It will. It should be better than the ht18 with the standard pump andy has. But once the 12mm goes on it will be incredible. If all other supporting mods are done this turbo can support nearly 200rwkw
I took the turbo into Pirtek today and there was an old bloke in there who used to be right into drag cars, street machines, etc.Quote:

It's killing me being so time poor! I think I'm good to bolt up now. Picked up the fittings for the recirculation and clamps, hoses and oil drain fitting.
I have Lachys birthday party tomorrow and will hopefully wrap this up Sunday time permitting.
The 4" pipe from the airbox is awfully close to the exhaust manifold too and I'll need to grind another 2mm off the alternator bracket. I'm trying to work out how to bring that closer into the side to gain another 5-10mm of pipe clearance.
My issue is having the set 4" snorkel location into the panel so chop chop may be on the cards but will look at it properly over the weekend.
The ht18 was a million times easier but I'm excited to see this running!
Seems like there is going to be carnage after
1 or 2 runs of the black top
Nah she'll be right Roofy. I'll make sure there is enough clearance.Quote:

Hope your right mate lot of grinding and cutting in there
How close is close to the manifold?
I can move the airbox closer to wall so it should clear by 10mm or more. I got lucky with the oil drain.
Very good...............
Getting there slowly.....
Nearly ready to turn the key?
It's Lachys birthday party today. Hopefully tomorrow or next weekend latest.
What's the go Matty or anyone else
All good mate...
Cheers mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next step Andy is up plenty of room
Plenty of room for you to jump in the fun bus Roofy!!!Quote:

A lot of tidying up to do now, get a dump pipe made up and I'm back on the road again!
A lot of tidying up to do!
It will get there, just need to neaten everything up now.
A million thank you's to Matty for helping me too, would've been in trouble with you mate!!!
YOU DA MAN MATTY
about time eh AB must be great to finally hear it running
Looking awesome Batty. Clean up the mess though mate!!
Yeah it's a bit messy mate.Quote:

Wasn't the best pic to show on the forum that's for sure but excited to hear it run!!!
It'll clean up great mate and look mint.
Need you to take some more detailed pics of the mounting of your air box.
Looks awesome though mate, bet you can't wait to take it for a drive now!
Hey mate, I had big issues with mine because of my snorkel location into guard.Quote:

Your snorkel location should hopefully be a straight install using the FATZ OEM brackets mate try that first.
I could've used the OEM set up but I would've ended up with a giant hole on the guard.
Did you have to do any trimming to the alternator bracket or radiator shroud?
Is your second battery still in the standard location or did you have to shift it over at all?
Yeah I had to trim the alternator bracket. The edge of the alternator bracket is about 10mm thick and about 20mm on top so if you just follow the thickness of the side and cut the top of the bracket at the same thickness it fits perfect. I'll take pics for you.Quote:

That's awesome news for me, I shouldn't have to shift the tray then. Pics of the alternator bracket would be good... Thanks mateQuote:

Just need a dump pipe on and a better oil feed.
Matty, oh my god...lol
Just took it for a spin, insane!
Even on a 10mm pump it is a million times better then ht18.
So responsive it's ridiculous. My poor gq is going to be flogged! I am loving the sound of this turbo. Feel like a little kid again!!
