Not sure where the time went today...
Cleaned up the old bottom end ready for its new home...
Mocked up my old turbo kit for a perspective buyer... needed to check what issues there may be fitting to a car with the earlier style transfer box...
Same lug that needs to be ground down...
Top of the transfer box requires a similar mod to mine for comp housing clearance...
...and the main difference being the cast support bracket...
...vs my steel bracket...
After sorting that... I painted some more stuff
...need to sort the box out really as its filthy...
Tomorrow will be a little pamper day for the Golf as I have a couple of little jobs I need to do but after that the next job is to get the mock up block and gearbox back in the engine bay ready for working out where the turbo is going to go and for all the fabrication work that needs doing like the manifold and various coolant/oil lines...
The head is bare so makes it very easy to take on and off the eleventy billion times that normally required when making stuff like this up... the block is bare too...
Just need to source a comp housing for the GT35 now... been looking at the GT3076 anti surge housing as this is a little smaller than the full fat GT35 one and can be machined to fit the GT35... gives the benefits of anti surge (not sure I'll need it be moving the surge line is always a good thing) and around 20mm extra room to play with... not much I hear you say but anything is a bonus considering the size of the damn thing...
GT3076 housing.. (2" outlet)
...and a GT35 housing... (2.5" outlet)
