I ain't swapping a B16A - I already consider it a good engine. So yeah, turbo is lookin like a good path for me. Maybe it's time to get rid of my "N/A is best" sticker and grab a "Boost is better" one! :D

good to hear its finally come together for ya bro!
-
wow thats looking good,
man if only i had the money *sighs*
-
DAts AWSOM! great work mate.. looks sweet and will chomp!.. nuthin beats vtec turbo!!
-
nice. i think because its a sedan, it looks like even more of a sleeper!
u have any probs importing from the USA? im just curious as i plan on importing a heap of parts in the near future from there but am inexperienced with it
-
sic manifold bro i want one!! hahaha puny radiator though man should get a thicker one
-
that width used for the manifold is massive i shouldn't see a problem with it but expecting 200kw who knows ay? Good job Weq, definately interested about ur contacts and prices.
-
Snoop, PM me if u need anything.
Paul, no problems at all. usps.com is the cheapest shipping around (just dont get surface mail, it sucks!). if ur stuff gets stopped as customs, just grab a 'invoice' from whoever sent it to u and u'll be set. tlel them also to keep the declared value as low as possible also..
As far as proress is concerned, the turner has been booked and its going to be started next saturday. I spend th day today fitting everything up and its all come together quite well. All thats left to do is to do one manifold bolt up (tricky) and do up the oil feed on the turbo (tricky). and then she is set!
-
Thanks for that info Weq, appreciated :thumbsup:
You must be absolutely dying to take her out for a drive. IMO the wait is well worth it, it makes u appreciate your car so much more lol

update;
after this weekend, my fuse is wearing thin, and i realllly want this car running!
basically i did everything saturday, was all sweet, then when it came to attach the last thing (oil feed) there was no way it was happening. So 4hrs later and removing the entire setup again, everything was finally over and she is ready to be started up next weekend!!
some random pictures of the day..
