I see my name mentioned a few times! Happy to help as always 
Well worth upgrading the engine in the future. 
You having to cut the control arm bolt out of the subframe is quite something!
- either ISCV or TPS. Got a spare TB from a friend, checked the calibration of the TPS and popped it on. Idle wasn't right with this TB - cold idle was too low (800-900RPM). Took it out for a test drive anyway, and had a rather scary failure:
- however the TPS was wedged against the engine hanger and had wedged the throttle partially open. The car accelerating by itself is rather alarming... Lesson there is check everything, don't assume! So, quick swap around of parts, and I now have a working TB again. Obviously it needs to be on maximum attack full JDM spec setting 3:

Just taking stuff off, nothing exciting! Box of bits is getting bigger :laughing It was yellow / green! Also a lot of deposits around the coolant tree and the water pump. While it's not a foolproof way of telling, green coolant is often silicate based coolant, whereas the red stuff is usually OAT, and the two should not mix. Not a massive issue, but given the build up around the water pump and coolant tree, I think it's going to be worth taking the head off and just checking the cooling galleries are clear. Much easier to do it now rather than in 6 months when it's in the car. Is it a hybrid or is that a rev 1/2 engine? Apparently made 235bhp at the wheels, but there's no date on the print out so it could have been from before this turbo was put on. Also when it goes in my car it'll have a different downpipe, intercooler, and boost controller so it's not really relevant. It'll make whatever it makes, I'm not chasing numbers, I'm more interested in how it drives Biggest compressor wheel that would fit in the housing. It was a bit laggy, so I sold it and had a freshly refurbished CT20b with steel shaft/wheel and 360 degree thrust washer. Feels great! (assuming it is with that turbo) -

I personally didn't like it.
Having experienced a CT26 hybrid, I'd be interested to see what you think of it when it's on the car.
'ct20b' turbos have a steel shaft and 360 degree thrust bearing.. its only the turbine wheel that's ceramic'00 Honda CBR600 Follow me on Instagram @c35robcraig wrote:I'm pretty sure it's a 270 item stock?

too cold to work on the engine at the moment. Here it is 2 weeks after washing it with a jetwash in between to get the worst off:

I will be living closer to work though, so it will be used less for boring stuff.
I loved my NAs for daily, not so much the turbo...I'm not really sure why, I think I just got old. Oh and I was scared of it rusting
