I liked the movie. The lady - HATES ME FOR IT. I have a "chick flick movie credit" now because of it. Damn aliens.

Well 'ello there. Lots has changed....

If life doesn't exist inside infinity, I'm not sure we exist at all.

Drew. Have you reset the ECU any time here recently? Have you taken the car for a 15 minute drive since you did? Also, have you checked for boost leaks? If you did - how did you check?

Looks good. There really isn't an in or out on the water lines of a turbo. As long as water flows "through" the center section, you're fine.

Need to check to make sure it is installed in the correct direction of flow. Also check to make sure that it is not blown. To do this, simply try to blow through it. If you can, its toast. Also, the stock BOV MUST be routed back to the intake hose, and not to atmosphere.

FAKE! There's no cars like that - that nice in Louisville. Every one knows that.... No really, you're car is sick looking man. Hope to see you at the KY meet later this year.

What BOV do you have on the car Drew?

Plumbing looks ok. Lets see the center section. The nipple on the water pump I think is just a drip tube...

Ian, Not only are they pinned so you can't get them wrong, if you get a ct20/26 from a celica or mr2, you can always make sure they are oriented right: The oil feed & oil return are on the same flange surface. There is no possible way you can get this 180 deg off. You would not be able to...

Bernie. If you don't know, DO NOT POST. Guys and gals, I promise you - if you continue posting in technical threads, and you don't know what you are talking about, most likely a ban hammer will come chasing you. This isn't a threat. This is one guy trying to weed out BS...

Sorry. Been busy burying friends in the ground. :3d_frown:

Ive seen the same thing in the heavy duty diesel world....

I dig your creative spark....

That's why I told the OP that both the turbine wheel & compressor wheel would need to be balanced. Theres 3 ways of balancing a turbocharger: 1.) Balance the turbine wheel & shaft, and compressor wheel separately. 2.) Balance the rotating assembly (turbine wheel & shaft, compressor wheel...

If the turbine wheel and compressor wheel are balanced, and you believe you have the mechanical know how to rebuild it - go for it.

Jeff. I saw this year, instead of IRP, we get something together at putnam park. Its a full SCCA style road course. Great facility. Can be made 100% supra private....

IIRC the hy and he exhaust housings only use a 3/4" wastegate port. Its very small indeed to try to handle the velocity of a gasoline engine. Even porting it out to 1" or 1 1/8" would not do the trick. Ive run both - the early hy housing and the late he housing. You'll need to weld a...

Can't just replace the compressor wheel unless you have the turbine & wheel balanced. Check some turbo charger rebuilding places. Chances are they have a junk room where they keep all the good stuff, but nothing that is really able to be re-sold... except when guys like you come along.

Sounds like you need to work on your own car, since you now own a supra. Check for boost leaks.
