Hey guys, just a quick question about the new mines baffle plates I've recently purchased..

I've done a few quick searches in regards to installing them as i want to give it ago myself but can only find threads on "what they do" or "should I get them or not"

So my question is, has anybody done this install themselves? If so, would you do it again? Seriously it can't be that hard can it?? Remove cam covers, remove old baffles, replace with new ones, replace cam covers?? Can't be much more to it.. Thanks for any depots in advance..

There is a right up in the DIY section with a PDF translated in English, only other thing it mentions is to change the location of the little cover things in there move them more to the rear of the engine

I'm also thinking of doing these cam baffles - does anyone know if there's an upper limit on cam size that will clear the baffles?

Put another way - does anyone know for sure whether 10.5 mm lift cams will present a problem? Anyone fitted 10.5 mm or bigger?

There are four of the covers that sit over the cams (on caps 3 & 4 as counted from the front). These are supposed to be moved to the back positions ie 6 & 7 but does anyone have any clue as to why?

The studs that protrude futher up to bolt the lobe covers onto will hit the mines baffles if they aren't moved further back.

The cam cover baffle mounting surface is actually sloped so there is more gap at the back, then at the front of the cover. That's why they tell you to move the studs to #6 an #7 cam caps.

High octane modded their kits so that if you forget to move the studs etc, they will still fit because of the holes they drilled in the plates.

has any used the new hioctane cam baffles ?

they look very similar to mines ones by photo comparison, just want to find out if they are a direct fit and most importantly work as they should?

or just stick to the tried and proven mines items?

I installed a set on the weekend. No ptoblems. Direct fit. I just followed the MINES install instructions.

I did have to make up a tiny spacer for the very front mounting hole and drill and tap a hole.

Mike, the cheapest ive found the genuine Mines baffles was around $300 from memory which isnt too bad considering the Hi Octane ones are somewhere in the high 200's. Only downside is the long wait for overseas shipping (allow up to 2 weeks) as opposed to the 30 min drive to Silverwater for the Hi Octane ones

they are no different to the Mines product. We're not talking rocket science here, Its only foam with channelled covers.

Use whichever one is more convenient for you.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
