Excellent news. White is by far the best color.

I wonder what makes you say that?

agree, white is the best!!!, if dosnt fade into an shade of the original colour, not as much prep work is needed, its not going to show "imperfections" as much as a metallic, plus it makes the car look physically bigger.... oh and its easier to keep clean and any other colour goes with white

got a bit of work done during the week so far..


my newly painted air tank

did a little bit of modding for in the cab...

thats the boost the EGT will be going into the other vent

and now the snail

 

[Tapage]

which turbo is .. you just fliped the manifold . ?

 

[pyrotech]

the turbo is an Air research (almost identical to garret T3/T4)

the manifold is a custom one.. here are a few pix

 

[pyrotech]

i pulled all the exhaust manifold off today, pulled all the factory studs out and replaced them and there was not enough thread on the old ones.. what a PITA job that is

 

[maat]

love it! who did you buy the turbo off? and how much was it? im thinking of doing the flipped manifold and was going to run a t4 but the cost of a new one is a major delayer

 

[pyrotech]

I picked up the complete set up from a guy in QLD it was advertised on Outers, cost me just over a grand.
The turbo had just been rebuilt, the only thing i needed to get for it was a new oil feed kit, replace the manifold studs, get some nuts to bolt the turbo to the manifold, other then that its complete all hose and pipes etc

 

[maat]

wow what a score just over a grand!! i guess id better look around for second hand kits first.. are you dyno'ing it before and after to see the results?

 

[Clint79]

nice work mate

 

[pyrotech]

i was going to dyno it, but then couldnt be bothered spending the cash, that and the old exhaust is already gone to the scrapyard.
i will be getting it dynoed once its fnished.
the motor was rebuilt not long before i bought it, so i will just go off the factory figures. close enough is good enough in this case... its not as tho i am building a 1/4 mile car



and thanks clint
