Brettus Turbo install thread
Well I got my second hand Greddy turbo kit a few weeks back .
Here is what I've done so far
Wonder what's under here ?
bugger me if it isn't a tubo timer and boost control
Don't know about the white face but the location is pretty good
This is the oil cooler Swoope got for me - except it's not an oil cooler - it's a 2nd radiator - don't know if this is a good idea yet
What's that behind the grill - stealth man
Hope this will do the job - it's the Greddy with upgraded compressor wheel
I had to get the unit rebuilt locally as it was leaking oil and had excessive sideplay
mmmmmm round and round

Extreme Ceramic coated manifold . Think this was a good move seeing now how close the turbo compressor housing is to the manifold
also coated the turbo inlet and outlet for no good reason ....

The one I bought was not reversible, but there where three faceplates included with it. A black Air/Fuel Ratio, a white Air/Fuel Ratio, and a black Lambda Ratio. ALl three are tin/aluminum with the part number stamped on the back.
. So has phil got a black guage face he doesn't want ? heh

Turbo is in . Not as bad to install as I was expecting . Taking both engine mounts off definately helped . Have run into an issue with the steering shaft getting in the way of the pipework (RHD ) . I'm going to sleep on it and see what I can do in the morning .
Pics to come .
Had two people lined up to help but neither could make it so I'm just taking my time doing the whole thing myself .

Same thing for me Brettus. I had a friend that was supposed to help me, but forgot that he was going away for the weekend of the install.....So I ended up doing it most of it myself. I was sore for the next 4 days because of it. Working on your back is no fun. I had so many cuts on my arms and hands too...lol.
BTW, question for you....is your car a 5 speed 4 port or 6? or 6 speed 6 port..? that whole JDM thing confuses me.
