Sterling idea, 6BOOST!

Thanks John and David!

I bought these stainless header flanges sight unseen from someone in another state. I was disappointed when they arrived, as they are cut from 8mm plate, with only 6mm of material around the ports. I don't think they are suitable for the turbo manifolds I am making, so I am looking for some...

Cast cam blanks can correctly be referred to as billets. As an example, here is the first hit I got from google on the subject: http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/cam_corner.html With regards to cast and billet cranks, I agree that there is a generally accepted distinction between those...

Rod, billet can also refer to a casting which needs finishing machining.

Pictures Found Credit to 1JZRacing from Toymods for these:

The chap from Toymods no longer has the pictures that were in his thread. He did offer further explanation though: "basically its the hole at the bottom of the thread where the banjo fitting outlet bolts on that needs to be made smaller about 3mm instead of 6mm or so that it is you CANT make...

He is using a production block 4L.

No problem, I'll pass them on as soon as I get them. Which pulley and bearing do you mean, the top idler? I seem to remember someone posting instructions on how to reverse the internal spring mechanism so it works in the opposite direction. This would suit a belt run with no PS pump. The fan...

Good work David! There will be plenty of room for my manifolds and dump pipe with the alternator flipped and the hydraulic fan pump running the power steering.

It connects to the crankshaft to convert energy from the exhaust gas into useable power. The schematic is of a completely different setup to the previous photos. Turbocompound vs compounding turbos.

I'm a member and they were no longer there when I looked. I have PMed the guy who posted them asking for copies. I'll post them here if I get them.

I haven't done anything with the pump yet, but I am about to install my turbo so I will be looking to make some room in the engine bay. There is a thread on Toymods describing how to modify the valve in the fan pump.

How long until you run it with the ported heads and hot cams?

I am jealous! I had better get my turbo on... Which state do you live in? Edit: Nevermind, I just saw the QLD plates on your website... Please post some more videos!

Compressor bypass valves open when vacuum is present in the intake manifold. BOVs require an amount of pressure to be present in the intake piping AS WELL as vacuum in the intake manifold, to open. When I googled 'compressor bypass valve' the first result was...

If the preload of the wastegate spring has been changed, it will increase the likelihood of one turbo blowing back through the other. Was the wastegate pushrod shortened by EXACTLY the distance you moved the actuator by?

Justen's advice is spot on, the turbos are not too small. Perhaps you should fit a true compressor bypass valve like an OE Bosch unit (as opposed to a blowoff valve), if the reversion is bothering you. You don't appear to be using an airflow meter, is the reversion actually causing a problem?

I wish I had known that last week!
