    I still have a lot of bodywork pics and progress to post, but I'll just skip it for now and get to the good stuff! Two whole years for replacing sheet metal and sanding my life away in the garage every night.... I can't believe it's finally painted white. Still a lot more work...

    Its hard to say, since i was finishing and insulating the entire garage at the time. Setting up the ventilation was about 5 hours total. Setting up the booth itself was another 3 hours total. Quick, removable, cheap, and effective, !

    I have not updated this thread in quite a while, so I feel like I am a bit overdue. I have had a lot of things happen over the last 2 years of missed updates, but it’s mostly been pretty boring, so I haven’t really wanted to share. I am getting closer to my end goal of it being...

    I am using the HY35 with 9cm housing. I think it's equal to like a .61a/r or something. It spools just like the CT Basically

    CT26 upgrade question

    I also had nothing but problems with Driftmotion 57trim CT26's. Same issues as you, lasted about 500 miles before it started smoking. 400 of those miles were at 10 psi, and 100 miles at 14psi, always cooled before shut down. Aaron wasn't so great to me though and refused to admit fault and...

    hx35 on 7mgte

    Here is how I mounted my H(Y)35 I did indeed weld the internal W/G shut and used an enternal 46mm gate, and it works perfectly. I did not use the OEM exhaust outlet, I bought a holset flange and welded a vband onto it for a cleaner look. The holset cast piece is damn ugly. I bought separate T3...

    7M-GTE powered 1977 Celica Liftback, kicking ass

    I just thought I would update this with my new Holset HY35 setup! Not a ton faster, becasue I am running only 15psi, but its amazing, and I love everything about the turbo. The spool sound is just wicked! Spools up just like the CT26 did too. Still Stealthy During swap. FIN Just...
