I finally got time to fit the GTX today, let me say now its bloody huge and only just fits in there. It sat a bit lower than I hoped too, I need to make a 90 degree oil drain to make it work. Everything else, although tight and time consuming, is easy enough to make now. Heres some idea of what I am dealing with...

Thanks Aaron for the help, we set a new record of 1 1/2 hours to remove the stock turbo. :thumbsup:

Mmmm...

So when will it get fired up for the first time?

Plenty more work to do yet. :/

There is 5mm clearance from the gearbox housing and 10mm between the compressor housing and the chassis. Literally the minimum I would allow. Lucky our engine mounts keep it nice and tight so it should be fine.

Na, metal contracts when its heated. She'll be fine :ninja:

lol the first fit the wastegate entry was touching the wall.. i think after i left he re welded the adaptor.

dampers are shit and useless

engine mounts are the ONLY way to do it properly

i think the engine twists in the opposite direction anyway. but backing off might make it bump the sidewall?

i think the engine mounts are near solid anyway.. only better ones i think are the nismo ones which are completely solid..

agree with you on dampers.. havnt seen one thats worked as good as doing mounts.

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
