Now that's what I call a high flow cat!! :cheers:;)

Nice job Brendan. Mate, I'm not too far away, if you need a hand sometime give me a shout. What guys like you an me need though is people with tiny little hands to get in all the tight spaces...

Richard - I have no clue what you are talking about.

Well - nearly got the HKS 2835R on now - Pics to come.

I got one nut on the turbo flange to go - that's it - It's a tricky little bugger - You are right Richard - I need someone with small fingers and hands to get it started.

So should be back on the Rd soon - need a reducer/silicon 90deg bend if anyone has one lying around.

Then small adjustment to the tune to compensate for the slightly smaller turbo - and Bob's your Uncle.

Cheers,

hehe.

Just wait 'till 3pm, then head down to your local High School as the year 7 kids come out just offer one of them a free ride in your line if they'll squeeze their little hand in there and start the nut for ya. Wait a minute, scratch that, possible persecution as suspected peadophile might make this one for plan B. Instead just keep fu:)

Good job. Now I wanna know when you can take me for a spin!

hey!! I am missing something? I just saw the words HKS2835R in your post? what happend with the 3040? I though it was the shiznit? just a check/fix needed then back on it goes?

Will still be a weapon with the 2835, I imagine it will come on boost pretty hard and early compared to the 3040.

Nah - a challenge :D

Richard - 2835 is interim - whilst I decide on 3040 options. Also to see the diff between the 2835 and the 3040 with the same setup.

Options for 3040:

a) GCG Rebuild $950

B) New Garrett CHRA from the US $ approx $1200 delivered

c) GCG Rebuild and new compressor - prolly about $1300

d) looking at other options too - anyone got any other thoughts ?

With the new Comp wheel - should be a beast. But where to use all that goodness ?? ha ha ha :)

B-man, I don't have a 90 deg elbow handy, but if you can wait while I nip down the shops I can "fabricate" one for you using cardboard and masking tape. Trust me bro, my bother uses these hoses on his 8 second RX3.

Fully.

Richard

Well boys - it lives.

As it turned out, I had a 90 deg reducer bend left over from one of the other turbos I had on my car at some stage :)

So it's running - I took it for a burn tonight - boost comes on heaps earlier - I can tell cause the BOV makes heaps more noise, and earlier, compared to when the 3040 was on.

My dash lights are all busted (fuse I think and havent been f'ed fixing it), so I couldn't see tacho and boost guage - tomorrow , I'll get a much better idea of what is happening.

Quick tune to make sure everything is in order and lets see what happens.

Shit I have learned a lot about turbos doing all of this.

You can theorise all you want - but see shit for yourself really drives home the differences in compressor size, AR, turbine size and what effects these have on the charactaristcs of your turbo/engine combination.

    • 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.
