more buildup pics (turbo)
Here are a few select pics of my progress as of a week ago or so.. I just haven't taken any really recent pics as the car is changing daily.
Engine with new custom turbo sitting in place... although after I got the manifold welded it sits much higher. The turbo has a 4" V-band (yes I have my specific, researched reasons)with divided T4 housing. It is BB and was build with the latest garrett GT series compressor and turbine wheels for maximum efficiency.
My new 3700 CFM fan and shround from Vintage Air with Mazdacomp radiator.
Trying to show the level of detail that I am trying to pay attention to. Completely polished and re-plated coils/ignitors fall into that category of usually overlooked items.
And my most recent pride and joy... my own custom tunned equal length, fully divided SS manifold. Just the primary runners here but the twin 38mm W/G runners should be welded Wednesday.

That is very nice. Is that turbo a custom brew? Yo mentioned latest GT compressor and turbine wheels, are you talking about GT-Q? Anyways, that's sweet. I'm sure your having some fun with that.

Yes, it has a GT-Q wheel and a rather large GT 63 trim compressor wheel. It's very similiar to a T04R with a BB CHRA custom turbine housing.
As for being clean... not to worry, my hands/face/clothes got *VERY* dirty trying to get it to that state!
