Nanglebadger Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 hahahaha, Jay mate, I cant thank u enough for an awesome day!!!! we were smilin and talkin turbo the whole way home!we had to chance to inspect turboed engines and to learn a lot today, and we have come away from it with a much better understanding of exactly what all is involved.So, with that being said, the decision has been made, im gonna go for a full front cut (my apologies to Si and Rick for messin u about, but this way i will have EVERYTHING i need at once, it'll be a straight swap over, no messin about, and also si's engine might not be available for quite sometime due to some unfortunate circumstances, so with a front cut i can get goin sooner rather than later).Either I will contact Trevor in Ballymena to find me a GOOD front cut from which i can flog all the unwanted parts (bumpers, bonnets etc etc etc), or more likey and more appealing to me, is that Jay will be watching for a breaker with a suitable engine, and we will use that, nice and simple. the conversion will be done in his driveway, and for the beginning we will be aiming for standard power, so about 120-130 bhp, thats more than enough for me to get used to before uping the power.Jay let me drive the auto GT today on the open road (nearly standard power so about 130bhp)...and oh good LORD!!!!!!!!!! its just.....immense!!!!!! its a freakin ROCKET SHIP!!! toyota were MAD to let people drive these straight out of the factory!! MAD!!!!!! that was my first time behind the wheel of an EP turbo on the road, and im still smiling from it, this is gonna be SO much fun in my car!! i cant wait!like Jay and Mark have both said, a turbo will do my car more justice, it has come a brave way and this is the next logical step. yes theres other parts to do too, but one thing at a time!!!!i wouldnt expect much in the way of progess other than preppin for the next few months, like mischellaneous parts required, like TRD engine mounts, but the wheels are in motion, Jay has the most work to do now tbh.Also, crystal lights arrived today woohooooooooo so will fit those at the start of next week!!!sleeper-squad here we come!also, I cant do BOTH the turbo AND JAE, it has to be one or the other this year, however, after the relative disappointment of last yr, this will give a year to let things settle down and for JAE to get established in the new venue, and we will hopefully be back bigger and better next year! again tho, nothing is confirmed there, so dont freak out with me for a few months yet!Phil.
