I've heard a lot of bad reviews about these nuts. Whatever you do do not overtighten them or they've got a habit of shearing the thread which as I'm sure you can imagine isn't a good thing

Well that doesen't sound too good
Now I don't have the balls to install it. Thanks for the warning.
Last week I received more parts to my project. After some mistake of the USPS who directed the package to Ireland instead of Czech republic I received the package with ARP bolts. A few days after this I received the forged Spool conrods from Australia (see pictures below). Now I'm waiting for the ARP flywheel bolts and trying to find good clutch suitable for 250 hp's, though the aimed power wold be a bit lower. As the crankshaft is quit old (ca 115 ths miles) a new one from Toyota had to be ordered. Gaskets would be also from Toyota and I hope, that soon I'll have all the parts necessary to close the engine






Here are some parts prepared for the project:

The crank, flywheel and the pulley were balanced and flywheel skimmed

Looks like I have forgotten to update this topic for some time, but the project still goes on. The engine was already completed and installed in car, as you can see on the pictures below. Still a lot of things have to be done on the project, like the air intake, exhaust, bushings on the suspension (one may say it has nothing to do with turbocharging, but... I decided it will be a good idea to change them)
Creating basic maps, engine break in, dyno etc.




The gauges are for oil temp c°, oil pressure and egt

Wait! Something is missing here

I know what this is - it is a result of heavy breaking, so the engine jumped out of the engine bay.
