Tiny update. Finally getting off my arse and organising things. Motorkhana is next weekend so I'm pretty keen for that. I have also paid entry for the Wakefield matsuri weekend (3rd/4th May) so need to make sure everything is fine for that. If anyone is there and sees me come say hi :)

Bought a Buddyclub water temp sensor adaptor and fitted that the other night. Gotta run the cable for the sensors through the firewall but I plugged them in to make sure all work working.

Also started gathering my wheels for matsuri, pulled my stockies out of the garage they were in and borrowed some rims from a mate. Got a couple of spare tyres to chuck on and I'll be buying new tyres for the rest from my local guy.1623628_10153989372895274_40423448432547

Hey Timmy, if you ever get the chance, I'd be interested to know how the readings on those Defi's compare to the readings the ECU gets? I've got 3 different water temp sensors and 3 different boost gauges, and every single one of them tells me something different :laugh:

Haha no worries, once I've got it all hooked up properly I'll compare and let you know :)

So I was entered in the annual Toyota Nationals motorkhana yesterday that is in Dubbo. Gotta show them Toyota's up ;P

Will have more pics and vids later but here is one of my final runs. Spun out and just decided to give the spectators a nice display of smoke :)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
