I don't know what crank is in it so that's part of the fun pulling it apart and proving or disproving the usual turbo-A myths.i know the throttle body is slightly larger i measured that last time.
Turbo-A about to have it's heart removed

i'm sorry for the poor quality shots they are taken with my phone as the kids broke my digital camera, as soon as the camera is fixed i'll take it to a scenic location polish the car and get some high quality shots.
I'll keep updating this thread as i switch engines and a few other bits.

Well firstly the wheels are the usual 5 stud, that is a cover with a centre nut design.
The head unit is a pioneer but i forget what model but it's pretty sweet and the look seems to suit without being overbearing.
The engine is already built and run in, It was a project of mine some time ago and i spent a fortune on it in machineing costs alone.
specs are
40,000 klms jap motor.
20 thou over Wiseco forgies (reweighted before assembly)
Chrome moly rings, filed to bore(wiseco spec)
balanced and ground crank
balanced ring gear,harmonic balancer( at the time i was running a a340e)
Acl crank bearings
Block tested ,cleaned, match bored
Rods tested, ground,weighted, fitted with clevites 77 bearings.
block surface ground to mirror finish
Remote oil filter relocation kit, using large z9 filter
Head ground to mirror, ported and polished, all valves checked, cleaned and reseated
heads coolant ports all cleaned and resized to own spec.
titon 2.0mm metal h/gasket
high flow tridon thermostat
Arp head bolts
550cc Rc injectors
aeromotive afpr
90 ft/lbs tension
all new gaskets, mostly felpro with acl valve stem seals.
intake manifold slightly ported and cleaned
Exhaust manifold cleaned and smoothed internally.
apexi filter
ngk iridium plugs
stinger 8860 standalone
hks bov
A lot of time and a lot of love!
The goal for this motor was no more than 500 hp at the crank and must be smooth and fast revving while produceing plenty of torque.
Testing has already shown the motor even with a stock turbo and a auto in a heavy cressida to out accelerate this turbo-a pretty badly (yes the turbo-a was running a new 60-1 turbo 550 injectors and more boost at the time)
So looking forward to running larger turbo and standalone ecu.

took a new pic so i thought i'd update.The car is now cleaner than ever and i have it in my shed ready for next weekend when it will be fitted with the new engine, will be street tuned till i get a chance to go over to the coast and get it dynoed.
