    GT675RS install

    Hey all!!!!!:D
    Jus got my turbo's today. Pretty excited!!! Thanks to Street to Strip.
    An comin across a couple of issues. First- Do you need to keep the heat shield on the exhaust manifold???? as there isn't really enough clearance with the bigger turbo to leave it on.
    Secondly- Because of the increased size of the part of the turbo that feeds the engine(please excuse my poor terminology) Z1 have had to install a spacer where the hard pipe(oil outlet) connects to the turbo.

    This cause the pipe to not totally miss the pipe coming from the block

    YEAH!!!!! GOT IT STARTED!!!

    Fired it up this arvo.:D Just a few quick idles on n off. making sure we got oil everywhere. Had a few earthing issues at first. Dropped another battery in an it started every time.
    Got the options of buying light weight alloy under drive pully, ps pully an alternator pully, Unorthodox brand. Second hand for $200 for the set. Good deal???:confused:
    Also picked up some cheap R32 GTR rims for $500 with tires. Couple are a bit gutter scrapped. but still good. 5 spoke 18" by 9.5".
    Mannn!!! Awesome day!!!:D

    Yeah, that's a bargain for the pulleys. Go it!

    Good to hear you got it working. No dramas getting the gearbox on?

    ITS A LIVE !

    Good on ya, you certainly havnt stuffed around.

    Hows it running are you tearing up the neibourhood yet ?

    lol

    In regards to pully's if you want your motor to provide more power and move quicker towards a rebuild, go for it.

    But based on the requird power above (300Kw) I think you will be able to produce that without a lightened pulley.

    Awesome a spair set of tyers leaves a set for static traction measurements :rolleyes:
