thanx, yer ive only seen 1 or 2 esorts with an fj in them and one of them is yours.
i believe i have inbetween 75-80mm to fit a thermo but i haven't got one as of yet, i got the main pulley machined down so that it is know just a one belt pully because that was where the clearence issue was.

nar its all good i dont mind its no big secret, Its a gt3071r .70 front trim .82/84 rear hosuings.
Seamed to be the turbo to go as alot of people run them on on FJ's.

as for engine mods i have no idea what iam doin yet but bottom end will most likely be spool rods with either Arias or JE pistons and might do some head work.
if i leave it standard i will be looking for 350+ rwhp
or worked ill be looking for 450ish rwhp both on 20psi

i will post up power figures etc when its all done but be a little while yet, let us know how yours goes.

cheers

Nice car! I have a pretty much bog standard FJ with the T3 and forged pistons in mine. EMS stinger ECU also. I want to get the T3 high flowed which should get me an extra 50hp ATW to total 250RWHP.
Can I ask what gearbox you are running, any mods to it?

Cheers

yer high flow and even a custom manifold as ive heard that the standards manifolds are bit restrictive and you would also gain another 30-40hp so ive been told.
gearbox is a stadard RB20 box apparently its been rebuilt but i dunno, but for the time being thats going back in untill it brakes and then iam buyin a PPG dog box for it.

heres the pics of it all finished with the blackouts around the windows and new hoodlining in, dash also got painted black. still waiting on gettin it polished just have 2 wait a month befor can do it.






thanx for comments guys.

Lookin' good dude. Can't wait to see it all done.

Hey looking really nice

what steering column are you using?

Thanks Andrew

thanx guys, need to get pics of it in the sun looks much better in real daylight.

the steering colum is just standard just been moved over, but the engine bay side of it is custom with billet unversal joints if thats what you were reffering to.

thanx for the pic, i have a fair few pic of your car. where abouts have you ran your reservoir bottles as iam not to sure if i like where mine are, i do but i dont as the lines will have to be fairly long but i dont want to put them beside the heater bubble where every one normaly puts them.
and yer cant wait to hear what it sounds like and drive it should turn a few heads when i keep up with the V8's

cheers

yeah thats what i was refering to the universal joint, looks good lot better than standard
