Hi guys

So I'm putting a new turbo on the old girl, I'll post up more once I've got everything.

For now I've got

Garrett GT2560R
Subaru Water intercooler
Gasket kit
Stud kit
Water feed kit
T3 to T25 adaptor
Flange
Oil drain kit

Just have to get oil lines, filter and Exhaust bends.

Should be good

New or same Thread

:iconbana: I'm likin what im reading!! I'm wanting to do something similar so ill be keeping a close eye on on your progress, just like every other regular here. My queestion is are you going to start a new thread once you have gathered sufficient photos? or is this going to be it?

What ever happened to the idea I read about putting specified DIY threads into one "OVERALL HEADING" that appears just as the "sugestion box" does all the time. (Eventhought hardly any post new material) Screwy?

Any way this DIY would be a great way to start the whole thing. Go Simonc3!! Dont forget the Photos...:bigthumb: :bowdown:

i wouldnt worry about a special DIY section or anything like that. i reckon just keep all your info in the one thread, and it will be a great reference for everyone. then, ill grab all the good threads, and pop them on a wiki page, like this: http://nerok.info/engine/sd33/upgrading_turbo

[simonc3]

One quick photo before bed, I'll take a pic of the adaptor tommorow (pretty cool)
Most of the other gear should be arriving in the post box next week

Looking good!!! SD's are awesome with open exhaust!

 

[simonc3]

Mocked it up on the spare motor today

One of Matt.McInnes T3 T25 addaptors

The oil drain wasn't in the right spot

So with a lot of swearing and some help from the gas axe, we fixed this!

Looks factory :wink:

 

[Wish I Had Coils]

[simonc3]

**** the neighbours, as long as it sounded awsome

You will not have much room between the alternator and compressor intake. Take this into account when doing your pipe work.

Yeah this looks like somthing I'll have to figure out when I get all the stuff in the car.

Might have to put the intercooler on a later date, I want to run a donaldson at the same time, and figure out were to put the W2A radiator, not sure if I want it infront of the radiator.

I also noticed the inlet of the intercooler is fairly big so that's going to take some thinking. (don't have a body lift)

 

[Wish I Had Coils]

I was looking for a donalds filter to fit mine, I think that it will filter and breath alot better then the standard prefilter, shiould help a little with the smoke??????

I would like to find one that will fit with out having to move the battery tray, and mount up to the safari snorkle.

 

[simonc3]

I reckon one should fit in place of the pre filter, just a matter of finding the right model.

 

[Wish I Had Coils]

when you find one tell me and vise versa

 

[neRok]

my first car came with a big donaldson, (see Aftermarket Turbo System - 160 / MQ / MK Patrol Wiki). i tried fitting it in my new engine bay without butchering the battery tray, but it was just way too big. only place i could find for it was in the wheel arch lol. or like that roothy bloke does with that green 4wd in that magazine, mount it on a roof rack.

make sure you keep us all informed of the donaldson, im still interested in one.
