You've had a two month extension We need someone to race Ross

Iv'e only just set up a run-in tune to 250hp. On my 3VZFE turbo. I'm using a TD05-20G as I am looking for the same thing massive low down torque. And not so worried about the big HP number. I can tell you that this set up, turbo starts boosting at 2000rpm and is full boost at 3000rpm. Even with set up only at 250hp the torque is 300ft/lbs at 3000rpm. cant wait to see what its like when I turn it up. Will probably end up being around 350 - 400HP for a consistent track day car

At this stage should you start calling it a 3VZFTE??

Hey team I have been just busy with life and other things getting the fab work started so will post up some images next week. Pulled out the fuel tank to put in a bigger pump bit it already had a DW300 installed so put it back in lol.

Two weeks ago I took her out of the container and work started.

Hurry up, I want to see these pictures now

Will get some fab work photos next week it's been taking far too long lol.

Ok here is a small update.

30L tank for the water to air intercooler.
Attaching the heat exchanger to the intercooler.
Fab work of the exhaust manifolds
How the turbo will be placed (different to others).
Water meth setup.
Painted the new not sand filled covers.
CRW CVs installed on shafts.

Bring on 400+ wkw!!!!!!

Purchased my Turbosmart fuel regulator, 50mm wastegate, and blow-off valve.

Is your turbo going to be facing that way? Would it be easier to plumb if turned 180?

As the intercooler is located in the boot I'm most likely going to run the piping down but it's a work in progress. Just going to put a filter directly off the turbo as well, lots of heat shielding is getting done.

Heat exchanger finished and installed.

Good size A2W core up front. Will have no problems keeping that beast cold especially with the WI added into the mix.

I'm hoping so, also with a 30 litre tank of coolant it should keep the charged air cool.

Limiting factors for mysetup is the injectors (650cc at 60psi) and then the intercooler then the GT3540.

I think you should have just enough for your power goal
