So after scavenging the 4 corners off cape town I finally have all that is needed.
This is what my parts collection missions looked like.
This was the last of my trips and managed to get more or less the last couple of things that I needed.
The idea was to not let my car stand for the entire build so I decided to build a separate sub assembly and then just swap it out along with the rest of the turbo parts. Hopefully this will make the build no longer than 2 weeks. .
Some more of the this that I collected for the build.
This engine looks complete but there were a couple of surprises inside. The pistons are ceramic coated but their side walls are destroyed. Some of the bearings were not even put in and the crank was full of metal filings
OK so this is were I started
The head I got from Sakkie at Dynotech and I payed R4200 for the head including the port and flow with the big valve conversion. I think it was a fair price. I am currently running this head with the throttles on a standard ady block.
Some more of the bits that I have been gathering over time.

Some bits from Cowley
This cam from my last part hunt along with everything else in the back of the car for R1000
The idea was to to use one of the sets of 82.5mm Mahle's in the block but once i started stripping it down some clear problems started sticking out their heads! The first was that the pistons that was in the block was way to small for the bore. The second was the condition of the piston skirts and the third was the general shocking way in which this sub was assembled.
The pistons that came out.
The metal shavings on the crank
Some of the mains and big ends weren't even in there. After seeing all this I decided that a complete rebuild was in order. I ran off to Alert and Master Parts and some goodies.
New intermediates
Some peace of mind.

Then the block and internals went of to engineering and came back all pretty. Small ends re bushed to 20mm and crank was cut 10-10.
The internals went to Warren Lotters for balancing and crank magic.
And then came assembly and paint.
So the block is pretty much done and I will be using my Fedanza flywheel and Clutch net pressure plate as it is on my car currently with a vr6 clutch plate.
Then I started looking at the condition of the puffer.
Its housings are very badly machined and not so nice for my setup. There were 2 very small nicks on the compressor wheel and the shaft shows some use but Kallie is going to do some magic there as well as a new compressor and exhaust housing to better soot my application and I will be getting it back some time this comming week. Took some spy shots of his beautiful 2 door while in his workshop.
So this is were I am at the moment. Once I get the turbo back I will be making the turbo manifold. Still need to get a throttle body and a extra set of injectors, decent feul pump and intercooler. Then it is assembly time and dyno will be last week in Jan 2012.
Will do some updates along the way. Please feel free to give any comments and suggestions.

but I also mentioned to him howmuch he can improve over what he has. So far what I've heard about Kallie is only good so yeah, try what he advises if its not gona cost you more, but I'm certain you gona be posting again asking of what other combo suits your motor better. Either way, advice is free and I'm extra passionate about turbo's, so much so that I have a R50K forged billet at my bedside
