ahh, so this is where dan and rob have been hiding

whats cracking

 

[HKS_TRD]

lol

not much dude

got any parts for sale, I need a few bits and pieces

 

[HKS_TRD]

So had a look at the turbos last night.... they have HKS stamped on the front housings... Garret tags on the middle bit...

But other than a set of flange adaptors for the exhaust manifolds, they use the stock intake piping from the 1J and have my old dumps fitted up to them now... no shaft play and they are def ball bearing plus they have braided oil lines now as well...

plus the rear housings are still rather small... they are def bigger than stockies though


Pics up later today but you cant see much... What turbos do they sound like people cos I though 25/30s were bigger and would have different intake piping??

Thoughts?


EDIT: so apparently they are looking more and more like HKS T3Gs... going to have a look tonight hopefully... also they are apparently ball bearing meaning they would be rebuilt

Whats the deal with the new setup, got it running yet?

 

[beatle]

umm, i got a bunch of stock & broken jza70 stuff.
none of which is probabably any use to you
everything else i am hording as spares (PS pump, Hydro pump etc)

Ah OK. What I am looking for is the grommets in the front wheel wells that the brake hardlines pass through from the engine bay to the wheel well

What brings you to these shores anyway?

 

[beatle]

try chris, (disturbed1) he was parting out a JZA70 cut the other day

i've been on here for a while, mainly trawling tech sections and the like when i need info. but i came on the other day to find a horn button i saw on ebay a few years ago. the one with the pre 89 supra logo on it. i just bought a nardi and the momo button will look kind of out of place . but i have found some TRD ones on UK ebay, so if i dont find them again soon i'll get one of them

Shame you can't see the flames that were coming out the gate . More pics from Tuesday.

The A80's where they should be

 

[LilMissMkIII]

[HKS_TRD]

whats goin on in here yo..

finally got my power steering fixed.
it seems that the lines that run from the rack to the pump under the motor are interchangable with a80 ones
made it dam cheap for me

also.
ball joints anyone ?
where to get cheap in particular

 

[HKS_TRD]

When I got new balljoints I just got genuine Toyota, was not sure if there even was any aftermarket stuff out there.

How is the new turbo going?

Are you going to be down my way again any time soon?

Also, do you know of anyone selling an ABS unit? I need it for detailing experiments so not fussed on condition really

factory toyota ball joints are sooo expensive
was looking at the ones from driftmotion for $59us each seems the way to go. autobarn cost price is $185 each
335rrp or some crap

and yes actually, iam comming over your way on the 9th. and i have an abs unit from a jza70. i dont have the brackett as i sent that to xsjado.
but if your just after the unit ive got that no worries.


new turbos going great.
took a while to get everything settled down, and i blew one of the power steering lines under my car which i had to replace too, but ive only just got everything working really nicely
iam thinking i prob got around 300rwkw, but yet to be dynod.
pretty much same mods as jon but with a larger turbo and more boost.
440's
gt35r with .82ar
1.4bar
safc

feels really strong. was quicker than a 260rwkw evo so id have to be close to 300 i guess

 

[HKS_TRD]

Wow man sounds like its all coming together nicely

How much did you want for that ABS unit, out of curiosity where did you get it from? I wont need the bracket so thats all good man

aw man i dont kno.
not much.

it was in my halfcut
i cbf moving all the abs stuff into my car
just sitting there taking up space

 

[HKS_TRD]

OK bring it with you.

is the plastic cover in good shape?

I plan to take it apart to some degree, see if can go back together or no, would rather try this on a spare for obvious reasons.

Sadly I will still have no car to show you ....
