Bit of update
so while on the dyno we discovered a few drops of oil under the car. A bit of investigation reveals the most likely culprit is a cam seal…. Annoying! So at some point I’ll have to pull the front of the engine off and install a new seal.
I’ve also been speaking to Brett at BDE and will be purchasing his now PS pulley for ATi crank pulley, which will resolve the issue of it spitting off its PS belt.
I’ve also been going through the datalogs of some of the drives I’ve had to identify the cause of the imbalance of fuelling between banks. While I’m not sure it’s totally the cause, I have found that the alternator is not keeping up with demand. While the pic shows voltage drop during a pull down to 13.06v, wider analysis identifies a direct correlation between the fuelling of the engine and the electrical systems being above or below 13.5v. So I’m going to have my alternator inspected, and if it’s performing as expected I’ll either look at having it uprated to 120amp (to offset the 24amp draw of the 525lph pump) or if that’s not possible I’ll look to upgrade to a 200amp unit from WPS or WOSP.

Only just discovered this forum from a post on the GTR forum about track time at Trax2001 so sorry it very short notice...
The UK Supra Owners Club have organised a Airfield/Trackday through
www.bookatrack.com at Bentwaters, nr Ipswich, on Sun 20 May 2001 for £89
per car.
We currently have a few places left but I'm sure a few Supras will pull
out before the event leaving a little more room for other cars. Any over the
maximum will be put in the reserves section until people drop out, all
places are first come first served.
To join up goto www.bookatrack.com
Create an account (if you haven't got one) and add your car to your "garage"
then log in and select the shopping option at the top of the screen, you
will see the Supra Event as it is marked as Bentwaters Park Sun 20 May 2001 .
All you have to do then is click the "book your place" button and follow the
instructions.
