I've just finished installing a VJ11/Thunderbird hybrid turbo...
We'll see what happens. I've had a huge oil leak for some time now and I finally narrowed it down to the head gasket, so I decided to replace it today after work. Its now 4am and I have to be to work in an hour. lol.
Anyways I've had this thing sitting around for a while and I figured I'd give it a shot. Its much larger than the stock turbo, and about as big as you can really go for "bolt on" upgrades - but its still a small turbo. I think in the range of normal turbos its considered a very small T3, or a t25ish flavor.
I ported the hell out of the wastegate back while it was still a VJ11 so I really hope I dont run into overboost problems.
Pictures tomorrow, if I can find the time to clear out the card on my camera. I need to weld up a new downpipe and tidy up a bunch of odds and ends.
I've worked on these cars too much now...i've damned near memorized every bolt and connection. Makes me sick sometimes lol..
damn. i need to sleep.
