That's impressive, I thought you would get it way higher up the rpm band, but it might be because of the great setup you have there. I'm looking forward to seeing your drag results.

Man, I love it. What turbine housing did you use, the 18cm one. At what rpm did it start spooling and reach full boost.

Sure, no problem, I'll take one tonight and post it here for you.

Hi, ye, the rear sump is going to be a problem, it's going to sit where there powersteering rack is, you're going to have to get a front sump engine.

The other side:

Yip, it's going to be coated, that's why I painted it so I can decide on black or the "silver" coating.

Thanks, it's 1 5/8mm OD. I opted for the smaller one that matches the port size better. I'm running a single turbo so I want to keep the gas velocity as fast and hot as possible, The crossover pipe will be a 63mm(2.5inch) OD from the each manifold and then merging at the turbo.

This is the one manifold for my turbo conversion, 1UZ in S13 SX, I build it using shed 40 mildsteel, stainless just cracks to easy when welded incorrectly. I'l have it coated, but not in the normal silver/alloy color, but the black one as it looks beter on the engine. Sanded manifold...

Some of the Vw's had electric booster pumps. Bosch makes a nice one that can be used for that.

Stange thing, I broke the propshaft today. It's a one piece with a slipjoint, It twisted the tube right in the centre, broke it in 2. Lucky for me it didn't dig into the road because at 140km/h it might have caused some serious damage. Now the thing, I wasn't even racing the car, normal...

Sniper, there's a easy mod to do. The sx has got a diff oil cooler, get the same tipe pump and cooler, pickup of the pump goes to the drainplug and the return goes to the refill hole. Quite easy to do. You can even wire in the temp switch off the sx diff too.

Cost, difficult to say, I'm from South Africa so it might be different, In total I spend around R50000 on it but that includes a turbonetics turbo, wastegate, BOV's and a few other things that still needs to be installed. I'm using a Microtech LT10s.

yep, that's a bit on the dangerous side. I've seen a couple let go and it's never a pretty site.

Help a guy here. This is how the engine bay currently looks. I want to make it look good but I can't decide what to do, what to powdercoat and what not to. The blue hoses just don't look right at the moment. Maybe if I and blue in there it'll look beter, or if I replace the radiatorhoses with...

What brand forged rods are available for the 1UZFE. I know Pauter and Argo have rods. I want direct fit, not something that needs to be modded to fit.

Just want to say that I've finished the car, took a while as I only worked on weekends on it. I must say, this is a AWESOME engine. Now I can't wait to get started on the turbo engine. Will post photos tomorrow of it.

Baie dankie. (Thanks a lot)

Same here, My V8 is in a 180sx, I'm going to turbo it very soon, that's why I want to mod the box before I do it, the plan is to fit a TH400 but that will happen once the "build" motor goes in

Found a companies here that builds controllers, looks impressive. This is a new product but it looks nice, I've used their managements in the past and it works great I use this one, but the one I've got has a lot more functions that the one on the site, they have to update the site with the...
