Raven Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Just had an Exedy Heavy Duty Cushioned Button Clutch installed today. Huge difference, rated to handle around 300rwkw, so that's the weak link between the trans and engine sorted. Next up will be the diff, TRD 1.5 or 2 way LSD is next. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 No updates. Still the same. I'm spending my saved cash on my Open Water Dive Course, so I'm not touching it for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeAE71 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 When you say you laid the intercooler back can you describe what you mean? Did you bend the top or bottom brackets to make it sit further back? I just bought another Chaser and another of these kits. I want to avoid chopping the reo like I did last time and do this one a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) You Z bend the top bracket to lay it back (will need to trim the support for the bonnet catch) and slot the lower two brackets and bend them upwards so you can slide that back further too and allow for the angle of the cooler. You'll also need to remove the A/C Charge Port bracket and push the lines back towards the radiator. Then cut the ends of the chassis rails in a 1/4 circle fashion so the pipe runs neatly past it. If I get time on the weekend, I'll whip the front bar off and take some pictures for you if you require Luke.

LukeAE71 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 That would be sweet if you could get pics. I understand what you mean though now - very helpful. I cut so much out of my last one to fit it and was real disappointed with the fit. I am NOT doing that again. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 If it comes down to it, you're welcome to install the cooler here providing you supply the cutting discs for my dremel :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Also a little update. Had a highflow 100 cell catalytic converter fitted back on to the beast today. Unfortunately, boost has dropped from 0.9bar to 0.8bar (from 13psi to 11psi), and its noticeable too, so I wish this boost tee would hurry up and get here so I can wind it back up!

Willis Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hey man, This is purely from my experience, I'm not trying to hang crap on your car or your thread. I'm not sure if it's the same boost tee I'm thinking of but the Turbosmart boost tees are leaky as hell and have a tendency to spike pretty hard. In my short experience with them anyway. Mine was spiking out hard enough for fuel cut to engage. Even at lower RPM, fuel cut would sometimes engage. I'm not a mechanic and I'm no expert but my boost tee was binned as soon as I could afford a decent boost controller and both my boost leaking and spiking problems were solved instantaneously. Just a kind of heads up, I guess. Hope it all goes well for you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 This is a gated boost tee, so has a ball and spring inside. Bleed valves on the other hand have a tendency to spike as there is nothing really in place to restrict the line pressure properly. Its cheap and its going on for a dyno day, so if it spikes, I'll know about it. Will be getting a Greddy Profec B in the future, just can't afford it right now. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Ahk cool man. Yeah, those bleed valves are shonky as. Keen to see some dyno results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
