Yep, and a nice big power steering fluid stain on the ground from his ute lol.

Well this arvo, temp fitted the turbos to line up piping, then bolted them up.

Points to note;

These GTX turbo's are not a bolt on turbo for RB26's.

You need to buy the rear housings seperate.

I chopped the intake snout and outlet to weld on stock piping, and got the flanges welded on the outlet pipes to bolt up to the twin turbo pipes..

Also port matched inlets to compressor housings, as they are 3inch inlets, and inlets are 2 inch on the stock pipes.

Wastegate actuator mounting bracket holes need to spaced out more to bolt up to compressor housings.

Oil and water lines on the CHRA don't have anywhere to bolt to the compressor housings (seemed fine without them).

Oil drain pipes also needed the holes diegrinded.

Gearbox is on too. Just a few little things to go.

Tuesday was spent finishing off engine accesories and piping, as well as exhaust, oils, belts etc.

Cranked engine over with no plugs to get oil through the oil cooler and engine. 20 seconds later, oil pressure :D

Filled radiator up with water only to settle head gasket sealing material, and once I dump the run in oil, I'll put in coolant.

Once it was ready to go, it fired up straight away, smooth and quiet. Like it never got pulled apart!!

So bedded in the rings going up the blue mountains and I've put 270kms on it so far. Next is another oil and filter change then tune!!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
