Happy New Year everyone!
Since it was a long block now it was time to bolt on the intake and exhaust sides.
For the intake I decided to go with a hypertune manifold along with fuel rail and throttle body.
What a beauty.
Pure porn!
A look inside.
Fuel rail.
Throttle body.
Intake looking right at home.
Exhaust manifold came back from coating along with the turbo exhaust housing.
With the exhaust manifold I decided to go with a twin scroll option, this is made by a local company here in NZ called Sinco Customs.
Turbo oil and water lines arrived, supplied by Mazworx.
Turbo also arrived. I went for a Garrett GTX3071r, this should be quite responsive and meet my power goals.. Well, for now haha.
This wasn't my first turbo choice. I had previously bought the Garrett GTX3067r. The only reason i changed from the GTX3067r to the GTX3071r was because of the power rating. GTX3067r maxes about 500hp and GTX3071r is about 560hp.
GTX3067r vs GTX3071r.
Turbo exhaust housing was also changed from open to twin scroll/ split pulse.
Turbo side all bolted on and oil/ water lines routed.
Since i wasn't going to run air conditioning anymore I decided to get a low mount power steering bracket made by Naprec.
Naprec vs Factory.
Installed.
Couldn't bring myself to putting on a dirty pump so gave it a quick clean.
All done. This one doesn't sit as low as some designs but it is nice and sold and not flimsy like other designs i have heard about.
Put on some large Naprec power steering and water pump pulleys.
