right so whith most of the parts in apart from garret gt35 turbo.....etc

iv now dropped the engine out so just to keep a few of you up to date wiv the builde etc
yestaday i went up the garage to work on the car the engine is all dropped out along wiv gearbox,intercooler,turbo,exhaust,accileries

yet again my plans hav been put back due to unforseen failure. well were shall i start well the transmition was best described aswell mullerd an as for the diff that was plain fucked wasnt surprising considering it had put up with abuse for nearly 20years with an extra 150bhp runnin throu it,then we moved on to checking the turbo,stupidly i assumed that it would be fine as its was only replaced last year for a brand new hyrid turbocharger from turbotechnics (irl post a link for peaple who want to no what hybrid means etc) whith full garret internals,we checked the shaft an saw there was upto 0,9mm play which is to excesive especialy for the age, after more exsamination we noticed the blades had actuely hit the hounsing cousing sum to bend an chip needless to say i pissed :realmad: , we now need to do more investigating to figure out the actual cause of the engine faulure, i.e was it due to turbo internal faulure cause foreighn objects to go inside the engine causing valve/piston, bore damgage, or was it caused by the ringland snapping on cylinder 3 causing metal particles to go into the oil feed to the turbo bearing/internals causing the turbo failure.
after all that we noticed the brake master cylender wasnt workin correctly so a new one is needed from toyota and they dont come cheap!
but wot does these days...
well as for the gearbox iv sourced a new gts gearbox with a 2way cusco diff from japan to suite needless to say it was damn exspensive!!! (bang goes the scooby :offtopic:)

now i have the joy of arguin my case to the manager of turbotechnics no doubt they arnt goin to want to admit responsabilty so untill i find the actual cause tho project has cum to a holt,so its unlikly now that the car will be on the road untill 2010 :censored: :censored: :censored:
