supra matt Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Rod did you not say the twins were laggy that thing will take a week to spool . Looks good tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Cheers for the comments guys. I said the big twins were laggy but this setup was mainly due to me using a stock autobox and having stock cams and fuelling so never helped. Yes, this is a big turbo but the lag will suit me perfectly with my driving style and will pack a huge punch when opened up lol. With the correct fuel setup, exhaust and the head work this setup will hit good numbers and I also have a nice six speed conversion in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Very nice mate will be a hell of a weaponed mounted to the 6 speed, how long before we get some body in colour shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Very nice mate will be a hell of a weaponed mounted to the 6 speed, how long before we get some body in colour shots? Be a while yet Matt. Just want to get this engine built up to a nice standard. Be a absolute monster when all hell lets loose. If i was into street racing and drove daily I would have gone smaller modern turbo... But as a toy this will be a right thrill lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Are you going to have to modify the strut tower with that size snail mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Few snaps. all the exhaust manifold and turbo housing heat coated black. I took the cam covers with me to SRD, Lee and Ash kindly fitted all the baffles back in them and re-sealed. Got a chrome back plate on and my new Titan cam gears. SRD custom made me a new oil line, looks so smart and keep it all neat and tidy Turbo has been mirror polished now and ready to be sent away fro some fancy weight saving treatment.

jcbt Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 That's a bloody well prepped engine build and will look stupendous when married to the car- good work as always Rob. The silver one behind your turbo manifold shot ain't bad either;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parm_93 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 That's crazy, I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Finally got 5 mins free to update the build thread. i decided i wanted to keep things subtle and i painted the waterpump in HT satin black, cae out really nice and fresh. I removed all the stock bolts and custom made my own which i then 24k gold plated. I have had a couple of little issues but nothing that cant be sorted easy enough. At the moment im just mocking things up and making sure i have no issues with clearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Is it the angle of the dangle, or is that bottom hose tail close to the manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Is it the angle of the dangle, or is that bottom hose tail close to the manifold? It's close, I'm going to have some heat sleeve on the lower hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Try the N/A bottom hose tail, I seem to remember that it is slightly different and may give you the clearance required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Try the N/A bottom hose tail, I seem to remember that it is slightly different and may give you the clearance required? that is a NA lower neck. Had to drill the holes out to marry up to the pump studs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Rubber next to a red hot pipe won't go far, you may need to cut and shut one to give clearance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
