couple of pics with turbo, gotta find skinny scoop to put over intercooler yet, or fab one up. going to put a little 8" fan under it to pull air down when air flow is minimal (off road)

still to get fuel pump adjusted properly, i've just given the little adjuster screw 4 or so turns. awaiting gauges to set up properly.

has a little more poke with 11Psi pushing inot her :twisted:

Post by def90 »

to fit behind alternator this was the only way, it is a RB20 (skyline) turbo off an import, water and oil cooled, spools up nice and early. i'cooler of a RB20 too, small but better then nothing.
