so is this like your first complete rebuild? Looks good so far.

Actually, second. I did a subaru 2.5 RS with STI internals, I posted it somewhere around here.

 

[jose_supra]

oh ok i see. Didnt see the 2.5rs but its cool.

I think that one might be the hx50 or 55 then, still the same CHRA as the 52, but different comp wheels and usually bigger turbine housings.

I hope I won't have fitment issues, but I wouldn't doubt it. This thing is huge.

It's definately not a HX50, it has a smaller compressor housing.

Also the Holset comes with a T4 like exhaust housing, it's called a H2. The pattern of the "mouth" is the same as a T4, but the bolt pattern is around 2-3mm off, so you will have to enlarge the holes.

A 20mm spacer and enlarging the bolt holes should make it fit snug.

Awesome, I'll check fitment. What turbine housing do you have? Mine's the 16cm^2, the smallest one they make for the turbo. I got it for better spool.

I also have the #16 housing, it's a good match for the turbo, you will love it. You can actually get a #10 housing for it, but it's too small compared to the intake wheel and you would choke the turbo with it.

Good build so far. Keep it coming... $1,000k is getting me inspired to attempt my 1JZ... If you know where I can find some drop-in high impedence 550 - 650cc injectors drop me a PM please.

Update:

Painted the block:

And installed the cleaned up pistons with new bearings and rings into the honed cylinder:

Old cruddy and oily piston rings (crappy pics):

Also, I figured that I may as well do a little overhaul on the interior:

Also more goodies:

So far, sooooo good. How much are you in to it now. I really don't care if you do go over the $1000 Mark by a bit. What you are doing to what other people spend is crazy. This reminds me of RIPS building a 9-Second RB30 Skyline for less than $10K. In the end it was them using what they got lying around in the shop, using their tools, and piecing together a Single Turbo setup on a RB30 mounted to a Long-nose Rail car. Sneaky blokes. Haha. Hope this project meets to what your aiming for.


Cheers,

Kirk

I'm actually not over budget yet, but I'm right on the edge. I still need around 200 bucks worth of parts, but Ill see if I can't make some money selling off some parts from the build I didn't use, like the GE head. Should still be pretty decent, as it's almost a brand new rebuilt GTE with big single for less than the price of a used JDM unit.

 

[mr75]

oh so close see if you can bring the cost down just to prove all the haters wrong

 

[Gordon]

The pics in post 227 (painting block) those look like GE pistons, are you using those or GTE pistons?

thanks

 

[YeA 2jZ]

love the silver color on the block i plan on doing the same

GE pistons, I wanted the GE pistons because they bump up the compression a little bit for better spool on the large turbo. Plus they're free and in good condition (after an intensive cleanup).

 

[nomolos1]

You little shit!!!! You where the one to inpsire me to build one myself. I'm addicted now....I'm gonna have to bust you up on the Off Topic.....
Looks great!!!! However, I did paint my block silver first!!!!...COPYCAT, COPYCAT.....jk..

 

[nomolos1]

BTW, would you like to do some parts trading???

 

[tavarish]

What do you have in mind?

Give me a PM and let me know.

Thanks.

Good to know, thanks. But, how much boost you plan on running. or are you just going to have really lazy timing?

 

[tavarish]

I plan on running close to 30psi. The comp ratio isn't that of a stock GE, I'm using the TT headgasket and the quench area is a bit more with the GTE head. It'll be around 9:1, which is exactly where I want it to be. Timing will be stock, as I don't have the timing harness for my emanage yet.

Looking good. Hope you can pull this off.
