Fantastic work!

I'm still a little bummed I didn't make my return trip home from the Nationals via Sydney, so I could stop by and have a look... though it did shave a few hundred km off the drive.

How far away is the engine build? Have you decided on all the details for it yet?

Meh....the reality is that the car must have fallen short of expectations Really not sure how a full tune can drag out for 2 years... so claims that the build was f1 spec, just musn't show on the dyn

Thanks Ian.

It s ok maybe nextime you are in sydney John would be more then happy to show you the fab work and what his aiming to build.

The build has been slow, just getting the head ready for assembly as the bottom end is completed. ( Still trying to get pics for this )

All the other aspects of the car are ready and up to date, just need to drop the motor im and start finishing this build.

It's almost like the next pics you post couldn't possibly be better than what you've already posted...

But No.... They just get more awesome!

Have you weighted the manifold/turbo/gate assembly? Noted John thought it wouldn't need any brace/supporting. Just wondering what the actual weight is :)

The weight of the manifold with just the wastegates bolted on is about 7kg.

Spoke to John about the brace, he will be adding a brace or bracing system to the manifold however at this point of time he has not stated where. Once he does i will update you.

Cool thanks :) is it for clearance reasons. My 1jz manifold does the opposite (faces the comp cover away)

The turbo was rotated towards the rocker cover to achieve the best exit of the turbo that was not a 90 degree bend like everyone else has, john has said 90 degree bend can cause upto 15% loss in efficiency of the turbo.

Low mount manifold? Or does the comp cover face in towards the rocker cover?

This pic will answer your question

The red lines drawn on the inlet are approximate anti-surge slot locations to be milled out?

Sweet :)

I remember earlier in the thread it was stated it wasn't needed, perhaps that was only in early stages. 7kg + turbo would be quite a hefty end result.

Be interesting to see where it's braced and what not - look forward to that update :thumbsup:

fyp

heat + stainless steel = bending.

good welds will not stop it.

keep us updated. :)

The red lines are for the installation of a plunger infront of the turbo.

John does not like anti surge slots as this also reduces the efficiency of the turbo.

      Thanks for advice chaps   so you would change idler and tensioner bolt as well ? I guess because you thinking they have stretched once ?   i have done some research and on nissan belt and seem to hold 700hp but thinking HKS to be on safe side   i think I put nissan there last time   also thinking of changing cam cover to glass style:)

      Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.

      1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.
