And a full season ticket for the rollcoaster

All Aboard.............

 

Well after loads of ummming an arrring ive gone for a Garrett GT3076R. This means it will have to be rotated. Not happy with paying crazy prices for an up/downpipe. Let alone that nobody has one in stock at the moment. Im going to fabricate a new twisted up/downpipe to suit. This will also have to include an external wastegate too.

Should be fun but i couldnt resist the temptation any longer

 

Well done Frayz this is going to be a sight to see

 

Might even be a tart and polish the compressor housing.... lol.

Im getting ahead of myself here. Lets just get it fitted first eh

 

 

glad you have your heart back into th build frayz
all the best

jim

 

Frayz - how about fiting the turbo to your jetski instead?

Nah Moley, need instant crisp response for freestyle that i get from my fully worked 785cc flatop motor. Turbos/chargers are for the fatboys with sit-ons

 

Not much to show today except ive rebuilt my alternator inc some glass bead blasting, also cleaned the PAS pump and glas blasted the aux brackets.



All came up like new... which was nice

 

Spot on....

Just need to get all the nuts/bolts re-plated now.

 

Inspired by yourself directly for this one Neil.

I agree about the hardware

 

Apparantly... i do say apparantly.

My KW's have arrived at Mocom.

Only 14 months after i paid for em lol

 

You should have paid for the "next day service"

 

"go away" is the politest i can be

 

Cheers Mate

I like the finish the bead blasting gives you Frayz, a good even matt effect which will be easier to maintain hopefully.

What's the options with the nuts & bolts... will you be able to go st/st or clean and anodise or maybe coat what you have there... simply new subaru one's will go scabby quite soon like the originals possibly ?

 

Gonna try and get mostly new, possibly SS but i can worry about that anytime.

If not then i get them all re zinc coated. Did a sweet mod on the header tank today i think you'll like, i'll post pics later

 

Todays updates...

Stripped and cleaned the throttlebody and smoothed out a few imperfections. Didnt go mad, just jolly'd it up a bit

Also gave the header tank the glass bead treatment ready to be powdercoated. The turbo water feed will be converted to an -AN fitting before this is done.

Also wonder if anybody can spot the modification to the newage tank?

Okay, ive cut and smoothed the lower leg that usually bolts to the power steering line. The tank will not be in the stock location and the PAS lines will be different anyway so i thought id give the header tank a smoother cleaner look.

I think they came up quite nice

 

Just in from the garage, done a little bit more.

Also spoken to the guys at P&L in the US who say my turbo will be with them on friday ready to be shipped out to me next week.

Im delaying taking the heads off of my block as i need these in place to fabricate my up/downpipes. I cant do that until my turbo is here.

I want to get this all done and ready so that when the 257 motor is built it can all bolt up hopefully with a little fuss as possible.

It sounds funny but the actual build of the new motor will probably be the quickest and easiest part of the whole process lol

 

Got one of these little fellas on the way now too.

Tial 44mm V-band external wastegate

 

Looks good so far. I am liking the finish of the parts, looks ace.

Btw, I thought you already had a TiAL bov thingy

 

I do have a 50mm Tial BOV... this is a Tial external wastegate

 

Oh right...I need to read that thread about wastegates again

 

Looking really god fratz, i gotta get me a bead blaster!

 

Todays work...

Glass blasted the, thermostat outlet, water bridge and block pipes. These were then resprayed gloss black the same as they left the factory.

Also hot washed/degreased the oil filler and cambelt covers.

All came up rather spiffing too

 

Commited work ...

(Did you see my PM from 2 days ago ?)

 

i must say frayz, you are doing such a great job on this car, the work is always to the best of your ability, and i really have enjoyed reading this thread, keep it up mate, and hope it all turns out just how you want it. Good luck

 

Cheers fella, i hope it turns out good too

 

Looking very good frayz, it will be all show and go

 

Lol, funny you say that. The first and last jap show i attended was JAE 2006.

Thought it was a load of toss, nothing like ford fair etc so never went to another lol

 

Just Read this from the start! And hats off to you!

Love it, the Best Bugeye ive seen!
