That sounds like it’s got some serious extracting power

Good idea, radiator fans might be a bit too big tho, it needs to be portable and easy to move into position otherwise my colleges will stop using it haha. I just don’t understand why they are £1500 when they are basically a fan and some ducting! Am I missing something?

That’s more like it! How loud is it when running?

Well after a lot of moaning over the last few winters we do the smoke test first with the cars exhaust backed outside. However it seems to be some of the higher end cars that stink the most, BMWs seem particularly Punjant even on tick over. Probably due to the amount of emissions systems running to supposidly reduce harmful gases.

Something like this, without the price tag! https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/232277784950 surely thats just a mobile extractor fan with some heat resistant ducting?

Hi all, winter will soon be here, the heater in work will be fired up and one side of the garage doors will be closed. Sounds cosey? Well it’s not. working in a garage / MOT station means one thing in the winter........Diesel fumes. the majority of cars on the roads today are diesel, without getting into a debate about there efficiency or affordability I’m going to say I HATE Diesel engines. They stink, make my eyes water and burn my nose and as my boss is old he doesn’t appreciate having both sets of doors open to air the place out in the colder months. This year I’m determined to come up with an affordable D.I.Y (or not) exhaust extraction system so I don’t have to put up with being slowly gassed to death by the devils fuel. Any suggestions welcome....

My bad, he refers to the pilot sport 3 .

Ive just ordered a set ben Collins (the stig) also gives these a mention in his book “how to drive” .

Good work! That's it then, I'll just need to save 20k !

I've never been a fan of the TTs, or automatics to be honest! And yes I've seen a few N/A turbo conversions buttttt this leads to my origional question........Are N/A engines the same as the GTEs? apart from the obvious.

This is true but there is something about the 2JZ supras that keeps bringing me back to autotrader and the forums! I cant help it!

Do the N/A engines require more strengthening ? They are a shorter bore stroke as well aren't they? What are the gearboxes in them like compared to the Zeds? I don't mind the work involved in swapping stuff over, in fact I'd prefere to build it myself if I'm honest! im just worried the window for me affording one is getting smaller, especially with the way the government is going on its "emissions war"

Anybody.......?

I'd like to know how compatible the different engines, gearboxes and chassis are. if I bought an automatic non turbo for a few grand then later on source the twin turbo engine and a manual gearbox, would it be a relatively simple job? Ive always wanted a supra and I've noticed the prices are shooting up, probably due to the fact that they will soon be exportable to the US and worth a lot more. would it be advisable to just buy one with the manual box and 2jz GTE or find a cheap rust free N/A auto and upgrade as and when I find the parts? Also is there a difference between the 2jz GTE in the supra and the Toyota aristo?

Are there any supra experts on here? I have some questions
