Pigz... can you please go a Variable turbo? =D

No.

Got an example of VGT that can hack petrol temps that's available?

I know Borg Warner were playing around but from what Geoff at FullRace has said, not anytime soon.

This saddens me.

Porsche did a deal when building the 997 that no one else was to be given the technology to do it, I don't know if there is a time limit on it though

the new koenigsegg one: 1 has a 3d printed VGT apparently...

Hack them and get the plans!

Hows this progressing anyway?

Last weekend we put the intake pipes back on. I had them coated. Those Wiggins clamps are a prick to work with. Good thing they won't be played with again!!! Drawings for surge tank went off today to have that folded up in stainless. Micko will weld that. Oh also got the fuel rail anodised black.

Progress is painfully slow but it's just a case of working on it on the Saturdays that we both have off.

Might tackle the speed sensor display next. A mate of mine has the same unit and he mounted it on the ash tray lid. Looks sweet!

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
