Again not updating my build thread for months.
As I am sure many of you can relate money has been bloody tight due to covid19 but hey gotta make progress one way on another and im sure business will pick up back to normal
\
So the 3 month update... what have i done.
Manged to pick up an exhuast manifold from the states, was off a 1000hp 9 second RSX fully back purchased stainless equal length item. Very nice piece with a good Wastegate exit angle ( vert critical for sidewinder set ups.) also picked up a 45mm v band turbosmart wastegate for it ( still on its way from USA)

Next up was having to get a t3 to t4 adapter as the turbo is a t4 turbo and also i wanted to push the turbo out 2" to clear the water neck of the k series this is how she looks all mounted up

Manged to pick up Delta V's brake kit for the fronts this allows you to run a supra tt front rotor using 93+ turbo brakes. Just need to buy rotors and pads and this brake set up is done! Using rebuilt 93 turbo calipers and braided lines. Going have to trim that dust shield a bit ( aka a lot) to make this fit.

Got some fuel lines made up, as i dont trust myself making AN lines in such a pain in the arse location so left it to the experts, Using Aeroquip hose with full on crimped fittings, the guys who made this promised me they're tested to 3000psi, so they should handle some fuel.

Finally dropped off my wheels to the vapor blaster and then to the painter ( who is taking literally forever to paint these things... 9 weeks and counting...)
