Jim,
Thats a result. And somewhere where we thought we would be with our build...but thats a long storey (painfull like yours too at times)!!!
OK to ask a couple of questions?
The gt3071r turbo in the earlier pics has a Mark 1 ATP turbine housing for the Evo 8-10...Did you use this turbo complete???

Hi mate, any update on the dyno sheet photo?
Re: TRD Widebody - 509.6BHP!
Hi guys,
Sorry for the delay in response. I haven't had any automatic updates telling me people had commented on here. I put a dyno chart in a different thread, in modifications I think it was.
The original Evo housing was binned and I went to a 4 bolt 3" housing to allow easy fitment to the XS power manifold.

Cheers, yeah goes well, a bit laggy if i'm honest but when its on boost it goes well!
Got the rear Tein's off at the moment and having them re-furbed as the damping is goosed. The adjustment screw is stuck. Got a few more bits to do over the coming months/year. I'll put any pics up as it progresses.

Hi Jimbob,
Just read your build thread, as am researching my own, which began a few weeks ago; Have posted elsewhere and searched, but I am very interested to learn more about cutting the rear quarters/arches:
If you have any of those pics/step by step guide I would be very very grateful??
Cheers
Daz

I'm trying to find some more pictures of the TRD fitting, I have them on CD somewhere. One of the biggest jobs was to cut then weld the arches and I wanted to put up some images of this.
If you have any of those pics/step by step guide I would be very very grateful??
Cheers

Re: TRD Widebody - 509.6BHP!
Miraculously I remembered my password after all this time.
Still got this car and after around 8 yrs off the road I am working my way through a long list of further upgrades and changes. Should be breathing fire again soon. Wheels are away being powder coated, engine bay is being de-cluttered and got a set of brembos and big brake upgrade going on. Can't believe I've owned this car about 16yrs now. Other cars have come and gone, but refused to sell it, even selling my skyline this summer to fund more work.

Mind blown!! Can't believe I've never seen this build before, some of the usernames in the thread too!! Forgot RyanG used to be on here.
Funny the car's still laggy, I had the exact same issue when my cam timing was out. Once I fixed that the lag is gone, My turbo is 3076 size too.

Re: TRD Widebody - 509.6BHP!
I will get more pictures up in the coming weeks. This build thread is almost restarting now!
Cars up and running with new fuel lines. Now tidying up all the vac hoses and ancillaries, fitting a new rad, modifying the water elbow to include a header tank, then redo all the boost pipes in welded v clamp ally.
Wheels will be done this week so I can drive it back into the garage and start the rest of the work. Will keep me busy this winter.

Any suggestions on aluminium radiators? Seen some of the thicker eBay ones. Any horror stories or generally ok?
