What happened to the pics, this thread was awesome.

Would this thing bolt to my Xr6 turbo? Am I correct in assuming its a T4? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250601010338&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

Someone hurry up and find some screamin heads that bolt on, I wanna grab a set for cheap. LOL

Does this bolt onto a early 1UZ?

Cheers mate, what sort of turbo have I got?

I took a few videos maybe a year or so ago now, when we were wiring the bad boy up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shGbti_DFFQ

Yeah, cleaned every part so far, both rockers, entire sump and all attached parts, pickup, all in behind and around the rear main seal plate, and everything I can reach. Who cares. Im building a tough one, I will just keep rolling with this one for now. Sounds okay, like no knocking or...

Im modifying my engine sump at the moment, to increase capacity by a couple of litres, and will post a thread soon. I am also changing the engine oil pickup so that it sits deeper into my sump and putting some clever baffling in.

You can also see in the above pictures I kept the standard output housing and milled 10mm off it (in a lathe, bit rough and ready but worked perfectly) This allowed me to keep the standard speedo outputs and run them to my digital dash.

You can see in the previous two pictures the 10mm alloy plate which allows me to bolt the transfer case directly to the a340. I captured the six bolts for the factory outputs and grabbed the two outside ones, which normally remain unused, on the 2WD versions. If I ran into problems, I have a...

I thought long and hard about modifying the filler neck, it would not be a difficult proposition, simply cut your filler off where it turns 90 degrees out of your sump and cut the Surf one off at the same place, weld the 1UZ pickup onto the Surf sump and you have the same filler, but it would be...

Extending the breather is quite simple, standard breather is located in the centre of this photograph, remove it and put the surf one, put a piece of rubber hose on as long as you need to. I am running mine into the air box (air filter housing) which is sealed to the snorkel, which intakes cold...

The Surf sump had no magnets in it. I added 4 of the magnets from the 1UZ's A340. To pick up metal filings and any unwanted sump gremlins. I thought about dropping the pickup down into the sump further so it would get fluid even on steep angles (4x4ers subject thier vehicles to extreme...

Difference in height of the two sump pans. The sump adds nearly 2 litres of capacity. More capacity means more fluid, and the box should remain cooler for longer, or be able to work much harder for longer.

I chose to modify the standard A340 and mate it up to a Nissan Patrol Y60 transfer case, because I had the auto for free, and I could make the adaptor myself for under $100. Plus it was easier than mating up the 5 speed, and would be lighter, and allow me to be lazy when I want to. The two...

So I had to pull my gearbox as the front (TC) seal was leaking. I thought while it was out I would make some inroads into modding it. I have it in a 4x4, so up the beach it would be working much harder, temperatures would be much higher, and internals would be under more stress. I already have...

XR8tt, thanks for the info mate I have a XR6 turbo and want to buy some stainless flanges for it. Saw some on fleabay but was unsure whether or not they would fit. Wondering if you could help me with some information. Is it called a T04 or something? Once I know I can buy intake and exhaust...

Like any local cars some people are good with servicing, and others are poor. Not just a specific Japanese problem I would say. Any nationality has people that are lazy with servicing. I bought this sight unseen, locally. I am pretty happy the motor even runs at all with that amount of build...

Oh yeah, put a new gearbox in as the last one had just pretty much straight black oil in it. Damn imports, I think it had probably not seen oil in 100k. :( (I have a new motor that I am getting built, so not too stressed, just showing pics while I sort all the sump etc out.
