Heh Heh :kewl:

Just wanted to see how much these Celica boxes can really handle.

Don't worry - it's only the baby 3.5 getting the turbos, with a leisurely 8.13:1 compression. Should be good for about 10PSI.

What it lacks in finesse, it should make up for in brute force.

ive just put an rb20det in the front off a 66 skyline that had a L28 in it...... if ya putin in an rb, turbo is the go..... and braking will need to be upgraded... i have fitted volvo vent 4 spot calipers to mine with vented discs......

you might be able to find some one that makes engine mounts...... i had to custom make mine.... as for gearbox mount i was able to bolt the orginal of  mine straight to the gearbox... any other help i an give just drop me a pm.....

i just cant get the sound of the n/a r31 at tsukuba out of my head...sounded absolutely awesome. But the turbo route will give me more power for my $$. A tough decision pete, thanks for the offer of help as i will take you up on that!

Paul & Stacey (sorry, I still get confused as to who is posting), :D

don't forget that Autech produced an atmo RB26 and fitted it to the R-32 4-door.

It was the whole RB-26 deal, minus the TT's and with compression bumped up to make up for it (somewhat, anyway).

Were you talking about the atmo R-32 that the chick built in the BMI video, with the Mines R-34. that Supra and the carbied R-31? That 32 did sound mean, didn't it? I have to agree with you there!

Cheers, and good luck with the build.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
