daz gt turbz Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Cheers for the comments guys. Daz we will have to wait and see mate. I want to get it braced from flange to flange before fitting though and I'll also brace the turbo itself with some DIY brackets!did you get them off ebay, think i saw them a few weeks ago and thought they looked good for the price but then realised they were toyo 1s. might risk it though as my wepr 1 isnt the nicest of things to look at.

Idrees Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 My and my mate dropped the engine in last night. We just need to finish off by giving it a thorough clean and put everything else back together. I bought a TD04 through eBay which turned out to be a piece of crap so hopefully I can visit the seller for a refund today. However I need another one asap! I can get hold of a VF23 but not sure how well it would work at 1 bar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Don't get confused guys, this car isn't being resprayed!The engines now in, there's just a few little things to get sorted before getting her running. I can't fit the turbo kit until I can get a brace welded to the manifold and an actuator bracket welded to the turbo, which will all happen next week. It's only test fitting in the picture below.Yes it really does need cleaning badly I also fitted one of the new ID-Workz fenders. So easy to fit, drill the marked holes out and pop them on. I'm pleased with the job my supplier did with these.As you can see the new wheels are also fitted, as is the suspension. The engine is also now rocking an Exedy Ceramic plate clutch and a Powerflex rear mount.More coming soon.Idrees Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bean Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 did you get them off ebay, think i saw them a few weeks ago and thought they looked good for the price but then realised they were toyo 1s. might risk it though as my wepr 1 isnt the nicest of things to look at.you will be better off sticking with your wepr one mate. the toyo stuff is cheap rubbish. i seen a ct9 one cracked all over the place the other week and the flange on it that bolts to the head was like a bannana!have you had a straight edge on the flanges on it idrees, are they flat?

Steve GT Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 those fenders are so nicemight have to invest in a set soon i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Thanks guys, your nice words are appreciated Steve they would be the cherry on top for yours!Daz it's just the holes where they bolt on, so easy to do. The reason they don't come from factory like that is to keep costs down for you guys. The holes are clearly marked out and it took me 3-4 minutes to drill them, then simply bolted them on like the original wings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Domi Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Looks great Idrees. Hopefully will fit my fenders this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 out of interest iddy how much are the fenders? are they available on your site yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Yeah they are on my website mate Click Here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 awesome thanks iddy there added to my list now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Awesome Here are a few pictures taken a couple of days ago.It sits a little high so I will probably get another set of coilovers in the future to lower it more.Anyway, the new engine is running and sounds sweet and is running well so far. The exhaust is blowing somewhere around the turbo, I used those rubbish gaskets supplied with the manifold and I think that was a mistake. A quick spec list:Replacement 4EFTE (80k miles)Toyosports TD04 kit - The manifold has an added brace and a custom actuator bracket was fabricated to fitRace-tech braided water and oil pipesGenuine Subaru gasketsExedy Organic clutchSamco coolant hosesJapspeed exhaustJapspeed FMICGreen cotton relocated air filter15x7" Sparco Crimson NS2'sID-Workz upper front strut braceTanabe shocks and spingsI have a few bits for this from a new breaker too..Early spec indicatorsUncut front bumper (will help hide the black intercooler)Bonnet hinges as these ones are bent badlyKnock sensorI have a busy couple of days so this won't progress much just yet.

_shaun_ Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 those rubbish gaskets are always a mistake intresting to see if the toyosports mani holds up i dunno i kinda like the black intercooler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 The black intercooler will be hidden away with the bumper, I think it will look good Gutted about the gaskets as I could have had this on the road this weekend Couple of pictures.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
