My brother-in-law is the boost Junkie. He's been nagging me to turbo something ever since I met him. So he's given me the old turbo from his Datsun 280ZX.

He's going to help with the tuning part. I may just go with Methanol injection. Don't know yet.

You'll have all the time in the world to sleep when your dead.:D

I only work on it about 5 H every night. Sometimes more if time gets away from me.

So today I pulled the engine out and got it on the stand. Now to pull it apart and see where I was loosing coolant. I've my fingers crossed that it's just a headgasket that went. If the heads are cracked I have my buddies truck here he said I could pull the heads off of.

You should take that boat anchor off the passenger side and build a log to mount the turbo on with some schedule 80 weld el's and then just route the drivers side to it.

Unless you have some support under the turbo, that thing is gonna fall apart like nothin else.

Thanks for that. I'm sure the tack welds will break first.:dunno: But it's 100% done in those pictures and I am too far into the build to change things.

I like it. I do agree on the more support for the turbo though. I may just have to turbo mine.
