and here is a shot of how I wrap the crank pulley and hold it for torquing the crank bolt.

Sweet.
I need to stop by for ribs and a look-see.
Pretty sure Rick will be cooking up some ribs soon in a slick, new smoker!
Looks great Rick, will try to swing by and check it out next week.
WOW, it's in! Great to see the project moving to forward.
The heat shield is beautiful. I salute you.
Ohh man, so close, sooo close! We can't wait.

Hate that mud...
Hey, major milestone! Congrats. Any fitment issues? Hard to tell in your pics, but that A/C looks like it could cause problems.

right now the ac line looks like the only thing that needs to be addressed.
I wanted the turbo to be as close to the motor mount as I could get it but still clearance everything.
I'm going to work on the down pipe next.

here are a couple of shots so you guys might see some of the clearances that I have to work with.
The first is the intake taken from the side at about the frame height.
The second is taken through the fender well just behind the tire.

Wicked. Plans to have this dyno'ed?
Rick, did you fit a restrictor to the oil inlet?
As I'm sure you already know, the 1FZFE runs much higher oil pressure than what the turbo bearings ideally need. While it's up to 72psi with a warm engine, I've seen the oil pressure up go over 90psi when cold and that's here in OZ where out winters are nothing compared to what you guys in the US expereince.
After much research of my own and speaking to a few guys in turbo business, I fitted a 1mm restrictor. I've yet to test the oil flow but the advice I've been given is with the 1mm restrictor is, if it does need more flow I can drill it out in small increments to fine tune it to the desired flow requirements.
Regardless, it's good to see your project coming along. I bet it felt like a huge relief to finally get the engine bolted back between the chassis rails. All down hill from now on - and not before time HAHA!!!

guzzla, I did install a restrictor, it was the one recommended by the turbo sites for this turbo.
From what I've read, the engine weight that is recommended for us in the USA is lighter than in OZ. Here we use 5W30 and have read you guys use 15W50, is that true?
The next hurdle is the exhaust and the intercooler and intake will be easy.

probably not. I really don't see the need for it.
Initially I'll be running at 7psi and after some time will move it up to 10psi. As long as I'm close on fueling 10psi should be around 385 HP at the crank and I'm sure I'll feel a difference.
Yeah, we typically use anything between 15w40 to 20w50. I'm personally using a SS 15w50.
On the subject of dyno tuning, will you be doing any kind of checking to make sure the fueling is correct - especially at WOT? or is there no need to as long as boost doesn't exceed 10psi?
And, yes, even at 5-7psi the difference is said to put a huge smile of your dial.

I'll be using an innovate wide band sensor to monitor AFRs. If you decide to also use a wide band I would suggest you research your selection.
In the past people have found these engines to run as rich as 8.6 afr at WOT. Some wide band sensors won't read below 10.0. So they are kind of blind in the area that we might run in.
But that also might be a USA thing as we might have got a different ECU than other markets.

I saw wife one as rich as 10.8 ....
where did you install the restrictor?

Actually that's not so bad from what I've read. It's a good safe AFR with some room to play with.
