    Rich reacted to Mike@TD.co.uk in Problem With Heat Wrap   
    @MartinT There have been some subtle changes over the years, both from the days of JP and also when we moved manufacture in house.
     
    Yours however does now look very close, closer than normal. Can happily take a look at it for you if you'd like and see what is what.
     
    Thanks

    Rich reacted to smudge in Smudge's supercharged V8 build   
    Fuel system installed, lines run, pressure regulator mounted and connected into the fuel rails.
    The new FPR has to be mounted near the battery so we bought a slightly smaller unit. Unfortunately didn't realise the terminals were opposite to the OEM setup  so another slight delay until next week.
    Just a few tiny bits left now like checking all the pulleys, belts, wiring loom to be connected again and mount all the oil pressure, oil temp and intake air temp sensors.
    Base map is being created this weekend. Should be able to start testing everything soon!

    Do you have a service manuals? They have full specs and wiring diagrams for everything, so you should be able to trace the O2 sensor wiring schematic.

    Rich reacted to DanHouse in anyone have a Borla UEL manifold for sale?   
    Rich, I've heard a borla with my cat back and really liked it. Nothing else I've heard has come close to the sound I want. Also the dyno results after a remap were decent.

    So to fix the broken manifold I opted for a new TD UEL. Definitely looks the part.

    I also took the opportunity to heatshield the sump and the intake where it passes near the manifold.

    I'd be happy in an ASM harness like Lauren has. After all road cars have an integral roll cage these days, granted not as strong as a race spec one, but it's a far cry from the old days when cars would pancake to the door line if you flipped them.
    There's some interesting stuff here: https://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/pdf/esv/esv17/Proceed/00006.pdf
    Interesting conclusion:
    The roll cage increased the roof strength, as would be measured in FMVSS 216, to about seven times the weight of the vehicle. We believe that a factor of four would be adequate, but it would have to be applied at greater roll and pitch angles, perhaps a roll angle of 45 degrees and a pitch angle of 7.5 degrees.
    This suggests that at 5 times the vehicles weight, the GT86 roof is adequate to prevent neck injury on a roll over, without a supplemental cage. Depending on how that number was tested.

    Their "spec" is for some sort of "typical" output, a pure sine wave current is also given, it's 200A!
    The specs are here: https://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/t1500-1bdcp/
    Average Current Draw (13.8V Music)  100 A Max. Current Draw (13.8V Sinewave)   200 A   That sine wave would be over the recommended wiring spec mind you, as well as drawing a lot of current from the alternator.

    Rich got a reaction from spikyone in Uel mot emissions failure friendly garage needed   
    No idea. I doubt they fudged it, it was done at RRG Toyota not some dodgy back street. A properly working cat should give very low values on closed loop, those readings are certainly not outside the realms of possibility.
    It might just show 0 if it's under the threshold for detection, which could be fairly high (given it doesn't fail until 0.2%).

    Donington is an excellent track, it's the best track in the country I've driven (though I've not driven Oulton). The Craner Curves are something else.
    There's decent run off on many corners, but it is not a track you can just fly off with nothing to hit in all cases. Also don't underestimate how far the car will go on grass at speed.
