Hey guys, first off just wanna give forewarning that this will be a slow build and will be going the pace of what my wallet can handle.
Build will include the following in this order(hopefully)
-Custom Front mount turbo kit with a goal of 400hp as a Daily driver.... For now...
-Cosmetic stuff for my truck will most likely be later down the road
I've been hanging around the forum readin up on some great builds,(torspd, toon, etc) and just been loving them. I've been workin up the courage to finally go this route for my taco and what pushed me to do it was after helping my brother build his front mount kit for his truck and took a ride in it. Hence the boost addiction began. So I will be asking for assistance from the community and I hope I can share info that's valuable in return.
So without further a due..... Here's some goodies that I got so far
So I purchased these items from VS racing over on Theturboforum and got really deal. It's called the Denmah special, which has been tested with proven reliability and approved by him. (*Denmah is pretty famous for his builds over on ls1tech, turboforum, and sloppymechanics. )
Here's what's included....
1 GT 45 Turbo
1 GT 45 discharge and clamp
1 3" intercooler 31*12*3
1 60mm WG
1 50mm BOV
1 2.5" ic piping kit with couplers black
oil drain and feed braided setup
t4 divided flange
***FREE ITEM ****
Turbo T4 blanket
The specs on the turbo are.....
The turbo is GT45 1.05AR 77mm turbine with 69mm compressor
For more info on the turbo, I can pm you the info/link if interested
I Will be using the wastegate in this kit as a paper weight/ornament on my desk as it will be replaced with a Precision turbo 46mm wastegate.
I took apart the turbo to check for anything in it internally and it's a good thing I did. Also checked for any shaft play and there wasn't any so it was good to go!
Look what I found. That woulda done some damage wouldn't it!?
Got this very important piece from Coupe. Will be installing at next oil change.
Also, Thanks to the influence of Torspd , I purchased a spare motor to do a forged build on the side.... But that will be on the back burner.
