Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Valve cover sealing

just around the rear left hand corner of the cover as its known to leak from this area so a wee bit of sealant wont go a miss!

also if you've ever took one off you'll notice toyota also use some on all the corners, im guessing if thwey done it theres god reason

[Mk2] [Turbo] Valve cover sealing

what do you lot use when reselaing the cam cover after it has been removed?

toyota seemed to use some form of black silicone sealant, i have tons of normal clear silicone but double checking before i go ahead and use it. would rather use the same equiptment as Toyota

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Swirl Pot? Where

I know what your saying, but its just another thing to go wrong/fail Keep it as simple as poss is my theory! We were at york drag way last weekend and my car was running out of fuel at the end of the strip, there was only 1 litre in there, so maybe 3 litres and more will be ok? i can see your point...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Swirl Pot? Where

that is an option yes but not always possible when yer out on a track!

plus its not costing me alot to do already have the main pump and lifter pump installed from previous system.

so all im buying is the swirl pot and some lines and AN fittings.

because the car is predominately going to be used on track thats why and with the previous set up i was getting some problems when fuel was low and under hard cornering.

so this measure is being taken to prevent it from occuring thats why.

in short does 2 things 1) prevent fuel aeration 2) prevents fuel starvation when the amain tank is low on fuel and under hard cornering the fuel sloshes about to get it to work you could do as i've done and have a HV pump in tank as a lifter pump to the swirl pot with a filter along the the way, the...
