I’ve taken a decent break lately… 1. Due to work and 2. Due to work
Working these long shifts and with a family makes it hard to focus 100% but I’m trying at it!
Last update was that I finally got this car to finally run and idle decent which.. it pretty much just stayed at that same spot. Since then I’ve buttoned up a couple things. Tried to tidy up the engine bay a little more before I take it on up to get tuned. The idle someone how is a lot smoother since the last post and I haven’t touched the tune at all since. With the car idling all decent and what not I thought to myself it would be a smart idea to drive my car around the neighborhood just to see how it feels. (It was at that moment I knew… I fucked up) So I was about to give it maybe 10%-15% throttle but it was about to get to traffic speed but any boost and it was all bad. While driving it shut off on me in the middle of the road. Oil shot out of the valve cover breather port and got everywhere. So after looking like a complete ass, I decieded I’d never do that again and just wait.
So, with this new mindset I decided to get a catch can from Driftmotions and then just make it look cleaner and tighten the oil feed plug on the back since it had been leaking as well. The car as of now doesn’t look too bad but I love a clean engine bay and with the water lines and all the other lines for the wastegate and boost controller, I just can’t even. It looks better than the twins still but not as clean as I’d prefer.
While looking for someone to tune my car I got desperate and asked on the forums in hopes someone in Germany could help me with a dyno tune or a street tune. The E-Tunes with Supra Store just was too inconvenient and time consuming but if I were in the US I’d probably still try to do it. After asking I got a reply from a guy named Arnout Van Der Kamp. If you know the supra community he is a huge part of its continuity but… He messaged me asking if I could come to the Netherlands and he would tune my car. Excited like a little school girl I had to do it of course so we set up the date for June 22nd and we will see what I can put down and if all is good.
I’ll update you guys with pics tomorrow on the process!
