Unsure if serious bro?

No updates as yet. Been sick and caught up with photography duties so I haven't had time.
Went out to get the engine stand the other day. Got into an agruement with my old man about towing my panelvan (long story short I'll flat tow it to the immac rear bar) now it looks like A f*#cking BANANA...

Went home. Got plenty of time this weekend and the rotor meet ups at night so 1600 will come out this weekend.
If anyone wants it it's theirs. Has a non standard cam in it and the head looks alright.
Actually I've started drinking again so bring Canadian club and it's yours.
Will begin 4z strip down as well. I haven't looked at it in 2 years so things should be interesting.

Someone used to have the sig
"Beer is an acceptable form of payment"

Depending on how things go I might have some shiney new insides for this shitheap motor soon :)

Excellent, Jonno building a 4Z! This can only end in swearing and hilarity :D

But seriously, hope this one goes better than the last one. For what it's worth I've done a fairly serious build on my E1, I opted for standard engine mounts and might just need to trim the firewall extrusion a tiny bit for dizzy clearance. Do you know which turbo you'll be running? I'm aiming for 230rwkw with mad response, so I'm tossing up between these three:

GT3071R 0.64 rear
TD05H-20G 8cm rear
TD06-20G 8cm rear

What was Andy running in his, anyone?

Fixed :wink: The last one went well for what it's worth I think I mentioned that somewhere before.

Yeah I did the same in the red car. Worked so I'll do it in this to.

Yeah man I'm only using a baby turbo for this. Just a T3 VLT turbo. I got a few huffers here but I'll use this one for this purpose.
Should crack along well and little boost. It's off Amys old 2L setup and that kicked in well. I'm not looking for an animal in this I have the white Gem for that lol.
Just gotta kick along and have boost when I need it. Also the track I want to run this at has one 300m uphill straight so for a big turbo It'd be coming on song almost at the top of the hill and coming into almost a hair pin. f*#k that.

Run this^

Andys was a GT30/40 with I think .64 rear.

I honestly don't know hey. I couldn't calculate it cause i'd be off.

Maybe take a guess I dunno.
I can't find the f*#cking thing either. I spent the best part of 2 hours going through heaps of nationals s*#t and can't find it...

Also no further updates due to shitcunterynats and me being away from my lab for a few days...

Sorry bredrin. I'll come home early Sunday and smash some progress into it.
