yeah I use a ST215 GTT Caldina one as I too hated the length of the standard throttle cable!!!

What are after market part prices like in aus and nz mate? I'm thinking of moving over there after my career in the military is up as this country just seems to get ****ter and wouldn't mind something to work on if i go there.

Havn't really brought parts from Aus but I know some prices in NZ are ok I order most of mine from japan itself

Right been a bit busy on my bike but because of the harrier getting binned i'm probably going to be moving bases in the next few months to start work on a new aircraft whatever that may be. ****ing useless government can't wait to get out of this country but it made me realise i need to get my bike and car totally finished.

Anyway had a bit of trouble with the relocation pipe, bit of chopping and rewelding, if the manifold to turbo adapter had the wastegate flange coming out the front it would be so much easier :S anyway i've made something way over engineered ha and i've had to route the screamer over the rad hose and down the other side of the engine.

This is just some videos of her, she's running without the downpipe on so its coming straight out the turbo so sounds like a bit of a tractor. My car now revs so easily now its such a difference from stock

just bought this sexual bit of kit

Getting my braided hose for my oil return line this week hopefully.

fantastic.

like always

Right been fixing my mates golf cause he crashed it but managed to get some free time to connect the power source to all the gauges, surprised myself as they all worked first time. Sensors need to be wired up but shouldn't be too much of a problem, Just left all the wires hanging for now, will smarten it all up after christmas. Downpipe is coming along ok, i was tweaking it the other day as i could have welded it up but it was making the exhaust front pipe get too close to things so just adjusting the angle on a piece of the pipe and should be good, been going well.

Would have done LOADS these last few days as i havent been going to work since theres bugger all to do but ive been fixing my mates golf that he crashed but i sent him to peterborough on his own this time so i could do my gauges.

I will be putting these rims on my car in 18x8:

I am currently trying to sell my bbs le mans 17" wheels and if you know anything about rims you'll know these cost **** loads to buy new. COuple of years ago i saw many places selling them for £4k, £2.5k these days though. Had loads of watchers on ebay but didn't get to the price i was happy with

This is a pretty mad build man!! Yeah, come on over to NZ for a bit, always good to have another toyota lover/genius here, lol, would you ship over the celi or sell it and do another project??

Oil return pipe, managed to get a male -10 turbo fitting on where the oil drains back in the pan, had to slightly file the holes to get on.

I'm sorry guys i just couldn't stop doing it ha

Right so hooked everything up tonight bar the exhaust. I didn't hook the oil temp up yet but the water temp, oil press and boost were hooked up, only the water temp worked might just shot these gauges as i'm sure i've connected it all right.

THought i had ****** up the bee*r up aswell as there was no red light or owt on start up so i thought **** great, then gave it some revs and it sprung to life. Seriously those videos don't do it justice the bangs were loud as ubik.

Anyway post multiple runs i checked for any leaks, one of the braided hoses on the return line is very slightly leaking, hardly anything is coming out but going to take it back and get it replaced its leaking where the braided line gets crimp to the fitting if you know what i mean.

Put the down pipe on but didn't bolt it up as i wanted to see what was happening staight out the turbo, curiousity. Just used it to channel the bangs ha

Right got some pictures of my oil return and some vids of the exhaust connected up.

This is the turbo oil return going into the block, used a turbo oil fitting flange, had to file the holes a bit to make it fit onto the studs.


Just a picture from under the turbo, you can see the turbo oil feed with the T piece adapter where the oil pressure sensor goes.


Now the exhaust fully connected only revving to 4k still

MOT day fast approaching

What are you asking for the BBS wheels? Have any better pics? Specs on them?

Sorry wheels already been sold.

Well, to put it simply, she's cooking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got the wheels bolted on and away i went, the exhaust esp when the screamer opens is extremely loud, been driving round base, already put anohter 30 miles on her ha. Seriously its so loud haha i love it can't stop grinning
Temps are in the 70's when moving, oil is just below 80 when up to temps, all is looking good on the temperature side of things.








Sorry the car is filthy

is one of your pistons backwards?

What do you mean?

It actually appears that three of the pistons are installed backwards....if you notice the picture when the cp pistons are still in you'll see that the large reliefs cut in the pistons are on the intake side. Cylinder #3 is installed correctly, but 1,2,and 4 are facing the wrong way. I'm no expert, but I just pulled my motor apart, and if i'm not mistaken this is an interference motor.....I hope you haven't bent any valves

You can see the reliefs here in this picture

its not an interference motor, but yea good catch! looks like the 3 of them are backwards.

i've like done 4 build threads and no one has spotted this! Will get these turned round next oil change! Cheers for that

I hope it isn't too much trouble for you to get those turned around. Would hate if the motor had to be removed in order to do it.

I can do it all in situ and it gives me an excuse to check everything, plus i'm going to change my apexi head gasket 1.1mm to the apexi 1.5mm. It will be a big job basically taking all the engine apart but i can get it done in a day or a weekend and i had already ordered oil and coolant as i had one or two tweeks to make. Either way mate it needs to be done and you have done me a favour, i'd get you some beer if you lived here its my first build anyway so it helps a lot in what to look out for if i do it again, needless to say i wont be missing that again

Post lots of pics!

I will mate.

I'd recommend using the ATS racing gasket. It's a 1.2mm. They swear by it, and judging by your build it would suit you.

Great Build thread! I didn't even know you could put pistons in backwards! Crazy!

Had it back together for a while now, sorry i didnt take any pics but i was trying to be as quick as possible and the sump was a bit of a pain
