First post, first sentence.....

Haha dam, thank you

Definitely Keen. What day? Or am I blind?

never been to kimbolton pub, but cheltenham pub use to have good food. (do not hold me to that, haven't been in a few years)

my parents go to the Ashhurst pub allot, the one closer to napier road.

 

Got the wheels on Bluey and dropped er' down a wee bit. Might have taken a wee bit too much off the front springs, is pretty much on the bump stops. And just under 100mm clearance, but aaah! The Po-po should love it anyway!

Back height could go a little lower, for the meantime I've just got a few 25L containers in the boot to drop it down a little..

 

A few piccys. Hope their not too big.

 

Nice bosozoku pipe you have there

on a serious note, I like this allot!

ill just leave this here.

No way she's making it to nats. Got the 300th attempt at a dyno tune this after noon.

No promises. But is looking promising that I will be there in the corolla.

Dumb question, should the wider tyres not be on the front?

also love what you are doing with this. Almost makes me want to go out and buy one.

Mate. So glad my cert man also gave me a wof.

All my wheel nuts are mismatched and I'm well under 100mm too. Haha

For the exhaust. The dynomax super turbo muffler I am using makes it so super quiet. May be worth looking at if you don't like it noisy?

Can't afford to make it to Nats this year.

Mortgage and need a new daily.

So it turns out there was a split in the hose, off the pump, inside the fuel tank. Cant believe it took so long to find it.

Need to put the tank back in then go back to Keith's to finish the tune.

In other news, im very thankful for making the sump guard for it...

Will try make it.

Corolla will not be present though.

Has no petrol tank at present.

In other news, it may have new wheels for the March meeting.

The cams where doing some funny things on the first dyno too. but that may have been related to one of the many other problems.

Guy on altezza forum had a similar cam rattle and eventually found that it was because of low oil pressure, caused by the sump being bashed into the pickup point. Mine is a little dented next to the drain bung.

Im also using 5w40 penrite oil, so will go to a 5w30 castrol synthetic and see it that helps.

Not really so keen on pulling the cambelt off with what ever else needs to be removed to access the filter.

It has a rattle in the vvti. Hopefully it is that gauze filter causing it from lack of oil pressure.

Turns out it was a split in the hose inside the tank. Just above the pump. So couldn't build up pressure. Can't believe it took so long to spot it.

And yes has a return line.

Oh dam, that doesn't make it easy.

Strange as all the other engines have them in a easy to access spot, on the side of the head.

Sweet, must deff be the pump. What a hassle! But at least it didn't cost you a motor. Although it sounds like you need a new cam wheel.

Yes. New pump is not to bad. Keith found a few forum posts about cleaning the valve/solenoid on the vvti on 2zz and 1jz engines. So hopefully it may be that. Causes an inconsistent oil flow to the cams.

We did test it off the car. Still only got 20psi.

Going back to him to chuck it at him and say its a piece of shit and hopefully get a replacement. As he supplied it originally.

would this be true? from http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php/77433-3sge-beams-altezza-fuel-pressure

 

 

62 stock with returnless. 

i've dropped mine down to 40ish psi with a return line.

We got the pump out. 

It's a Walbro 5ca400. 12v and 50psi (just found out factory altezza needs 62psi, so thats a pretty shit start.)

It is receiving 12v and 3.8Amps from the car.  And got to 20psi on a gauge when we tested it in car.

So we hooked a car battery straight onto the pump and it still only went to 20psi.

So my old man is going to see the electrician with the pump tomorrow. 

does this sound accurate?? from http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php/77433-3sge-beams-altezza-fuel-pressure

Cheers for your help yesterday eke_zetec_RWD.

Went for another dyno tune today, to try sort this excessive fuel issue.

After spending the morning checking everything and trying to find the reason why it was not running right when leaner.

We figured out that there was only 20psi coming from the fuel pump, when it should be 40+

So will have to pull the tank out tomorrow to see what sort of pump the electrician put in the tank.

And try work out why it is so weak.

No driving for me anytime soon.

Cheers man, keep an eye on www.i-love-recycle.com

there has been another identical pair on there since.

Fender mirrors is フェンダーミラー

ive noticed a few singles pop up on Yahoo auctions too, in the past few weeks.

Had some new nolathane rod ends made up for the trailing arms on the diff.

Here is one i already had on the front of the lower trailing arms.

Cheers, so stoked to have it road legal.

Nope, wasn't needed.

we told the certifier who did all the work. And he was fine with that.
