looks nice and all but one thing i dont like in it is the front guards see how much of room they have even with those big wheels makes it look not right for some reason , but thats just me though i hate big wheel arches its a pita to fill even with big arse rims , cause they make the rims look small

better offset wheels can rectify that situation, I have 17x8 with a +30 on the front of my soarer and they fill the guards perfectly without spacers

its a soarer aerocabin with a xA70 (mark 3 supra) front nose and bonnet and headlights etc...
so basically, like a sil-eighty, or onevia, except a supra-soarer

Well if I get the panels with the JZA70 halfcut (doubtful, as you have to pay more for them, dont you?) then I'll consider it

You mean you will consider giving them to me
Dont have to pay extra for panels at most places, but it comes down to luck as to wether the panels are in useable condition.
But even if you dont get the panels u get other important things like lights an light surrounds an stuff like that....so its still good

Some people have suggested the slightly sleeker rounder shape of the supra nose on a soarer looks out of place, but I quite like the look of it. I think it looks pretty damn cool.
Same with the soapra, and if you have been unlucky enough not to see a soapra, here's what they look like -

Hey Guys,
I recently added a high flowed CT26 to my 7M and ever since doing so i've been hearing the fluttering sound when backing off... the car never used to do this with the standard CT26. I expected my BOV was bung so i purchased a new one yesterday and its made no difference at all. The car feels laggier than before, as if the boost is escaping somewhere (either than or the larger turbo is creating this sensation)
Any ideas as to why my car would be doing this?

WELL OBVIOUSLY IT WILL BE LAGGIER AS ITS BEEN HIFLOWED th turbine and compressor wheels might have been enlarged which explains why u have lag and for the flutter noise that will happen either way as urs Is a karman vortex afm so air will go back past the afm easily which will inturn give u the noise which is occurring from compressor surge

WTF? I have enough mechanical knowledge to know that that isn't true
The lag comments make sense, and i totally understand that
BUT
the fluttering noise is called compressor surge, it is caused by a lack of venting when the accelerator is depressed. Air tries to travel back into the intake but is blocked, and heads in the opposite direction, then hits the instake wheel causing the noise as the turbo's spin is interrupted
What do you mean "it will happen either way" ??
Upgrading from a CT26 to a high flowed version shouldn't suddenly cause compressor surge when running exactly the same boost as far as i know... hence my legitimate question

I haven't changed any pod filters, the old turbo never made this noise... the new one does. ALL i have changed is the turbo.

i thought an airbox's purpose was to isolate where the air the engine is sucking up comes from, and to house the air filter.
this way air is sucked in from somewhere (ie, front of the car, or through a small intake scoop) rather than sucking in hot engine bay air through the pod.

So did i!
for the record 7M's have a Karmann Vortex style AFM, not a flap - either way it should have nothing to do with my car fluttering or not.
If my wastegate actuator on the new turbo is stuffed, could this cause it?

Are u running a pod filter at all , if u are then to get rid of the noise put ur stock air filter back on and it should quieten the noise a fair bit its only the bigger turbo that’s making the noise , one or both the wheels have been changed to larger ones plus the core has been machined out that’s a good enuf reason to hear the noise as there plenty more room for air to travel and since the blades are bigger the louder the noise when the air rushes back into it cause of the greater surface area on the blades
Hope it makes sense anyway peple are dying to get that noise including me , wonder why u try to get rid of it lollllllll

Something tells me he's not trying to get rid of it or keep it, just discover the cause of it, and discover the cause of the car feeling laggier.
Perhaps once high flowed, the turbo running the same amount of boost is out of its efficiency range, and needs to be increased?
Confirm that before you do it, but I'm pretty sure if it's been high flowed then its efficiency range will have changed

if u read the above post properly you would know that i alredy knew the 7m had the karman vortex afm
the flap type afm wont give much flutter at all due to the flap restrictin the air flow out the pod filter but as soon as abigger turbo is added to a flap afm the flutter noise will get louder thats my input from experience
merudo u are right there but it also serves as a noise reduction/ellimination device which explains why most of them are shaped funny and not all of ema are just a small box with a filter in it , the odd shapes are baffles which enable the air to flow more smoother thus creating less noise

actually the air flowing smoother idea is probably because it would (speculation mode from here on) would eliminate swirling air in front of the filter meaning the engine could more efficiently suck in the air it requires, without creating turbulence in the airbox
obviously the amount of air the engine needs and the design of the car would influence the shape of the airbox
(end speculation mode)

