That is Fehlbies turbo, we are using it to make a custom exhaust manifold...
Plenty of things to do yet to have it running, but getting it in the bay is one of the big ones completed.

It is looking really good Mark. It is great to see it actually fitted into the car rather than on the garage floor. I'll have to come around and check it out.

Yes - this might then lead to more, but I am going to resist.

Mark will you be running a cossie ecu, or are you sticking an autronic on it straight away? If you are making a custom exh manifold, does that mean your 4wd manifold will be for sale?  Oh and that motor looks good in the bay! cheers, nigel

...I am using the latest model Autronic SMC. 4x4 manifold is on loan. I am trying to make one purchase and buy items that are the best suited to my needs first time...Only the turbo choice is negotiable. Might use the T3 and then change, or if we can get the manifolds together quickly, I will go straight for a ball bearing unit similar to what is seen in the photo.

makin good progress!! mark i wanted to ask you about the celica box. what diff are you running? i have a hilux diff and custom tail shaft that bolts up to the standard Escort box / sierra 5 speed. i can't fit the tailshaft yet as i dont have a celica yoke to go on the tailshaft plus i think the tailshaft will need to be shortened by about 60mm. what issues have you had with tailshafts and how did you overcome them? thanks Shea

Borg Warner shortened to standard Escort width with discs, 4.11:1 limo. I had the tailshft shortened, yoke welded and then shaft balanced. No worries.

Looking great mark...[:u] Are you using the old radiator or are you organising a polished pwr job?? and intercooler?? plenty of room in the front of the rs2000 nose cone. and no one will see it (especially the police) what colour are you going witht he other valve cover?? the blue looks nice... are you going chrome or red?? you will have some lag with that turbo.. what sort of power are you going for? or are you just going standardish type tuning first? traction will be an issue for sure! not that thats a bad thing!!!

Polished rad/cooler and cover. Keeping the engine tame for the first run.
