AB's new GQ is finally here

[AB]

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.


He saw the turbo and went right through it and was gobsmacked by the quality.

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.


The new oil drain fitting leaves loads of room, airbox to turbo will be right, I'll work it out

[Sir Roofy]

Hope your right mate lot of grinding and cutting in there

How close is close to the manifold?

[AB]

I can move the airbox closer to wall so it should clear by 10mm or more. I got lucky with the oil drain.

[nissannewby]

Very good...............

[AB]

Getting there slowly.....

[nissannewby]

Nearly ready to turn the key?

[AB]

It's Lachys birthday party today. Hopefully tomorrow or next weekend latest.