Also yeah if ur waste gate actuator is stuffed as in stuck open the turbo will be laggy as the exhaust gasses will be bypassing the turbo exhaust blades hence not much boost

Could very well be the reason cause the turbo blades are still spinning (even while the car is idling remember ) which would probably be enuf to cause the flutter noise

if the wastegate was stuck open a bit, then not only would it be laggier, but wouldnt you also have to compensate with your boost controller to get the same amount of boost? (ie, set it to MORE boost to achieve the same numbers)

mate if flutter is your main concern then maybe you should be driving a nissan...
I put it to you that youre fitting the T28 roller to get the flutter, the extra power and response will just be a bonus

the compressor surge would have been there before but most likley not as noticable. having a bigger front wheel will amplify how loud it is.
ie when i had factory twins on the cressida, if i backed of slow i could get it to make compressor surge noise, very faintly. now with the large compressor the surge noise is violently loud.
as for the lag, the rear wheel and housing mods completed with the highflow would be causing some lag, i wouldnt have thought it would be that great, but i have seen high flows go bad. GCG did high flowed a mates rb20 turbo 4 times and all it did was compressor surge, in the end he got sick of them trying to fix it and got a gt30. they said that had not had this happen with any of the others they had performed.
hope that info helps dan
shane.

YEAH JUST REPLACING THE TWINS although mine isnt a roller bearing its just a t28 im hoping it will be ok on the car as its off a ra28 or whatever its called so might have trouble in the engine bay
and yeah might be better of than the twins in terms of power and response im hoping as the guy im getting it off says they spool faster tha the twins , will let all know when im done

Apexi A-VCR boost controller
440cc injectors
upgrading to twin ct12a steel wheels,
Marlew Manufacturing 3inch dump into twin 2.5" exhaust
then all the other wank options such as big stereo PS2 and broadcast receptive 6inch screen, etc etc.

whats the cause?

went to throw some more oil in there that i bought on my way home from work...
take the oil cap off
for the first time ever, its milky as all shit on the inside of the cap.
i nearly fucking kicked the shit out of the car right there and then.
i'm not losing coolant though.
I only blow a LITTLE blue smoke on startup (suspected stem seals)
no white smoke to be seen
the car doesn't want to rev much above 5k rpm
and when it does, according to my boost gauge its still producing full boost (0.62 bar, 9psi)
-HOWEVER-
the car feels like boost never comes on. (WHEN HOT)
it's quite odd. the car sort of for a split second constantly surges a little but it just wont rev, it just doesnt want to rev.
FUCK THIS PIECE OF SHIT MOTOR
It will probably be cheaper for me to buy a replacement 1G (gen2 just the motor nothing else) than to get a replacement HG and gasket kit, get the head attended to if there's any pitting or if its warped at all
ahhh who knows.
IMPORTANT NOTE: CAR FEELS PERFECT WHEN COLD
this only occurs when hot.
and you've all heard me mention how three sets of leads all have the distributor --> ignitor coil lead arcing out, and i dont know why
brand
new
leads
and that one always arcs out
what the fuck would be causing that....

yeah
but thats a lot of money i was hoping the 1G would hold together until i had a bit of cash saved up
this is all right at the time where rego comes up (mid september) so that means CTP insurance as well
if a gasket kit is fairly inexpensive for the 1G i will do it myself or attempt to at least

U WILL FIND THAT after this long driving the car with a blown hg that the head is probably corroded , check in ur coolant reservoir at the bottom to see if there’s any powdery red brick colored residue if so then high possibility that the head is corroded and will need to be replaced

put a bottle of "seal-up" in your radiator
works a treat

no its called sealup and its like chemiweld but works much much muuuuuch better, instead of blocking up EVERYTHING, inlcuding water jackets like chemiweld does, it gets in where the gasket is cracked or head is coroded and fills those holes,
its baout $20 a bottle and works an absolutle treat...my mate uses it on his MX83
one treatment lasts about 3 months
should give you plenty of tiem to save for a new motor i.e. 1JZ

Dont take this the worng way but ive been asked to join central coast modified cars about 3 times now, i'd join and i reckon what you guys are doing is pretty cool, but i see so many cars getting around with your stickers on them that dont seem to have a whole crap load modified about them.
