now things are starting to get interesting. started doing some shopping, picked up this holset hx35 with a 16 cm housing for an awesome price before i left for washington. this is exactly the one i wanted! hx35 with a 7 blade compressor wheel plus he threw in a spare compressor wheel too! time to take this thing apart, clean her up nice, polish the housing and ceramic coat the exhaust housing!! im not going to run the 16 cm housing however, i wont see the spool i want. so ive been trying really really hard to locate a 12 cm divided holset housing! i think i finally found one but we'll see. otherwise i will be purchasing a custom made .70 ar undived housing from bulls eye performance.

 

now parts are starting to flow in. did some shopping on driftmotion. with the combination of shopping there and buying some things off locals this is what i got so far:
-50 mm hks knockoff wastegate
-sc300 3 inch downpipe
-4 inch inlet pipe (will be running a velocity stack though)
-550 mk4 injectors (will be buying injector o-ring kit too, so please, dont tell me it would be a good idea to replace those o-rings. i already knw that.)
-1jz divided single turbo manifold. this one is t4, i will be making an adaptor plate for it to mount my t3 turbo. this manifold will also be braced and then brought to a machine shop to have the flange fly cutted flat again since the welding will warp it. good thing i work in a machine shop get this deed done fo free also will be ceramic coating this manifold to keep heat down

 

now the next thing to do is start ordering all my lines and fittings and fueling stuff. unfortuantly, i will not be able to buy those things yet since my next paycheck is all going to rent :/ hard times but its called growing up. however the next paycheck i will try and put that towards my fueling needs this is getting fun stay tuned!

 

Coming along quite nicely...

 

Gracias. so stoked to see what happens!

 

nice cant wait to see the finished product.

 

will be posting plenty of pics along the way :d

 

the car look great. it would make an awesome sleeper

 

the sleeper idea was being considered at one point, but i pretty much threw that idea out the window once i decided to get my exhaust. then i got that bumper, turbo, and u knw the rest

 

so i got my lc-1 wideband in the mail today. thank you ebay, you saved me a lot of money

 

today was a good day this also came in

 

spent some time at my friends shop tonight. got the compressor housing sand blasted and then painted

 

got the manifold braced over the weekend. time to send it out for some ceramic coating!

 

The holset came out very nice

 

Keep up the good work looking forward to the finished product, good luck.
