Can confirm this model works, some are a bit hit and miss on the isf. Apps that work well are obd fusion or auto doctor https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F262925934977

Bit short notice Just seeing if any ISF owners or even other varieties are keen for a Wednesday evening meet up in Brisbane? I’ll be home and keen to take the car out, thinking possibly dfo car pack or open to suggestions before I make a event post. comment if interested

It’s a tough market out there, try flooding it on the socials and market place on Facebook. Under 40k is a steal once fixed

Still a $1200-1500 job regardless size of leak

Cheap

Update, back at next level motorsport revising the oil setup. A oil tank on the drain tank got fabricated to capture any excess oil sitting in the turbo to save it from building up onstart up, also a time delayed relay getting added to the power supply for the scavenge pump to run after car has shut off to any excess oil is removed prior to firing.

It’s been running and driving a few weeks now Ive been insanely busy with work this year which has given me pretty restricted time to get stuff done on the car. Went on it’s maiden voyage to lexus Springwood for a few maintenance items, they were a bit confused and intrigued at the same time. Just a matter of finding time now to get home to get it tuned, the more it got driven the more the ecu was adapting to the new mods, was good to hear a slight turbo whistle and exhaust note on the car has changed completely.

Not as yet, have got contacts to get made new copper head gaskets and also found a compatible set of arp head studs I can use. It will only be seeing half a bar or so of boost to begin with and proceed to push it from there.

No words can describe the frustration, it was either rip the car out and loose what had been paid or wait it out and get my moneys worth. I was lucky to get the car back when I did, I’ve heard of some shops doing crazy things when their business is going down the toilet. On a positive note more work in progress 😎

I laughed when I read it, I’m still well under my projected budget of 13ish k finished and tuned. Never been a fan of his kit as it’s limited powerwise and the quality of some areas are not up to my standard. It’s been out how many years now and how many have we seen in Australia...? I will be adding the addition of a interchiller down the track, single digit intake temps would be a dream and even after purchasing that I’ll still be under what the rr Sc kit cost, shipped and installed.

Hey fellas, Apologies for the quietness in regards to my turbo build. In my opinion it was a case extremely bad time and money management, can only assume the money dissapeered early in the peace and he relyed on smaller jobs to keep the business afloat. No bingo, I had enough so I had no choice but to get the car back. I received a final invoice Monday after I took the car back for a finished product, remaining works to be completed at a later date was noted at the bottom. Back in November I was onto him about how long it was taking and we agreed when it was going to be ready and that the total was going to be under a certain amount due to delays etc. I paid few grand initially for parts and another few for progress then the work stopped, more and more jobs kept getting pushed out of his shop for land cruisers and the lexus sat. He started doing a little more, he set a couple deadlines for himself which were not met, I gave him many deadlines including final deadline which was the 22nd of March. No surprises it wasn’t finished, so I picked up the car regardless. The invoice received was rubbish, no real itemisation and claimed 300hrs approx spent on it as well as being over agreed amount. I asked very nicely for a itemised invoice to which I was ignored and haven’t heard anything in 3 weeks... Since then the car has been and gone from Cleveland exhaust for final fabrications that were left unfinished, The hoff done amazing work as always and pushed it through quickly, even got my hands dirty as well and designed/ fabbed the new intake setup/ splash shield as the one on the car was non existent and put together a catch can setup for the engine cover breathers. Its off again tomorrow to another friends workshop for all coatings (high temp and powder coatings) as well as remaining wiring. Firing it up is not far away now 🙂

Around the 3 grand mark shipped, pending what options you tick when ordering, plus fitting which is only 500-1000 max. As for power I ended up gaining 20kw and a heap more torque, not to mention the sound it un leashed.

Bit of an updated underneath pic 👌

Not a turbo in sight 🤔

Toluene has always been a favourite of mine, used it a lot instead of going down the e85 route on the last car. Excellent for knock protection and raises ron, at $80 for 20L it’s around the same if not a bit cheaper than Nulon octane pro strength mixing around 5 litres to a tank but is far more effective.

Yeah there was no way to fit the 76mm in the original desired location. This was as far foward as we could get it. Didn’t want to do a rear mount setup behind the diff

It’s a lot more complete than what is shown, I am hoping a month or so. im hoping for 10s

One of many of these posts

More parts came in today, cooling for the water to air 👌

What size nt01s did u end up getting?

For those not on Facebook, With most of under the bonnet w2a setup completed thought I’d give a little sneak pic of the floor warmer, supporting mount is welded up ready for coating. Front cover is off getting machined for a little more clearance, not sitting in exact location but you get the idea. Still all coming together slowly
