also i noticed the head was marked with a A although the ports were exactly the same size as my 7mge cressidas which i had on hand at the time to compare. Heres a pic although i wish i had taken more after all the work done.

Hey cheers for that, info on Turbo A's is really hard to come by. I didnt know they had a number cast into them. I know it was from a Turbo A but if it's the real thing, well I dont really know. What I can say it that it didnt make much more power on the dyno when we bumped it up to 16psi from 14psi, so I left it at 14 :)

First thing to establish its a genuine turbo is the little "E" on front housing! but i didnt know about rear number ill check that tomorrow aswell.

ive got my original injectors in my desk somewhere, i can grab pics??? dont think there much different,, can be wrong though..

cams well by naked eye they dont look very different, maybe different tested on a machine???

Nice pics there Ian. Hmm now I can see how my new comp wheel compares to my old as I have the T-04z wheel in my 35R now.

Seems like quite a difference in the hot side hto

Dan: I found the 3540r made the car really hard to drive as we've discussed before ;)

From 3000 on it was psychotic it's MUCH better behaved with the 04z :D

What cam profile were you running with the 35R? The change with the new comp wheel is interesting, on the dyno sheet its clearly laggier but on the street really it just feels like it hits harder and more aggressively rather than alot laggier.

Thinking out loud does auto vs manual make a large difference to how the turbo feels? Its a shame I never got to use the 35R with stock cams because even the CT-26 felt weak in the midrange when the HKS cams went in

I come from a land down under
Same 280's that are in the car still!

The bigger wheel will be moving more mass at a lower pressure ratio so even if it's perceived as "laggier" going my the boost gauge you're still making more power and the car is faster.

My car was pretty well undrivable as a manual with the 3540r and when I changed to an auto it wasn't a whole lot better (watch some of my vids there's manual and auto footage in there)

The 26 would have been the bottle neck no matter what you did to help it breathe ie: cams head work, think of going for a run and breathing through a straw only.
