Bought heaps more hose yesterday and some clamps to fix it while I have the space.

Old one coming out Old and new - The housings are massively different A couple of things that had to be done were - Studs that I ordered were massive - Totally too long. 2 50mm and 2 45mm would have done fine - The water feed had to be taken off the block to get it to bolt to the turbo then bent a bit so it could go to the turbo around the housing - I had to chop up a spanner (15/16" size) to get it past the block and the frame - Dump pipe had to be disconnected from the cat converter Other than that so far everything has been pretty simple - I need to put the intake setup back on and the cat/dump back on.

SOLD!

Put the turbo in today - It's almost done now just need to get the oil line connected and one more of the coolant lines connected. It really is a massive turbo More photos to come tomorrow.

Oh hello, what do we have here?

An old friend bought a genuine kit from Kudos for a couple of hundred which I think is OK considering it came with most of the hoses for the engine bay. I think silicone looks tacky so I would go down the genuine route too.

Hnnng - I'm looking forward to getting my ATR45SAT in this weekend

Looks a lot better! I've done my own and used a good quality plastic sealant on them - Hasn't returned for over 8 months now, It also makes it a breeze to get any bugs and dirt off the headlights too. Your car looks very nice with the lights restored now

Soooo.. I'm pretty pissed off. I ordered the battery from near the delivery address so I could get it ASAP they still haven't shipped it yet so I raised an eBay case with them. I was really looking forward to getting the car starting properly again but I guess not. Looking at buying coilpack holders from someone in the UK that stops it arcing out. Stay tuned

PM Sent regarding sway bars

Some recent-ish photos of my car - I didn't reaise I didn't put up any recent ones Wetpan with a group of mates

Battery still hasn't arrived yet which I'm quite grumpy about considering the store is literally 20 minutes from my work but they don't allow pickup. I jump started it yesterday and took it for a drive, it is seriously 100% better - Feels exactly like it should now. I would guess that the plugs will get fouled up again soon without the tune so I won't keep driving it around much until it gets done. My friend had her car done at JEM and they did her injectors with 1000cc ones not sure if they are top/side feed etc so once I find out I'll probably just get them to do the injectors while it's there.

What a champion thanks again - I'll wait for someone else to confirm also

Thanks Dan, I read something similar just wanted to double check. Another question - Does anyone know what size the studs are on the Hypergear ATR45 turbo dump side - I understand that most are actually bolts but there are two studs also.

Sure can - Will be between $25 and $50 for shipping

Any news Danny?

Hi Guys, Is it better to run vacuum off the compressor housing to the boost controller or block that off and run it from the stock location in R33s (intercooler pipe?) My ATR45SAT has it on the compressor housing and a friend with a similar turbo just blocked off his compressor housing one and ran as per above. Thanks!

God this makes me moist.

BUMP

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Agreed Complete motor with loom, ECU etc can be had for under $2500 (Not sure about NEO though)

I have an ATR45SAT sitting at home now waiting to go in. I'll probably install it in the next week or so then it gets tuned around this time next month so I can tell you how it goes. Supposed to fit on the low mount stock manifold also. Watch this space and I'll update you when It's done

I had to pull my fuel pump out again today. I left a clamp off the fuel pump inlet because it was such a tight fit. The fuel caused the hose to expand and soften a bit so I could get the up further on the pump and get the clam on it properly. I used this as a good chance to get my boot cleaned up and put it back together and cleanup the relay wiring. Unfortunately my battery seems to have dropped a cell or two so despite being sufficient voltage, it hadn't got enough cranking current to start the car. I'll buy another battery this week - Probably a Optima Yellow Top or something of the sort - I actually have an old one here but it's low on voltage and I don't have a charger. Pics I bought some interior clips off eBay which are perfect for the colour of the interior and perfect fit for the standard hole size - Link below for those interested http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271962334061?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Bunnings also sell kits for bolt extraction pretty cheap. They should get this off with ease.

I have checked all places but cant hear or see any. I don't really have a boost leak tester because I don't have a air compressor unfortunately. I think when it goes to JEM, I'll have them check it all over for me too I think she really does need a good tune though

BUMP! Make me an offer worst I can say is no. I just need money to finish my build!
