this my personal favorite FC ever !!
keep up the great work , and keep posting pics !!!

 

Good to see a "progress" thread with people actually working on the car!!!

 

time for a small update:

made an engine stand at work so i can start to build up the engine



new racing beat oil pressure regulator


new engine mounts, hood hinges and boostcontroller




pulled the old turbo apart and it was like looking at a dried up piece op clay...

 

I shall call it "El Dutch-o Awesome-o"

 

You will love the Racing Beat exhaust, guaranteed!

Are you gonna ditch the rats' nest along with all the emissions?

Port the wastegate on that turbo!!

 

i hope so

i want to keep all emissions off, so the rats nest is gone.
wastegate will be ported, but will do that when i am ready to put the turbo on
can do only one thing at a time

 

Great project man. I like all of the detailed pics... and especially the Racing Beat REV-TII exhaust pics. It's a great exhaust system... trust me. That old turbo looks like some sort of ancient artifact. lol

 

i really like your bodykit - and is that supra yours too?

anyhow rock on dude that **** is hot

 

the supra isn't mine, but of my best friend...

time for an update

replaced the rear oil pressure regulator with one of racing beat. then i shimmed the front regulator.


replaced the thermal by-pass pellet with a racing beat eliminator


put in the racing beat oil-baffle plate


started renewing the tape on the entire wiring loom, because i am not going to tuck away any wiring, it needs to be in shape when i am putting it all back together


test fitted my alternator relocation bracket, needs some adjustment for getting the pulleys aligned properly and also the mounting needs to be fixed. finishing it up this week, then i can measure what belts i need


then it was time for some work on the engine itself. sprayed it with a nice and fresh new colour.


and another one...



resulting in:





going back at it tomorrow

 

got back onto the alternator bracket today





fitment is great, pulleys align prefect now! now it just needs some finishing up...

we also sprayed the bellhousing and gearbox for as far as you can see




and i picked up my blow-off today

 

Sweet - keep at it!

 

I just nutted my pants a little! Keep at it man! i love the side-mounted alternator too, good idea!

 

i started porting the wastegate, to prevent boost-creep.i dont like to start spitting out apex seals through the exhaust






short passage on the left is nearly finished, the one on the right still needs to be ported.

 

sweet keep up the pics

 

Wait, you live with your parents, but you also have a supra, and a lot of nice tools,/ huge garage space with a lift, and inspection pit in another area? Damn, I wish my parents had a garage with a lift in it... sick!

 

nice work, I'm doing the same exact thing right now:

i wish...

the supra is not mine, but my friend's.
the garage is of his parents, i'm just really lucky that i may use this space!

 

Lol, lucky indeed!

 

yet another step further

wastegate porting is finished, so i mounted the turbo where it came from

 

Nice pics!, im also running a hybrid, and I love it for the price.

 

this is no hybrid, its the stock turbo...

 

Very nice project..! Keep up....

 

keep up the good work and nice parts and picture, i'm still learning, and like to do work like that myself one day, good luck

 

your car is DAMN SEXY

 

oops, my bad. I would recomend a electronic boost controller if you dont have one already. I ported my s5 wastegate also, but not nearly as much as yours. It boosted .6 bar with to4 intake side and clipped exhaust fins. My engine is also street ported. the ebc m,ight help you keep good boost.

Mine uses a mbc , i boost .8bar, but after a while it slowley goes back down to .6 bar
