Default My turbo build thread

Well i have started to rebuild my turbo s again. I had some 3mm HG problems that finally got the best of me so i pulled the motor and had it rebuilt. I also started a wire tuck and shaved the engine bay. My plan is to upgrade to a gtx3076r from my gt3076r with water meth and larger injectors (id 1000's) then a its off for a retune.

before dyno dotted line




here are a few pics of the progress

bore and hone
mahle pistons 8.9 cr
acl bearings
bc rods
balance/blueprint etc




engine bay. I am really new to welding so progress is slow but i am starting to gain some ground now. The metal work is almost done, maybe two days left before i start with the body filler and tons of sanding







Finally finished up all the metal work tonight. I can't believe how much work that was, im guessing i put in over 100 hours. Of course i am new to all this so it probably could have been done in a lot less time. Anyway I am really happy with the results so far. Now I have to prep for the filler and then its phase two of the shave. Here are some finished pics of the metal work. Any feedback, positive or negative is welcome.
