Yes its time... I have the H22 motor out and on an engine stand... The turbo sitting nicely in its place. I will let the pictures show more detail.







And to prove its actually my motor, here's Ian and I with the beautiful beast.

[skinnyboy]

good work sunshine!

Full specs and plans please!

[VCobra]

Woah that looks insane! like an alien poo. But in a good way!

I believe it's urs, but standing next to it isn't sufficent evidence. I wanna see it in all the way! A dollar for everytime I've said that and I'd be turbo'n my lude....

[andy]

i likeee!!!!!

nice work

[phantomgrey]

looks like a serious setup, internals?

[PreludeTAS]

Wow, that engine has haemhorroids! Nice work brudda

[AdReNaLiN]

good work sunshine!

Full specs and plans please!

Nope... teaser for now

[Bob]

Its about time you started a progress thread. Looking good.

[AdReNaLiN]

Thanks Bobby, this mani/turbo has been sittin in my bedroom a long time.

Thought I'd crack her out for a test fit up... I have to shave a very small amount off the front motor mount where the turbo doesnt quite clear it, but its nothing that would compromise the strength of the mount at all.

PS:
Someone buy my gearbox!

[luda89]

are those welds on the exhuast manifold going to cut it???

they look a bit dodgey, just blogged on there??

[typevu]

Nice work! Looks like some kind of evil contraption hanging off the side of the engine haha but looks nuts!

[AdReNaLiN]

Do you know what constitutes a "good weld"? Just because a weld looks "pretty" doesnt mean its a good weld, and vice versa.

[xmkydx]

wow nice manifold! whats the turbo from? is it a wrx one like some other ludes have used? looks like it should snuggle in quite nicely behind the rad.

[Phatlude]

Lol u have the same turbo as me on my lude. T04E. Man i hope u got some heat shrouding for ur radiator hose lol. Hey who did ur manifold? I wanna get a custom one made up for my car but its a F22A. I got Quoted $650 from 999 automotive. What are ur thoughts?

[AdReNaLiN]

The manifold is perfect, the turbo only just touches the front motor mount which I will shave a little off.

T04E's come in a number of different sizes mate. Look at the AR measurement.
