Not too much of an update, Got the gearbox cleaned up and painted, took alomost 2 hours with a dremel and wire wheels and then brake clener to get all the shite off the surfaces, then gave it a coat of paint ready for it to go in the car in the next 2 weeks

Im a bit ocd when it comes to getting everything clean haha want it to be as show quality as i can get it more update coming shorly engine will be going in the car with in 2 weeks!

I work in a car dealership so its not that bad glad you like the build cheers mate!

check my build thread out here good read

Awesome update! Friday night after work i popped down to my mate AJ's unit, He does powder coating in his spare time and agreed to do some bits for me, I purchased the colour i wanted and let him keep the rest of the powder i did not use as a thank you. So bits that got powder coated was Garret GTX2860R compressor housing, alternator bracket, fuel rail and oil filter housing. Photos dont do the colour justice colour looks far better in person. Work was quiet on saturday so i got the work i needed to get done and started lapping all my valves in at my desk, after that my brother

Cool thread dude! looking forward to see whats next, let the build thread be resurected!

Around 5-6k maybe? cracking car like

UPDATE: Hello everyone, been a super productive week this week and lots of bit coming back from body shop and machine shop ect, let me show you what been going on So first of all for the past 2 weeks Ive had my gear box at a garage near me getting my quaife ATB LSD put in with new diff bearings, Long story short its been a bit of a nightmare... the shim that holds the lsd in place inside the box was too small for the new diff so the diff would move around in the housing, So i called toyota directly and ordered 2 different types of shims neither of them fit luckily they were only £7 ea

looks fucking sick!

Looking good this mate! great fabrication work, cant wait to see more updates!

Sweet build mate! cant wait to see more on this

Just got my cylinder head back from the vapor blasters looks like a brand new head, time to get it skimmed then engine together this weekend. More photos to come shortly!

I hope your forging or swapping to a 4efte as you wont reach 0.6 bar of boost before your rods will be on the road

Update: Been a preety good week for the car let me share it with you After work on tuesday came home to a package from mike at TD as always spot on service and sorted me out fast. Nice quaife diff and new toyota diff bearings Then today on payday which was a great bonus had a call from engine builder saying block was ready to collect so i nipped out on my lunch break and picked it up Next plans are to put the engine on the stand at the weekend, start putting oil pump, water pump on ect and will paint the block and sump to make it look all nice and

Im trying to get to as close to 400bhp (at the flywheel) as possible should not be difficult with the turbo choice. I currently have the 4efte inlet manifold it should be fine for around 400 but I have been tempted to get a race plenum but im waiting one to pop up on the page. Thanks looking forward to early quarter next year to come to you for mapping

Update: Even though i have been in birmingham all weekend having a nice night away with the other half, its not stopped me and stuff has been happening. So this weekend i have managed to paint a few bits, and also splashed out £900 on a quaife ATB diff and new diff bearings, will get the gearbox sent off to a local builders to sort that getting put in and a check over of the gears and syncros. here are a few pics of what i have done Enjoy!

yeah man cant complain at all for £50, Im going to weld my fittings on to support the coils as want rocker cover open to see mirror finish nice to see you have updated your thread again too!

Came home today after work another parcel waiting for me racetech highflow fuel rail bargain again for £50. Will get this cleaned up and put in the powder coat pile ready for when one of my good mates coats a load of the engine parts. Need to purchase a load of AN6 fittings and braided line and get the FPR seated perfectly in the bay all tidy.

Picked up a set of K20 coils for £49 posted off ebay great deal for when I do the K20 conversion.

Im keeping it polished and going for a mirror finish needs more work. should look very good when done.

Im having liam porting my head in a few weeks as well haha cant wait, let me know how you get on! nice build

cheers mate appreciate it

Update: Managed to spend quite a few hours on the rocker cover over the weekend, started on 80 grit and worked my way up to 3000 grit, It not how i want it finished yet i would like a mirror finish on it but i cant seem to get it there with polish at the moment, I may need to get it done professonally to finish it off, here are a few photos non the less

Not too much of an update did a little work on my rocker cover this weekend, sanding all the surfaces down flat then going to mirror polish it. Engine has also been dropped off at engine builders to build the bottom end ect should have it back in a week or two then just waiting on my slot with LC porting for the head to be ported.
