. has trouble boosting past 0.8 bar, used to get out to 1.2 easy. gotta replace that soon, and install my ebc i reckon.

Jap Motorsport = Adelaide Jap?

I was going to buy a RB20 long motor for $1k, until I found a complete RB25DET cheaper :huh:

no. Jap Motorsport - JMS www.japanesemotorsport.com.au

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
