Ok, finally completed turbo manifold today, boy am i sick of grinding 
Certainly took a bit to get it to sit with good clearance all round.
Turbo is  gt35 size, 45 mm turbosmart hypergate,steam pipe is 1.4 inch , 80 mm throttle body yet to weld to manifold. head is a yella terra steel 12port



I have now modified sump for external oil pump feed and drilled block for external feed, so now i can reassemble engine. Engine will be grout filled to bottom of waterpump, full stud kit,girdle, roller cam



Off to get heat coated



Later in week i will dummy fit intercooler and radiator so that i can set up inlet and outlets for turbo
And then on to dump pipe.

Hey Pete, the photo does give an illusion, will fit a 3inch 90 fairly easy yep, will need to run a shield to stop getting toasty.
Turbo wise it runs a smaller housing than profc so i am hoping it will be ok

Hi josh, I will take a few photos by the end of the week. Ecu is microtech, I can tune these fairly easy with 1200 cc injectors, the ignition is a 7amp ice unit with 16 volt booster through a standard locked electronic distributor. Just doing body work atm but should also fire up engine within next week as the alloy welding is now complete. Phew
Thanks
Grant
