  5. You can get braising rods for mild steel. same concept as the above where you can use an LPG bottle Takes for ever to do though.
  6. So, this is a build out of necessity more than anything. I bought this 94 JZZ30 as a clean daily driver with a bit of poke July last year, mostly stock with just a cat back and some silly big cannons out the back and a Boost-T thingo. flash forward to Jan this year and a weapon of a hail storm ripped through Canberra and I ended up with a badly hail damaged car, So I still haven't had the old girl fixed yet, but hopefully by the end of the year she will be all shiny and new again. So apart from servicing it and changing the wheels I had an interesting experience when the viscous fan exploded and took the radiator shroud out with it, luckily the radiator wasn't damaged and with Toyota wanting $500 just for the fan hub it now has a couple of thermo fans keeping it cool I drove it around until a couple of weeks ago where I found a great deal on a HPI front mount kit, So I nabbed it and had it fitted in a couple of hours Fitting was a breeze, with every nut/bot and bracket needed to fit straight up with no cutting, I highly recommend using the Jap brand kits for cars, and in fact this kit was cheaper than 99% of the China ebay kits. Only down side to this kit is that the standard air box no longer fits, but HPI were kind enough to supply a pod filter and adapter with the kit (won't get that with ebay kits) Now for the interesting bit. Blew a turbo yesterday Which is a bummer because after a couple of months umming and ahhhing over what to do with the car, I had decided to keep it standard engine wise and throw a manual box up the middle and leave it at that. The car had other ideas unfortunately So what to do? buy a set of unknown stockers and hope they last? Nah High flow...Too expensive for what you get. Big Single...YUP But what to get? the Short list was a Kando T67-25G which have proven themselves to make power a plenty, but long term reliability??? Its an unknown, and to me something needs to last 5 years to be classed as reliable. A T78-33D popped up for sale on the forums here..My Original thought was it would be stupidly laggy. But the wonder of the interwebs led me to a few guys using the exact same turbo On 1JZ's and with reports of +ve pressure at around 3700rpm and full boost at 4500 on a stock 1J seemed of to me. A Borg Warner Airwerks 83-75, Wouldve been great but with a 3 week wait on stock and me needing this car back on the road ASAP. So I had a good thing about it, and decided that an old school style JDM Soarer would be different enough to satisfy the hipster in me, yet proven enough to not be walking into the unknown, as well as future proofing the car for the inevitable 3L high comp bottom end. So While I'm waiting for bits and pieces including the turbo to turn up. I'm shaking my head at myself for grabbing this huge turbo, while still having the Standard ECU and injectors in the car...yes yes I know....but I'm not a silly bugger on the street and just cruise around, So I wont have results for a while about how this turbo goes on a stock 1J at full noise for a while until I sort out injectors and a Piggy Back ECU. Anyway I'll find some more pics and through up over the next few days. Cheers Andrew

  19. Hey guys.. I have a dilemma, popped a turbo on zeee Jay Zed Looks like im going single turbo, but I'll need someone who can fab up a front/dump for it. Anyone know anyone who could do that in my driveway? Obviously I'll pay for the services, I just dont want to try and drive the car to an exhaust shop with no exhaust
  20. What size turbine housing?
  21. A few more I found I wish there were better photos of what they did with the filter mount, as the external pump sits right where the factory oil filter does.
  22. Brad I assume this isn't yours (from the US I think) But similar idea? Interesting that the pressure stage is the last rotor on the pump, I would've thought you would use the 1st rotor on the pump
