Finally got my other project out of the way and starting putting it back together today.

Reunited at long last

New brake booster and master cylinder, have a rebuild kit for the clutch master cyl that I will get on to once I get some circlip pliers.

New engine loom going in

PWR radiator & in-tank oil cooler test fitting. All looking pretty good. Top pins are about 5mm out, and the factory brackets need to be flipped but all looks to sit well. I did have to bend a small lip on the car at the bottom in front of the radiator so that it didn't foul but only a few mm. Aiming to have the fuel tank and most of the wiring back in tomorrow.

Steel steering blush replacement for the rubber one has arrived going in tonight.

Also need to get a replacement dust cover for the input to the rack. Literally just touched it when cleaning the subframe and it fell apart. Apparently there is a toyota rubber one that is the same size and fits well.sristeerspacer.jpg

How the fk do you get the time to do this? Please let me know if you have managed to clone yourself!

Ha I wish. Yeah just slowly chip away at it. Good to have a space where it can just sit and you can put time in where you can.

Hi Paul

I am most impressed with the level of detail you have gone to. I am just embarking on a R32 build myself using the good fellows at Racepace so I am feeling rather inspired now after reading all the posts on this thread. Good luck with finishing it mate. I will start my own build thread I think. Ev.

Solid steering bush in, also grabbed the dust boot of my spare 34 rack - a little different but its rubber and fits up pretty well. Will do the trick seeing it wont be driven on the road.

Thanks Evan. Is your car already at Racepace? Was there on Thursday and there was a white 32 that looks like the one in your sig - a nice example! Get on to the build thread for sure.

Yes very tough! Should be even meaner once all the junk is removed from inside. Cage should look good too. Got to decide how that will look as well. I might make a hybrid of yours or Duncan's perhaps..

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
