Just having a bit of thinking process on how the turbo will work boltd up to my new manifold.

originally this manifold had a T3 under it .. so oil feeds were in the correct positions. if that makes sense.

what im getting at is ..if i fit a ball bearing turbo ..which are suited to the Rb25/20 bolt up arrangement. the oil feed will be on teh side and the return pointing into the block.

is it possible to rotate the housings .. so that the oil feeds thru from the top ..like they do from factory.....at home without going to a turbo "expert" to have it done by "expert" hands. without any issues? believe they call this "clocking" a turbo.

just undo the housing bolts man and it'll all be rotatable.

Just get a teflon line made up with a 90 degree speedflow fitting on the end to get it out from the flange then send it to the block.

You can angle the oil feed about 5 degrees if you need a bit more angle.

thanks ash .i wasnt sure if the turbo was actually rotatable without any sealing issues or something like that.

i assume your talkin about the return side using a 90deg? u wouldnt happen to have any pics of your old 25 set up would u? coz it would be pretty much teh same

Scribble... no idea whats its made out of ... i'm assuming steel or some kind... stainless i dunno .. its HPC coated. i bought it from a m8 ..who had an original promo car from fred gibson...paid a good penny for it .. but i dont want to say.

    • 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.
