This is going to be a good build

 

Back with a few updates. Started doing gaskets and seals as well as taking the stock twins off. Why is he taking the stock twins off now? Well I've decided to go big single while the engine is already out being that it's easier to work on so why not? Pretty much have everything as far as manifold...turbo...oil lines...and waste gate. Also changing the front sump oil pan to rear sump of course. Will be put back together tomorrow with new valve cover seals and rear sump. Had to buy Toyota Black sealant.

 

Pics of the Treadstone cast iron turbo manifold

 

Rear sump conversion is complete

 

My Precision 46mm waste gate & CX Racing GT35R with anti-surge and upgraded billet wheels came in. I'll be running the CX for a short period til I upgrade butit should spool very fast with the .68 rear housing

 

Replaced the valve cover seals and used Toyota black to assist. Swapped out the old spark plugs as well. Decided to high temp wrinkle black the valve covers and paint the coil pack cover while I was at it.

 

Installed the wire harness back on

 

Went ahead and high temp wrinkle painted the intake manifold as well...finished the coil pack cover and did the turbo compressor housing. Engine & trans is set to go back in

 

What paint did you use on compressor housing....i have tried all high temp paint options and none of them worked.....its gets a lot hotter than you think

Eventually had to go powdercoated...

 

Hey I ended up using VHT High Temp flat black...had good reviews and a ton on the muscle heads use it on exhaust. Says it's good for up to 2000°F. We'll see...like I said this turbo is a test run...but eventually I'll be going Borg Warner.

 

And Deadpool's heart transplant begins finally

 

Yay. And what's with the clean MKIII in the back ground? Lol

 

That's my boy Pedro's...he's prepping that for the street soon. Going to be a bad boy once it gets finished and out on the road.

 

Just a quick update...car is pretty much done but ran into a little hiccup along the process path with the drive shaft not mounting up to the trans. Hoping it's just the trans flange because I have a SC400 drive shaft. Trying to source a SC400 trans flange. Shout out to the a**hole that sold me the wrong flange.

 

So finally I was able to find the right flange from the SC400 trans at a local yard I also bought a new Gate's Micro-V (Part # K060775) needed for the upgraded ATI Super Damper from Real Street.
