I got a red Samco rad hose if you are interested :). Only the upper one though, changing to a polished pipe and the silicone one was only used for like 300 k's. BTW that red Soarer, thats your friend with the Turbonetics GTK right? Tell me more about it on MSN sometime :p

I said to myself every man and his dog is running a GT35. As far as I know my 1JZ will be the only one in Aus running a GTK 550 so I figured why not.

My build should be done soon, getting a custom made Turbonetics GT-K 550(T4, .81a/r, 3" vband). Have an almost identical setup to what you are chasing, antisurge housing, 4" in 2.5" out, single BB, water cooled, 44mm wastegate and should be good for around 600RWHP. Reason I went with a custom...

Believe they were both running around 15psi.

I know of two here in Australia(prob a lot more), first one is non VVTi making 256rwkw(343rwhp) with only an exhaust and second is a VVTi making 260rwkw(348rwhp) with FMIC, intake and exhaust. Then factor in the rumors of Australian dynos giving lower numbers. Learn something new every day :).

I hate the fact that mine is narrow body and burgundy interior. Also hate that everything runs fine for maybe 6 months at a time, then 10 things break within 1 week. This ones only for Aussies :), I hate it that captain Commodore thinks his shitter is faster, and that I feel the need to prove...

Ok the Dark Side thing won me over, guess I'll just have to find a White package JZA70 now :). To keep this on topic, forgot to mention how much I love the brakes, I really need to do something along those lines with mine. PS: I spot my radiator hose picture :D.

About time you made your way over here :). It's so hard to decide now, your car makes me want to keep mine white, while Dan's makes me want to spray it black. Loving that turbo setup, how responsive is it? Good luck with the 1.5JZ if you decide to go down that path, I might have to join you...

When I have the money :). Looks like I over budgeted the conversion by quite a bit, so its either new clutch or new paint. Clutch seems more tempting though.

Correct, even if I was keeping it white though, the engine bay would have ended up black just because I hate white engine bays.

Got my car back, gave it a quick wash. It's a shame the sun wasn't out when I got it back though, either way here are my bad pictures. I couldn't hold the camera still because I was that happy :D. Before: After:

Time for a little update :). Not much has happened lately, big end bearing went 1 week after I got my car back from dodgy mechanic, so my plans have changed for the car now. Car is off as we speak getting the engine bay resprayed in Black Ruby Pearl (206)! Thought I should get it out of the...

I figured you were been sarcastic :D, still doesn't help lol. It's a big change with lots of money involved, even the sarcastic stuff makes me start to second guess the whole conversion. Will be a different story once it's finished though. I think I will go with the GT-K 650, TiAL 44mm...

All this shaft play talk is getting me worried now :(...

Why don't you just do this? :D Celica GT4 Group A with a TT Supercharged 1UZ.

My mind has been made up, GT-K it is! By the way, you have the same keyboard as me :biglaugh:.

Cams will be done when I start to rebuild the other 1jz or go 1.5jz. I won't be running too much boost until I get everything else done, for now will be quite low boost and a SAFC-II. Once I get a decent standalone I'll look into cams more. I'm also leaning more towards the GT-K 500 or 550...

Knew I was forgetting something, for now I'm looking for around 450rwhp with room to grow, not sure if its possible but it also needs to be responsive and see ~20psi by 4500rpm, closer to 4000 though :D. For now it will be going on a 1jz with stock bottom end, but I have a 1JZ in need of a...
