I don't know your story nor your particular pain, but having my car off the road for 90% of the time I've owned it and having it engineered + rego'ed last month and still off the road I know how it feels. I did a few "maccas" runs myself.

Good on ya mate. pics please :)

well like the engine has bee fully apart so just idled it for bout 30 min tto work it in gave it a little kick in the balls and it scared the shit out of me....lol only at like 5 pound very not used to it ive been driving a shit house VB commodore for the 10 months while i have been building this so i spose any thing would scare me

umm just have to bleed up the brakes up a bit more and get the rest of the exhaust made (only 3 inch dump at the moment) then ill flaush the oil out tomorrow put tthe motul in her

but yeah smiles from ear to ear i cant sleep noe im excitted its going for a check up tomorrow!!

i made a promise to myself that after it is running that i would never touch anotherspanner for 6 months im sick of the shit so ill pay someone to have a good look over do a safety inspection

turbogasket0020ci.jpg

turbo is T3/T4 sorta anyway

its slightly bigger than some T3/T4's ive seen its off a 6.5 ltr turbo diesal Chevy pick up

(like the ambo's but a 98 model)

manifold is cutom made to suit this turbo and fit in bay

custom 3 inch dump

intercooler

Xtreme clutch heavy duty

externall gate

GTR pump

malpassi fuel reg (not yet fitted)

ummm oh shit its been so long i forget whats there but thats the main things anyway

im hoping for anything over 200 kw ATW at the moment and ill be really happy

not yet dynoed only got it to run last night so she a little piggy at the moment but its there and it kicks you in the arse hard when it hits boost

but i have the engineer over by the end of week so should be on the road next week

fingers crossed

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
