The V8 Owners Forum -

Hi Cammy, I bought a set of HD shafts and rockers from "V8Tuner" and found them to be fine - no problems whatsoever. The guys name is Paul, if you get his answering machine leave your number he WILL get back to you - well he always has with me though it could be later after closing time. Regards Mi...

Where are these from?

I'm looking at std shafts with HD arms from v8tuner.co.uk. Does anyone know if those are okay?

Hi Guys

Just stumbled across this and thought I would share:

They do a thicker version of the scraper to act as a light duty girdle.

I think (in theory) the best/easiest way to run this would be to have a switch on the dash for the chargers. Either off to save fuel (and air goes around the charger) or on and the bypass is used to feed additional air at high rpm. Lets say I go charger/intercooler/turbo/aftercooler/throttle body/en...

Yeah, that is a problem.

It turns out HKS did a twin charger setup for the Toyota 4 pots. I'm going to try and find some info on them and see if it would be possible to do mine the same.

I hate it when that happens. With a long post I always copy the contents before submitting, just in case.

There's a few different ways it could work. I think I need to find someone who has done it to see what they think. May end up being more work that it's worth but is fun to investigate

Cool, that's good to know.

Cool, keep me posted.

Can you make it on Thursday?

Had to cancel as I came down with a fever. Rescheduling for Thursday 18th.

Let me know if you need an extra pair of hands when you get the motor back.

Bummer, hope it goes well.

Meeting up at the Defectors weld at about 5:40 this Wednes (10th). Anyone able to make it?

Fair point. I'm going to have to re-read it when at home to fully understand. Quickly though. What if I had a switch to turn the chargers on or off. While it's on the chargers spin regardless of what the turbos are doing. When the boost rises and the by-pass opens around the chargers, the pressure d...

Thanks guys, I've done some reading and various people who have done it are very happy with the results. It will be interesting to see what I could do with the gear I have as the valves already operate based on manifold pressure. I could perhaps reverse it so that they bypass the chargers when boost...

Cool. Just thought that since I already have chargers and the bypass gear that it would be reasonably cheap way to free up 30+ HP without having to deal with the stresses of extra boost; as it's not really compound charging because one takes over from the other.

Not much I would have thought Devon, the air is routed around the charger. There might be a bit of resistance compared to a straight pipe but it's not dragging it through the charger or anything. I just found a diagram of what I was thinking: http://bioage.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/tsi_airflo...
