Hemanhead Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Beautiful mate. Great progress Zach. work of art mate love it Thanks guys, I might get some more updates tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemanhead Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Next round of updates, no shiny content unfortunately, maybe next time The heatshield is still in place on my car, I guess it kinda ruins the look a little but it serves a purpose, the single turbo cars do get hot! The lads took the car our and car the bay a clean, Cleanliness is next to godlyness and all that. Next up is to take the VVTi loom, tinker with it and then start extending all the wiring to take the fuse box from under the passenger headlight to the boot. So after that, this is the new boot locations, Ignore that massive AMP, it won't be staying. Washer bottle also removed from the bay, crackle finished and dropped in the boot. And thats how the boots looks once finished, clean and OEM, just how i like it. I will fit a small sub in the spare wheel well at some points, I doubt I can get a spare that will fit in there and over the big brakes anyway. Thats it for now Edited March 1, 2017 by Hemanhead (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemanhead Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 So parts have been to and from the polishers and the rest of the engine can start to have things bolted to it. In one of the photos you can see down the runner into the engine, such a nice finish on the hypertune parts. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemanhead Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Wow .... that looks damn cool. Looking good mate Thanks lads, here's another update just for you then. The aircon is going back in, this is probably one of my favourite retro refits mods, it will be great on summer trips to cool back down In keeping with the theme though, everythings going black. Heres an item you don't see being fitted new very often Engine dress will be finished in the next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 It's all coming back together nicely. Seen it in the flesh at different stages. Looks great. Going to be awesome when finished and being black inside engine bay with few things shiny looks awesome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bud, it's been nice seeing your's become complete, I remember when the engine was on a stand next to mine hah Looking good. What's the part in the last 2 pics? OEM Oil cooler & housing iirc $$$$ too , looked it up Yeah Modine oil cooler, Decided that as its a new engine and turbo why run the risk of contaminants, got Lee to change all the parts in the oil system.

Hemanhead Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Most of the parts are on the engine now, I bought a PHR black edition pulley set in the black friday sales possibly two years ago as I already knew how I wanted the engine to look back then although I didn't think i'd own a VVTi, there are apparent advantages so Lee talked me into that. VVTi and the 6870 turbo should make for one hell of a street car if recent dynographs are anything to go by. I got the waterpump cover, blackened but it covers up alot of the billet machining, these little minor details really stand out on a well dressed engine, have a look for yourself, but i decided to run it without, looks alot botter in my opinion. Ohh and that little oil cooler and housing got itself an oil filter, we're getting there now, more and more an engine every update. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Luc Very nice, clean and modified to a point where it looks like it should've always been like that from Toyota (single tubby included ) Thanks, that's what im going for, modified 'classy' if that can be a thing. It's got to be single turbo though doesn't it . It seems a shame to use it and get it dirty Hah, I know what you mean but I have all the undertrays and with them in place it doesn't get dirt atall.

Hemanhead Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yes, moar updates, with lots of pictures. This time the Billet fuel rail and 1500cc ASNU injectors have been fitted. The upper waterneck as been finished in a satin black and below on the waterpump some SRD bracketry, keeps everything neat and tidy. A couple of finishing shots showing it all coming together, just need to see something on the exhaust side next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemanhead Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Clutch is fitted and it looks a great piece, time will tell as to how it feels and holds up but RPS has a mostly good reputation so i have high hopes. Also you are constantly coming across parts that are worn and want replacing, this time a selector bearing if i remember correctly. Engine to be fitted next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
