I have thought of that but not keen on the idea. Don't get me wrong each to their own. But the whole idea of gas flow is not to create turbulence. Regardless of how it's done it will cause some sort of turbulence. Besides I don't think I will have the room under the bonnet.

Well finally got of my backside and finished the manifold. Now it's off to the sandblasters then coating and machine mating faces. If anyone has any other ideas or suggestions let me know. My wastegate is off the rear houseing to a 45mm turbosmart gate. Let me know your thoughts.

Looks awesome mate, wish my welding was to that standard.

Changed your mind about the wastegate being positioned on the turbo?

How have you sealed your v band clamp. Mine was leaking so I smeared copper max gasket silicon around the join and filled the v band clamp with silicon and placed it on let it set for 1 hour as recommended and tighten the clamp. Then found out that the wastegate was leaking too so have done the same thing.

Can't believe how much the sound of the car has changed with the new exhaust manifold and dump. Rest of the exhaust system is the same. Hope the tuner can alter the sound abit. Sounds like a rotor when I rev it. Running on all cylinders but very rich.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
