hmm, loose term.

Good work though 007, not a fan of the audio, but the rest is fantastic.

There was a lot more work in installing the stereo than turboing the car I will put some more photos up when i get home and start making all the new manifolds up for the new turbo p.s. The old turbo kit if for sale t28 all extractors up pipe, down pipe to cat, water lines, 560cc injectors, fpr...pm me for more details and pic

Did you do any research on who you would entrust to make a custom plenum for your car?

Looks great

yeah i went with Ariel from custom plenum creations, his based in Wollongong he was really good to deal with. When i recieved the plenum back it didnt quite fit so i rang him and he fixed it up with no problems at all. i would highly recommended him good price great product and great to deal with.

Did you consider any other workshops to make up the plenum?
And what size TB did you use?

yeah i looked a a couple of places but i decided to go with him cause he was close and i liked his product and i put a q45 throttle body its a 90mm its off a Nissan infinity

I've heard that 90mm one off the Infinity is a popular upgrade choice. Quite a few guys going for big power are using those.

Is there a reason that you left the stock runners?

90mm is pretty huge

I left the stock runners cause it wouldnt of gained much plus it would of been a lot more work involved...plus im limited by how muh the heads will flow. yeah 90mm is big im just going all out

This FTO is officially nuckin futs, great job man!!!

arrived home to find the plenum doesnt fit so its off getting new inlet runners made. I had to relocate the fuse box to the boot to make way for the turbo didnt think it was quite that big then to make all new headers, dump pipes and screamer up

How did it not fit?
I thought it already didn't fit before and it was "fixed"?

Move the fuse box! That can't have been fun!

Moving the fuse box was a big job over 200 meters of cable run :O had to upgrade to the next size cable due to the voltage drop over the distance run. I wasn't home when the plenum come back the first time but it was hitting on the rocket cover so it was sent back to get modified . . When i arrived home to fit it all up the throttle body was to long and it was still hitting the rocket cover so new inlet runners are being made for it now had to be moved 60mm back 80mm to the left and 15mm up to clear the rocket cover so fingers crossed it bolts up and clears the bonnet :-\

Make sure to post pics.
How much more is it costing you?

For the turbo waste gate injectors plenum and all little bits its come to around 7. . Then i have to make all the manifolds and get it tuned so i guess i won't get out of it under 10 and that's me making and designing everything. .

Stupid question probably but 200 metres of cable? Would it not have been viable to mount it say under or in the glove box? (obviously where noone could accidently kick it etc)

It would interfere with radio in the glovebox probably
And I believe the 200m part...

I don't doubt the 200m either was more or less saying holy sh*t!
And wouldn't there be some sort of box you could make to prevent interfering? 200m must weigh a fair bit..

I looked at that trying to run it the shortest distance but there was no room i had used it all
