Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Intake temps - any one with charge intake temp gauge

rev3 std intercooler 16ish psi. Under a long pull from 3rd to 4th I've seen the intake temp rise from 25degC to 60+degC. It does cool down fairly quick too when off boost as you say, for any sensor, which doesnt start showing reduces temps, the moment you lift off, and boost goes down, then you are...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Intake temps - any one with charge intake temp gauge

running, the CC from the ST185CS with good airflow to radiator, and clean CC insides. normally peaking at 1.3bar on a CT26 twin scroll i see 68degrees C in ambients of around 25.C (holding against a load, ie steep long hill) high rpm's and thus less boost from my CT26, and its just under 55.C same a...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] !!! REV2 Turbo Mappable ECU !!!

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] !!! REV2 Turbo Mappable ECU !!!

not wishing to promote any virus software over any other, but the Antivir one ....free for personal use is the best i've found and personally use it, and happy to recommend it to anyone.

updated regulary as well. even fine for vista, which lots of the free ones dont seem so happy with.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] rev 2 head. Change cams or head

larger throttle body on the TVIS plenum chamber doesnt cause extra weakness on the #2 and #3

toyota with the ST185CS (RC / Grp.A) used a bigger throttle body, with the later ST185 getting it as well, guessing late rev 2 also had it....

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] !!! REV2 Turbo Mappable ECU !!!

i'm logging my stock ST185ECU

and closed loop only happens while the TVIS valve is closed, and very low throttle openings. ie max of 15~20%

boost or over 4200 rpm on my ECU its off closed loop and into the map's not good for economy :(

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] DIY Fuel Cut Defender

better to use a zenner diode... and a resistor, that way your boost gauge will move exactl the same until you hit the 'overload' voltage of the zenner diode. the advantage of this, is you get the gauge working exactly the same upto the zenner voltage rating ( 4.3 volt one are normally whats needed. ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] TVIS monitor

yep, the little tank plummed inline to the tvis control valve hold a resivour of vacume. when low rev's often the inlet plenum is working under vacume ( not boost ) so the little tank gets topped up ( it has a one way valve to stop it going back into the inlet plenum. then when the ECU reckons thing...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] TVIS monitor

they default to open, ie you loose bottom end torque like that. when the pipe or the electrical contact is open/unplugged.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] TVIS monitor

or wire directly at the plugs that go to the ECU. closer, easier to do and shorter wires. since doing mine, i've seen the ECU in cold weather often decide not to use the tvis in its optimal role. the tuneable/mapable rev2 ecu that Jeremy is doing, production just about to start ( see thread index ) ...

this the Uk is a free country, so if you dont want to support/buy help out with something you dont have to. the 3S-GTE community is about to get a major boost in the real understanding and tunability of the 3S-GTE engine. i still think if you are sent something free to test then help, thats just bad...
