bump... any help apprichiated

bumping this for help id'ing the turbo ive aquired

LONG TIME NO TALK! so its been a pretty shitty few months for the city im not going to lie ha. but i have managed to prgress! i have no bought this for the city can anyone help me out with how to find out its exact model so i can look into rebuild kits? it say A/R .48 on the compressor housing and was sold to me as a T22. if its a dud im not worried i got it for litterally nothing haha. now a mate has offered to do a full stainless exhaust for the city and things are about to get exciting! plan is to get him to fill weld the exhaust housing, then mill it flat, and using a custom gasket separate the exhaust housing and the waste gate housing! ill run a 1" pipe straight off the wastegate all the way to the back and a 2.5" straight off the exhaust outlet all the way to the back. it may, or may not work but hey im getting this all done pretty cheap and its something ive wanted to do from the start so im very excited! at the same time ill bore out and polish the waste gate outlet to get the best flow i can i was told the top rubber intercooler (or interwarmer lol) pipe was leaking all my boooostz! so im taking the intercooler out all to gather for the mean while, ive just bought 2 90 degree silicon joiners and ill get some s/s pipe to go straight off the back of the turbo to the throttle body. and then redo the boost leak test and go from there. sadly as you all would have read eariler the boost controller was a dud which im gutted about, but on wards and up wards! a new boost controller is on the cards but not till after the exhaust and turbo is sorted out thanks heaps for reading everyone! i promise ill try get more updates in now and i really want to get back out to the local oldschool meets Joe

wont be able to make this on... again..... which is gutting because the slippery gypsy should be running by then! in regards to the groynes, do you have to book a bbq area? and is it just coin opperated or something?

True that looks like ive got some study to do ha. Yeah true. Ill probably get my local engineer to fix up a level manifold once its all together

so this thing has gotten neglected quite a bit lately, just been flat out, but i decided to test fire the engine to see all was well before getting to in depth https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=703171749692969&notif_t=like i just need to weld in proper mounts rather then the zip ties holding the whole thing togather at the moment haha. and test to see if theres any problems with the float being at the angle its at. ive been told by people to keep the pedels, where i was just going to replace with pegs, because they reckon i have to pedel upto a decent speed first before giving it gas, someone care to explain / give opinions?

17th is good. im away any earlier. so a pack of meat, bit of onion, few brews... orr...?

FUCK! i knew i forgot something!

things have come to a standstill. need to make time to get the faulty boost controller out so i can get my money back, not in a massive rush as ive got this to drive me around now

Im in for a few brews in a decent beer garden. Prebbelton sounds good. Although ill be bringing my new toy this time, v8 soarer

Id be happy to do words or photos if I can get a heads up for an event.

ah yeah my bad, probably shouldnt be so vauge ha, but yeah 200hp atw with a bigger turbo, exhaust and air to water intercooler intake, with ported t/b and reground cam. should be achievable, thats what a mate of mine was making on less mods.

200 whp man hahah. Got the car back today and to be honest im really disappointed... not hitting full boost till the end of 3rd and my boost gauge isnt working anymore. Hate ti say it but I honestly think bits slower (N)

hks boost controler turns out the actuator is fucked, so the nice chap i bought it off said hed refund me, and ill just buy a evc 6 instead, really really gutted, but these things happen. im just happy the guy i bought it off is a good sort. on the positive side, the guys at spec found the boost leak and it is now fixed. hope to get it on the dyno eventually to see how much of a difference its made, and when i get an other boost controller ill bump it upto 14 psi (fuel cut) and see how we're getting on. thanks for reading.

dope, lets get funkie with some hippies. am i bringing the new 1uz soarer or the city?
