Hey people...

Just picked up the new ride last night and quickly took a shite picture with the phone before the light had completely gone.

It's no gtr, but at least I'm back into the turbo 4x4 arena!

Maybe it can be the SAUWA S&R vehicle!!!

Will post up some better quality pics after a wash and with some decent light.

Pardon the height... Brad will be attending to that issue shortly.

hey that looks good i used to work for ford and drove a few Territory turbos and they hammer pretty hard

Yeah I have already spoken to a performance shop in Midland that have a name for building hypo FPV's and Typhoons, etc... they say with $3.5-4k this thing will do 12sec 1/4's!!!

Don't tell the wife that though!!! :thumbsup:

u dont want to make it noisey though? poor donna would get a headache from the exhaust drone when going to get milk n bread from the shops.

I't wont be that noisey!!! There is always the stereo to drown out the drone... trust me there won't be outlandish mods happening to this thing.

    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 馃ゴ
    • Most of the R33 GTST S1 are all like "airbag? What airbag?!"
