Ok so I started the corolla yesterday with the bonnet open...and my mate noticed the hook for pulling the engine out that is mounted with the exhaust manifold was just swinging around in the breeze....So I turn it off and have a close look, and every single manifold bolt was loose, and they weren't when I put the SC on...so I can only assume the SC has been forcing the manifold off the head....Better keep an eye on this :P

haha top fuel dragster style! blow it clean of the engine!

[Rolla__Boy]

Ok, so the exhaust hasn't come off the head again yet :D yay

 

I am thinking of getting a larger, better flowing exhaust that is as quiet as they can make it, I am wondering though if the standard headers will be big enough? Anyone know??

 

Then I need to get the boot organised. I am kinda sick of the wheels that are on it, so I might look for something else.

 

It is getting lifted back up again soon too, I decided to actually make it handle, so I will be doing shocks, springs, bushes etc, I will be posting pics as I go.

 

I think it will wait til next summer to get painted, as I am running out of heat.

 

The good old 4K is running out of puff too :P So it's good I have my spare engine sitting waiting "wishing" hehe

 

Oh and I raced an R33 GTSt the other night, he beat me, but not by a massive amount...so I am on the warpath to hunt down some extra power from the next 4K, and see if I can beat him next time hehehehehe

that little thing smoked my BA the other week, i wonder if the tax man could see a 2 door turbo sports job as a work ute? call me if you need a hand with the spanners

[Rolla__Boy]

Thanks dude.

 

The weather is getting colder, and the demon is getting faster hehe :P

[Perthke55]

sounding nice dude, have u figured out a way to get the bolts to stay in place longer?maybe get a titanium, exhaust of the stock size?an strip the backseats out for weight reduction if you havent already, then see how you fare against the skyline.

[Rolla__Boy]

I don't know what bolts you mean? The exhaust is far too small, so I will just get a larger one, and it will be fine.

 

I don't want weight reduction, I would rather get more power. This is a dead standard mostly rooted smoke blowing 4K, and it did that well against the skyline...I'm happy enough ;)

[hint] 2 words...

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

and

 

;) did someone fart! ;)

 

 

 

There's your cryptic clue to extra horses :S

[Rolla__Boy]

More Boost?

[CD_rollaman]

ummmm

giggle gas ;)

 

took me a few seconds to work that one out.

[Rolla__Boy]

ohh

 

Yeah...NO!!!

[Perthke55]

maybe you could set that up for your newer engine.

[Rolla__Boy]

Nope...Just not interested in it at this stage

hey man just wondering what sort of throttlebody u are using cause I'm buying a sc14 supercharger for my 3T and i need something like u have set up! but mine is being set up after the supercharger as a blow through system or would it be better as a draw through system?

 

Cheers Sean

[Rolla__Boy]

Mine is carbied (ewww) no EFI for me yet, so I am not using a TB.

 

I think a blow through setup is always going to be better, mine is draw through, and as a result, I can't run an intercooler etc.

 

I will most likely be making a whole new setup for my 5K, which will either be blow through, or EFI setup as blow though.
