Well, suppose i shoud update this.
Been a while, due to me breaking up with my long term fiance and moving back in to my parents. finally got the car back last week, quite difficult to move a shell with no steering!
anyway:
I have this turbo now:
The specs:
T3/T4 STAGE V Turbo
. T3 6 bolt outlet turbine housing .83 A/R
. 76 trim T350 turbine wheel (stage 5)
. T04E housing 2.5" inlet 2.5" outlet
. 56 trim GT40 compressor wheel 2.41/3.22 (61mm inducer) and flow 65lb/min
. Divided Turbo Flange
It also comes with this:
manifold
wastegate
blow off vale
fitting kit
manual boost controller
large core intercooler
various blue silicone and blue alloy pipe to make inlet
Boot floor welded in:
think it's strong enough?
And rad sat in:
This basically means the interior is ready for the final prep for paint!
well!!!
My parts turned up:
Close up of the turbo:
Pretty big...
Had to do some bulkhead modifcations, but its in!
well ive been doing my bike licence so it may have to wait a while...
But anyway update. Nothing exciting, just making use of the space i have and a spare day.
Got it in my parents garage/barn.
Drilled the rear bumper to allow the airflow from the rad out:

The decided that due to the sheer amount of torque and power i intend on running, I was going to seam weld the front end.
Thats all for now. over to get the engine tomorrow, get it on the stand and built up. going to buy a compressor tomorrow too, to get the interior in primer.
Done alot so far.
bought a compressor:
Got the bay in paint.
Then decided to go and start on the bumper to use the remainder of paint:

Right. update time.
So, i got the engine finished yesterday before i went out to meet a lovely lady..
Today, engine came out my room and got bolted to the recon'd box with the quaife fitted.
Then i found i'd lost my engine hoist. lol. turns out mattyo still had it. so, got a hand to lift it in, and decided im using the EVO intercooler that was fitted to my ex's leon.
I then went on to fit the external waste gate and turbo.
then the wiring, and started doing the fuel lines properly.
