savage!
How did I miss this thread car looks excellent man I tought ya had a white one bought when I was down picking up the dc5 coilovers,great work done to this look forward to seeing it in person at some shows next year :)
jacki is some sprayer, hes gifted! Lovely car lad, well wear.
Very nice car and your making some excellent choices when it comes to mods etc. Keep up the good work.
I went and looked at Spider-mans white one , was a great car just wasn't for me in the end .. So imported this .. .. Can't wait to get it finished .. Thanks
Jacki didn't spray it . I waited 3 months for him but was too busy so my local martin Dwyer done it and what a great job he done . Expensive but you pay for quality ..
Thanks a million . I'm going to be basically using all the tomei engine parts .. And mapped up on nistune hopefully around Xmas ..Quote:

I'm nearly there . I need it mapped now but my preferred mapper is unreal hard to get on the phone ..
Today's arrival
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psd4728489.jpg
I can confirm to anyone looking for torques for the arp bolts
It's 90flbs in 3 equal stages ..
Can't wait to see these bits on in the flesh. You must take me for a spin ;)
Actually got home to find this was delivered today aswell ..
All I can say is WOW !!
The detail on this is crazy . The welding is porn !
The size of the thing no wonder they are ment to increase spool time and harder pull ..
This ladies and gentlemen is why tomei is the best car part manufacturer in the world ..
You pay for what you get !

I have one of those on my ps13. Serious bit of kit
These shall do nicely ...
Tomei poncams . 256* 11.5 mm
I think that's the head finished up now ..
Gonna be busy for a weekend fitting all these bits ..

Do you need any other mods to support the cam shafts?? Courius . Like rocker arm stoppers , and all the other bits for the head. I also have the turbo elbow. It's cool as fuck.
No Rico cams are drop in . No springs . No retainers . Cam gears are optional for precision tuning but I didn't bother
They are a great cam . Depending on boost pressures and turbo size you can free up about 20bhp with a tune ..
Yeah the turbo elbow is amazing haha .. You don't realise how big it is till it's in your hand ..
Rocker arm stoppers are a safety/reliability mid for the torture I'm going to give it
Was just courius to know, was on the tomei web page and thinking of just buying everything !!����
So bita Xmas work done
Ripped off the head on the ps13 and installed my arp studs

http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps8e8dcd8f.jpg
Started fitting my tomei poncams and using my tomei assembly lube too
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps181cf7d1.jpg
Got it all timed up and fitted with the rocker arm stoppers
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps1b8ba241.jpg
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psbf6a098e.jpg
Here's the start to the manifold . Waiting on nice burr bits for the Dremmel to arrive so I can go at it properly . That was the first dart with the plasma . Gonna remove the walls completly inside to make it single scroll
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps81a0d9e8.jpg
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psc1220b8c.jpg
Also got myself a non hicas rear subframe so I'm gonna get it powder coated and fit it with all kaber performance arms ..
Just a reflection photo . Still needs wet sand I think . But I'm picky
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psbd0ed0f1.jpg
When removing my turbo to do the head the manifold nuts were slightly loose . Now I remembering bulling them on , guess there lost their out of round lock but effect . So got all new ones with some gaskets and also got two oil filters . Genuine filters only will be fitted !
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps7b3d8d0e.jpg
Fitted the z32 fuel filter . Luckily enough . My old one was blocked solid .. Can't stress it enough lads change your filters . These cars are 23 years old . We'll mine is .. My fuel rank is slightly rusty . Might buy a new one as there 400 euro . Which isn't too bad considering I'll get another 20 years out if it ..
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps749e33e5.jpg
Fitted solid steering bush
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps60714aaf.jpg
How it sits now waiting for my inlet manifold and thermal gasket to arrive
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps21d47e01.jpg
I'm sure I'll get there soon . Plan is finished for japfest 2015
I also stuck on tyres in work . Stretching is dangerous with hairspray and fire ha
9.5 j with 215

http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps21ce3c52.jpghttp://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...pscf895619.jpg
So today's delivery was a Freddy inlet (greddy copy) . A thermal intake manifold gasket and a 3 inch z32 filter adapter so I can pick my my own air filter without bolting it onto the mad ..
I knew the manifolds were shite quality but this one is terrible haha .. It's brutal , how they let them leave the factory like this is beyond me . But I knew this do I have dremmeled heads on the way aswell so I can fix it ..
Where can you go wrong for 90 euro delivered
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psd8bef4ed.jpg
love this car!
Whats bad about the manifolds? The inside of them bad quality for flow etc? Just i'd like to know always wanted too :)
Thanks .. Which manifold do you mean ? Both intake and exhaust need work ..
If you say which one I'll tell you what's up with them ..
Picked up myself a little rare mines k and n filter . Just a nice jdm touch
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps09acf38d.jpg
Picked this up today .. Just get the oil pressure.temp and water temp and controll unit now . It's the link series
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psca69559f.jpg
So mapping in 3 weeks time . Got to put it back together and get it running . I dropped the full tank to try sort the rust ..
Got my earls fuel lines fittings today ..
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...pswlljxsij.jpg
I guess there's no going back now
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...pslmgpohdx.jpg
Excuse my ignorance . But why weldup the flap on the turbo?
External wastegate ��..
