looks like there is still 2 springs and weights that advance the plate

 

That's excellent, the same basic mechanical/electronic one I've got. I changed the springs in mine to change the curve, you could fit heavier springs or wire stops to limit how much it advances.

Super keen to see how this project pans out!

I recently got a spare 4k and k40 gearbox for $20 so a turbo build that I can swap straight into the ke70 is on the cards.

 

Any particular mods to the 32/36? Are you fabricating your own exhaust manifold?

 

Photos, photos, photos!

 

At this stage nothing to the carb thats why I bought a new one so it should seal quite well.

I will be using a stock exhaust manifold and making a Jpipe off that which i kinda have half done already just need to check the mounting position before finalising.

 

Yeah i will keep the photos coming as i do things to the car mate.

Very clean build mate. I remember going for a run in a gemini years ago that had a blow thru 32/36 weber, far out it went hard!

 

I have a t28 turbo off my s14 if your interested?

 

Keen to see this build come together, good work

 

Do you still have this?

Ok I know I haven't made any update for a while now have had a bit going on.

I will get this up to date soon.

 

Today i stared to mock up the exhaust manifold pipes to the turbo. now before you all laugh yes its plastic pipes and cardboard once I have it where i want I will take it to the exhaust shop and get them to make it up for me.

Ok I have done the other 2 pipes now.

and made a bracket to hold the turbo (for mounting reasons only)

I will now take the turbo and bracket to the car with engine still in there to make sure it fits.

I have a feeling looking at it however it wont fit and will have to make adjustments but that is ok.

I have also drilled and tapped in the oil return line into the timing chain cover. I think this will work nicely.

Hey mate, just a tip - When you get the manifold made up make sure you keep access to the manifold bolts with a socket and extension as you can with stock manifolds. I can't get to the one next to ex port #3 like that, its a bitch and I have to remove the starter motor to give me room to spin a spanner on it.

Cheers mate yeah that will be the plan.

I also tried fitting to the car and the turbo hits the strut I need to move it further forward and up a little higher that is today's task :)
