I still haven't got the concrete in the boot yet. How about you?

You machine should get some nice low 12's with all that new power you have, either that or a good 1/4 mile long burnout.:(

Naa no concrete yet mate :lol:

On my current rubber she's a 1/4 mile burnout special. On semi-comps hopefully it'll be quick!? I need to wait till the 'toy budget' has enough in it to get some RE540's or the like.

So which do you find best? Concrete or paper? Which weighs more, 100kg concrete / 100kg paper :D

I think I covered it pretty well on the freehorsepower thread on the SDU forum.  

The peltier is a highpower unit but, still only 4x4cm. Its stuck on the bottom plate with bits of metal putty.

You know that thread is 40+ pages long!!

RE540s? I thought they were a low profile go round corners fast tyre. That is not what you want for the 1/4. the sidewalls don't like to flex and if you let them down too much the flex will damage the side wall cause they aren't designed to do that.

Theeeeeeis is what you waaant : http://www.vpwmailorder.com/asp/product_pa...d=1021&manu_id=

You can MAKE the 275s fit under the guards. :D

Yeah the 540's are a track tyre, it's just that I can get them fairly cheap in comparison to other street legal comp' tyres. The options are still open though :( Mate I'd love a set of 275 BF Drag Radials, or Nitto’s. I take it those prices are in AUD per tyre? $440ea. Hmmm a set of the rear would be the go!

Yep aussi $$

You could get them cheaper elsewhere.

Hey Rev,

I see you have thermo taped your dump pipe ... could you do that to intercooler piping as well?

What sort of stuff did you use to tape it?

Cheers mate

Yes I wrapped the outlet pipe from turbo to intercooler with the left overs.

I used DEI brand thermo tape (revolution racegear osb. park). It has a nice stiched marker to help get the overlap right.

Make sure you do a good job of painting the dump pipe in high temp silicone based paint, and make sure it is 'cured' properly, this will make the job last. Also I add another coat of paint over the top of the wrap. Not necessary on the ic pipe tho.

The wrapping is a painfully slow process so give yourself a couple of hours, and do it properly or the un-even heat dispesion can cause metal fatigue cracks in the long term. the 2inch wide stuff is the go.

Cool!

Does it work well?

yeah its good. You can hold onto the dump pipe with your hand when the turbo is on boost without third degree burns.

It traps the heat in the pipe. Heat is energy and therefore is retained in the stored engery of the moving exhaust gas. The exhaust gas comes out the back pipe faster.

You make some power from that and a little from a slightly cooler engine bay. You get some fuel ecconomy bonus too (not a lot tho).

    • 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.
