Dude, you got the wiper tray to fit perfectly!! SWEET!! Cant wait to see this on the dyno. Have you noticed that Todd @ Turbo Toyotas is now making a top mount turbo?? I think your setup might have gave him some inspiration, looks like your doing things correctly if Todd is copying. The main difference in the kind of mainfold hes working with.

i didn't see that work going on, i'll check it out

Tamago

where would i go about seeing this progress on the turbotoyota stuff? i can't find anythign on their site?

hey great work man keep it up, *sigh* if only i had time on my hands lol. id be attempting stuff like this

Tamago

dude that piping is so short its gunna spool crazy quick. i would wrap that charge pipe running over the mototr or itll heat soak pretty bad, even with a vented hood, it wont hurt to wrap it anyway. make sure i/c to tb connections are very tight too man.

awesome work...i am at a loss for words after seeing how fast you are doing this and how well its working out

Tamago

should be friday night when i have it running. i will be driving the car for 3-4 days minus hood (parking it inside at night) and off boost (wastegate arm disconnected) then changing the oil and starting duct work for the IC etc. i will definitely be wrapping the charge pipe as well as most of the intake pipe and already have t-bolt clamps for everything (i believe strongly in t-bolts lol)

Tamago

well, no friday night startup, work got in the way..

not a ton of visual progress but i accomplished a ton today. got my wiring all sorted for the fuel computer, got the downpipe and midpipe fabbed up, finally buttoned down my intake area and got the oil cooler mounted/plumbed. put oil in it to check for leaks, so far none. i'm afraid the filter i'm running doesn't have a big enough o-ring footprint to not leak with the sandwich adaptor . guess we'll find out when i crank her up tomorrow. i ended up putting my water temp line at the bottom of the radiator next to the outlet to the pump. i figure having a stock water temp/idiotlight in the "proper" location (hottest point in the engine) leaves me open to put the defi sensor somewhere more informative. i figure this way i can keep an eye on how well my stock radiator is keeping up on cooling. i so far have not had to cut ANY of my stock ecu wires as i had a spare harness that i grabbed the MAF portion of the harness out of and just spliced it into the stock wiring harness on the passenger side instead of drivers. saves me headaches later if i ever have to pull the turbo out (you know, when the motor throws a rod in a few months ;) )








tomorrow i begin final button down and trying to program my fuel computer. i am short an rs232 cord (serial) for that AND the innovate wideband. i can at least get the defi stuff set up..

JSosa

that is just WAY to cool... Im dying to see some numbers off this car.

Tamago

even though i might jinx myself by typing this.. the car should be running tonight..

JSosa

VIDEO!!!
