Hi Bakes

Are you using one large pod to feed both turbos? I can see a y peice in one photo but it might be something else in frame.

Twin HKS pods. The Y piece you can see is the HKS pipe that goes to the front mount. From the Y the piping splits into two lines to each turbo.

Hi all...just got home

All the turbo's, piping, air filters etc done.

All the fuel system done.

Vipec install done.

Full service done (except coolant as radiator is still out)

Techedge controller wired in and connected.

Bloody balancer bolt is tighter than a fishes alibi...i have a special impact wrench that puts 600ft/lbs of impact torque through the bolt...no love. Have to drop the car down on its wheels and try the old 5th gear, handbrake, footbrake and 1mtr length of pipe over the end of the breaker bar method tomm.

mate with your set up you will push 330rwkw no probs, I have GTSS's and all the other goodies and am running a very safe 436rwhp at only 16 psi.

Proves that if you spend the money on good gear in a well thought out combo you can make good, safe power without throwing gail force winds down the 26's throat

Sounding better and better everyday... just got a nice cheque in the post here so looks like mine will be complete soon too :laugh: Clutch goes in next week then tune on Friday :/

Best of luck, I'm sure you are itching to get her back

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
