17-10-11, 11:42 GMT+10#25 Yeah unfortunatley i dont think i'll be using that one in this build, i'll either sell it if someone is interested in it or keep it for a very special build i have planned for 2017
Its a Garrett GT4202 if you know anyone who is interested in buying it, 1.05 rear housing.

16-02-12, 23:14 GMT+10#28 update Update UPDATE!
Aquired some items of interest, including a built engine with all the goodies on the inside, and some manifolds
6boost manifold and rajab plenums, turbo is just there for looks (will be using a billet item for the actual build)
Also got a Jim berry FM off Josh (exhwy) with almost no wear! (he's goin to a big auto)
Also have to sort out the oil pump as the one which came on the engine wont be adequate for my needs, im thinking moroso wet sump external, so the previous oil pump is up for sale (brand new, just test fitted, RB25 or RB26 pump as far as i know, fits on a standard VL crank with adequate tolerances (i.e. probably the same as RB30 pumps)
Thingz to buy before i start getting busy
-ID2000's and rail (off Sticks in the advertisement section)
-Fuel cell (probably an ebay jobbie)
-Braid and fittings
-Fuel pump (if grunt still has his fuelab one, i'll grab that)
Also gonna paint my PWR cooler mx grey, to match the bumper, then spray the PWR logo back over the top in red

23-02-12, 22:34 GMT+10#34 meanwhile the important things are being attended to, rocker cover sucessfully polished
Never want to do that again, protip, if you want to do it to yours, get it sandblasted. I got the sh1ts with how greasy mine was
Now, the question is, to polish the plenum or not? (screw doing the runners, they look nice in VHT aluminium)
